did the men and females community make it over to lemmy yet

I've never seen the English word for "manganese" and thought it was some "manga" pun, like anime.

It's kind of silly, too. The German word is even closer ("Mangan"), but I never realized the similarity.

Yes, but some genders can only exist in strict laboratory settings and often for only a very brief moment.

Aside, I like the implication that when things get hot and melty, though, folks end up being gender fluid.

Yeah, but it's the gender gas and gender plasma you really have to watch out for!

The most interesting behaviour happens at the gender triple point. And don't get me started on Bose-Einstein condengender!

*118 verified possible genders

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago

But a lot vanish before they are observed.

I wanna pre-emptively name one that hasn't been discovered yet "bolognium."

Some believe in a possible island of gender stability above 180.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 months ago

Not including exotic ~~atoms~~ genders like positronium

Triangles are masculine, obviously.

Kiki moment

This looks extremely familiar... do all universities do this?

Why not “Ma” for “male”? Why is the women’s bathroom the “female bathroom” and the men’s is just “man” or “men” or whatever??

Men and Femen

Why not “Ma” for “male”?

Because then it's the restroom for your mom.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 7 months ago

Good point. It would have to be much larger.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Maybe it isnt in an english speaking country, and makes sense in another language?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Good point. It’s weird how Fe is so close to the English word Female tho

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 months ago

Might be because of Latin root...

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Imagine the conspiracy theories if they use the first letters of each sex "Fe" "Ma"

They wind up with a humanitarian aid camp.

Yooo anyone got the phone number for the big lady on the left? :3

Why didn't they just use tungsten instead of iron?

[–] [email protected] 28 points 7 months ago

There are only two genders: ferrous or non-ferrous.
