Can't be that powerful if they just like that got fired
Skillset too specialized. He'll never get another job in that field.
I'MA FIRIN' A mediocre employee
Well yeah, clearly because all this time he's been a massive fraud! He's clearly a tampon in disguise
F
I know he'll prove those guys wrong some day
- Laser is fired:
- Laser is fired in Japan: 😯😯😯😯😯😯
Sounds like it was a 2 petawatt pulsed laser, with picosecond pulses, so 2kJ/pulse. Staggering amount of power and energy for a pulsed laser!
Note that it's not CW, so the average power will be much, much, much less than the pulsed power. Too lazy to find the rep rate to see average power.
Supervillain origin story if I've ever heard one
The amount of cannons that have had to get in the unemployment line is stratospheric.
Lost it's job to AI
Artificial Illumination
Artificial Immolation
Gets angry and lies himself on top of a high powered sniper rifle
That's a pretty niche role, a position as part of the laser grid at a museum is much more steady
just look at the guy, all he wanted to do was an honest days lazing for an honest days pay, was that too much to ask
why are they so mean what did he do
He made someone look directly into his beam.
He wasn't very bright
poor guy we have to dismantle the deep state systems that allow this type of stuff to happen i dont know what its called
Lazing around
well that's not acceptable in this economy
He wasn't focused
poor guy how will he feed his children now
His son will be lighter next year
yes thats the bright side
It’ll be OK, look on the bright side!
Oh, so that's its supervillain moto!
(Phew, missing punchline fixed :) )
yea at least he wont have to pay taxes
The justification given was incoherent.
Automation took it's job.
this is so sad i will make a post on [email protected] raising awareness
https://lemmy.world/post/25273084 i hope we can get his job back
