I like this one because it works as absurdist humour if you don't know who jon bois is, and if you do know who jon bois is you get a little peek at his creative process

I have a lot of reptiles and keep my house warm in the winter for them, and even then I only keep it at 72 during the day. 80-82 is actually too warm for the cool side of the tank for a lot of species and would be unhealthy for them. Unless these people live in Florida or San Diego their power bills must be insane.

Though 82 at night would probably be fine for a bearded dragon, so this post does check out.

They could just live in a really poorly ventilated place. I had an ex who would put the temperature at 80+ during winter and below 50 during the summer. It got hot enough to ruin the beers I was brewing during both parts of the year but it was basically just throwing money down the drain in the cardboard shack we were living in. I didn't care for it but she'd convince me that she controlled the thermostat by either out earning me slightly and lording it over me or throwing beer bottles at me.

It wasn't a great time in my life.

I don't like killing a child's dream but when my daughter said she wanted to be a scientist, I loving corrected her and told her she wanted to be a (medical) doctor. Grad school is a pit of loving despair. Nothing good about anything in that scene. I'd have put those years to better use by being a loving junkie strung out on heroin.

Yeah, It’s super cool to kill her dreams of an achievable bachelors-only career and whip her rear end into a masters-necessary career. Oh wait, you wanted her to be an MD? drat, you sure saved her a lot of trouble.

Bachelors-only scientist is a broke rear end job that earns no money. If that's your goal, skip ahead and just work at In-and-Out.

As a medical student, lol at telling your daughter to pick a career that takes years to get off the ground and will make her three times more likely to commit suicide compared to her same-age peers.

Like, you do know that medical school is grad school, right?

yeah but after that you get into residency, which - since it's working in a hospital with a bunch of doctors - is by definition fantastic for your health

"scientist" is a ridiculously broad description that's hard to make generalizations about

if you're talking specifically about academic research careers then yeah those are usually pretty poo poo. not an expert though, so there are probably exceptions there too. but there are plenty of 4 year science degrees that are in demand

Mr. Lobe

... Dry bones...


I did 8 years of toiling in post-bacchelor academic work poverty, never making it into a satisfying PhD program, but somehow I ended up falling rear end backwards into a "deece six figgies" job doing something interesting in the private sector because my old supervisors liked me and recommended me to a R and D guy who came asking to collaborate with then. And my undergraduate major was psychology.

Granted, I've been doing neuroscience things since, but even so, don't underestimate what pluck and luck can do with just about any degree. Even when I was poor, I was living in San Diego, Seattle, and then Germany.

When I was in first or second grade we had to make and paint little houses out of wood scraps for a model of our town, and part of the assignment was to draw a floor plan on graph paper. Being the creative and ambitious little ADHD-haver that I was, I asked for graph paper with smaller divisions on it (the paper they originally provided had lines every inch) and made an elaborate house with three different science labs, for different kinds of science, and a "flag room," which would have the flags of every nation in the world, which I would salute each day. The teacher rejected my floor plan because she didn't like me saluting non-American flags, and out of "environmental concerns" for me having science labs. We had recently been on a field trip to a local river and she was asking me how I would feel about chemicals leaking into the groundwater from my labs. I modified my floor plan with a note that below the house was alternating layers of impermeable clay and metal sheets to prevent any chance of contamination, but that just made the teacher angrier.

In summation, more kids should be encouraged to become mad scientists.
