Where is the Gender Bose Einstein Condensate and Gender Time Crystal?

[–] TriflingToad@sh.itjust.works 17 points 10 months ago

yet another failed attempt to map the gender spectrum πŸ˜”πŸ˜”

[–] Tlaloc_Temporal@lemmy.ca 12 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Gender BEC would be a low energy gathering where all of a sudden everyone is on the same wavelength.

Gender Time Crystal would be someone who switches between two genders regularly.

[–] sp3tr4l@lemmy.zip 6 points 10 months ago

Time Crystal Gender = Gallifrean

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

My favorite gender is gender ice 9

[–] dylanmorgan@slrpnk.net 8 points 10 months ago

How about gender superglass?

[–] SuiXi3D@fedia.io 40 points 10 months ago (2 children)

The moral of the story is don’t put someone under too much pressure or get them too heated, otherwise they’ll go gender critical.

[–] leisesprecher@feddit.org 11 points 10 months ago (1 children)

That is ...

Surprisingly deep.

[–] SuiXi3D@fedia.io 9 points 10 months ago

Nah, just math. Look at the graph!

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

Well normally it'll get gender fluid all over the place but if you do it right they'll go gender critical and get gender all over the place. That's how we got the month of June.

its what all the linux girls using KDE are

It's how they turn the frogs gay

[–] archonet@lemy.lol 24 points 10 months ago (1 children)

the "it's just a phase" diagram

[–] prettybunnys@sh.itjust.works 11 points 10 months ago (1 children)

This shit should be titled β€œit’s just a phase”

Your joke is funnier than the OP.

My dude you ought to steal this and add it to the chart and repost as your own.

[–] archonet@lemy.lol 3 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

when I thought of it, I thought to myself "this is either going to be massively misconstrued as me trying to be a dick to trans people, or I'm a comedy genius, lets find out", rad that it's the latter

sidebar: I also considered "I Can't Believe It's Not a Phase Diagram". so, whoever steals this next, you're welcome, not one but two good title ideas!

[–] Vytle@lemmy.world 21 points 10 months ago (1 children)

The "Gender Gas" joke has always bothered me for no reason other than because gas IS a fucking fluid.

[–] Comptero@lemmy.world 17 points 10 months ago

Both gender gas and gender liquid are gender fluid

[–] PapaStevesy@lemmy.world 17 points 10 months ago (2 children)
[–] A_Union_of_Kobolds@lemmy.world 8 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (2 children)

You're right, that should be "Gender Liquid" with "Gender Plasma" in the far unreadable section. Gas and liquid should be grouped as fluids - is plasma a fluid? I don't think so but I'm not a physicist

Goddammit

[–] porous_grey_matter@lemmy.ml 9 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

The top right corner is supercritical fluid, which is correct, it's not the same as plasma, which doesn't really fit neatly on a pressure/temperature phase diagram.

[–] Lv_InSaNe_vL@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Gas can behave like a fluid. Or rather, the two can behave similarly, but they aren't the same thing.

[–] PapaStevesy@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago (4 children)

They are though. "Fluidity" is not a discrete phase of matter, it's a characteristic certain phases of matter exhibit.

If you crush me, then reheat me to just below my melting point, then quench me back then crush me some more, my microgender structure gets stretched and tensed with smaller and smaller grains. I become harder and harder until my yield strength is equal to my ultimate strength. Deep down I'm still the same alloy but heat treated.

[–] Akasazh@feddit.nl 6 points 10 months ago (1 children)
[–] werefreeatlast@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

Thanks! I just like the feeling of the microcrystalline structure solving and re condensing with new orientation that prevent my gender planes from dislocating on all sorts of cleavage directions.

[–] sp3tr4l@lemmy.zip 12 points 10 months ago

Ok so... what exactly would the gender triple point be?

... A person at their first rave, first time doing molly or E?

[–] Donkter@lemmy.world 10 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Idk if you want to put yourself in the "gender critical" category.

[–] lugal@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 10 months ago

Not me for certain. Too much pressure and too hot

[–] Ziglin@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

But it's so colourful! It makes being gender fluid seem boring…

[–] A_Union_of_Kobolds@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

God I've been waiting to see a good version of this for years, thank you OP

Edit: goddammit it's all wrong

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 5 points 10 months ago

Be pansexual; it's a gas!

[–] ThePantser@sh.itjust.works 5 points 10 months ago

Looks like you cracked your phone screen.

[–] Chronic_Intermission@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Pressure: pushing down on me, Pressing down on you, no man ask for, Under pressure that burns a building down, Splits a family in two, Puts people on streets

[–] Sprawl@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

They say it gets hot between states.

[–] bss03@infosec.pub 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Are you saying that under enough social pressure anyone will revert to the gender binary? (j/k)

[–] thisfro@slrpnk.net 3 points 10 months ago

No, hot people will be supercritical
