I mean yeah we don't have to enjoy literally everything, I'm just a little burned out on talking about how every single thing sucks and liking anything is stupid. I own a Microsoft Surface Pro 2. I guess the people in these pictures suffer from the opposite problem (insufficient self-awareness w/r/t how "into" things they get) as do fandoms yeah (also they have poor hygiene, grooming, and exercise habits). Truth is in the middle etc etc etc

Snowglobe of Doom posted:Wait, there's a vetting procedure with these ThinkGeek Action photos? The ones that are getting posted in this thread are the ones that passed the approval process? This is what I was thinking. The best pictures are probably sitting in the "rejected" folder of some forgotten NAS, deep in the bowels of the ThinkGeek datacenter.

My favorite part of any nerd picture thread is the incidental look into the filth pile they live in, or their parents house, or both I guess

Robo Reagan posted:....alright i'll bite "The number π is a mathematical constant, the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter, commonly approximated as 3.14159. It has been represented by the Greek letter "π" since the mid-18th century, though it is also sometimes spelled out as "pi" (/paɪ/). Being an irrational number, π cannot be expressed exactly as a fraction (equivalently, its decimal representation never ends and never settles into a permanent repeating pattern). Still, fractions such as 22/7 and other rational numbers are commonly used to approximate π. The digits appear to be randomly distributed; however, to date, no proof of this has been discovered. Also, π is a transcendental number – a number that is not the root of any non-zero polynomial having rational coefficients. This transcendence of π implies that it is impossible to solve the ancient challenge of squaring the circle with a compass and straightedge." So I guess it's just a unique number/symbol that people latched onto, became popular due to nerd-herd mentatility, and the rest is history (a history of people eating pies in a pi shirt like EATING PIE IN MY PI SHIRT HAHAHAHA). e^ that guy summed it up more succinctly.

Haier posted:10 years ago exactly, where I lived (Hawaii) all of the high school emos with swoop hair would go to the mall and literally lay on each other and look depressed, half wearing those Naruto headbands. Naruto became synonymous with Emo culture, at least in Hawaii. It was a strange combination. Snake Bites, girl jeans, eye liner, Naruto merchandise. Sort of like that a bit, too, in the midwest. From what I remember about Naruto, wasn't a big part of the show a whole bunch of teens that everyone hates because they're different from normies but they're still better than everyone that hates them?

Seaniqua posted:let's see that pic I wish I still had it, but it disappeared years ago in a hard drive failure. Mrs. Genesplicer had ordered me one of their titanium sporks. I pointed out that titanium does a really cool color change when heated. She suggested I do that, and she would sent the picture in. I was wearing my welding stuff (mask, gloves and jacket) and hitting the spoon with an oxy-acetylene torch. I'm guessing it was too hard to see exactly what was going on (I put an after photo of the spoon in an inset), or they might be worried that other folks would try it without the requisite skill, harm themselves and sue the company. Panniculus Rift posted:i guess because his penis was showing Nope. I try to keep people from laughing at me. Being fully clothed helps out.

Thank God the the internet didn't exist in this form 30-35 some years ago. We'd be seeing ThinkGeek selling a bunch of.... Star Wars, Star Trek, LotR and Doctor Who stuff to people. (However, Mork would be more popular than Doctor Who, leading to a bunch of dressing up like Robin Williams and shoving their finger into beverages.)
