Oceanography is boring....
>>53
Indeed it is. So are most sciences about nonliving processes. You want an interesting science, take a few courses in the biological sciences: anything from genetics to microbiology to embryology... The list goes on and on.

I would like to note for everyone that I personally instructed all moderators to never look at anyone's IP for any reason other than to administer a ban. I think EVERYONE does what you describe at some time or another. So don't worry and keep replying to your own posts!
>>54
Physics is the most interesting science and it's all about nonliving processes.
I have two exams tomorrow. I'm going to bed. I'm that cool.
NUCLEUS WAS HERE, PROTON IS A FAGGOT
Shhh it is a secret
How does one post silence?
>>59
I suppose it's all about what branch you're studying, and personal opinion. For example, traditional physics never held much interest for me, but quantum physics was relatively interesting, though I always preferred certain branches of biology.
>>64
Dozens of moderators are needed to keep this rowdy board in check.
>>54
Thank you for the sage advice VIPPER, but you see, I am a marine biology major, so this is a fact I learned many moons and lolis ago.
>>71
So while physicists around the world work to create a perfect view of the universe, you're studying the way a platypus poops?
Yes and no. You see biologists like me and >>71 and >>73 are studying not only how a platypus poops, but also how the poop affects the platypus, other animals, it's habitat, other ecosystems, the world over, and ultimately us, as well as providing valuable, confirmable insight into how our OWN pooping habits evolved and thereby answering the question "how, why, and where did we come from" just a little bit more. We're also learning WHY the platypus poops and how to keep it pooping because me, >>71, and >>73 are good people who CARE about STUFF that ACTUALLY HAPPENS instead of sprouting the "well, we THINK this is what happens and that this why the universe is the way it is cause we've done THEORETICAL experiments with MATHS in our MINDS but we're not really sure and even if we're right it doesn't really change anything and right now we can't really do anything with it except for maybe improve transportation, so." stuff my friends always give me.
So enjoy your many-worlds interpretation or whatever it is you physicists sit around and think about, >>75. Me and >>73 and >>71 will be in Australia, discovering that there are too many platypus poopin' in the river and that it's poisoning the little children, the land, the other animals, and indeed the mighty platypus itself. We'll also come up with a plan to fix that and save everyone, probably discovering a way to make platypus poop boots that are a thousand times stronger, cheaper, and more durable than regular boots along the way.

As for me, my area of study--

CAN YOU FIND THE QUALITY?
I couldn't, vipper-san
Another day, another chance to be VIP
Man, this thread is fast.
I'm writing this from INSIDE VIDEOGAMES in the Steam browser! i'm heartily enjoying blaring shotgun blasts as I careen into a bank full of zombies while listening to VIPSTAR+.MP3! it's so fun and i can't ever see myself playing any other way.
I've been thinking about Lot's wife in that Sodom and Gomorrah story in the Bible. God says don't look back and she looks back and he turns her into a pillar of salt. Being God, he could have just given her an aneurysm or a heart attack or spontaneously combusted her or struck her with lightening or any number of various things, but he (I guess, the text just says pillar of salt) transmuted her body into a more or less equal volume of the stuff which settled into a nice pile. What does that even mean? I can't find any mention of taboo about salt in the Bible, I guess it would have been a reasonably valuable commodity used to cure meat, but I have no idea what causing someone to become a large quantity of it could possibly indicate to the Jewish person of the time. Was it just a didactic story about the arbitrary nature of God which ought to be feared?
If the "-rrhea" in diarrhea and gonorrhea is the same meaning, and the "dia-" in the first is for liquid poop, what is "gono-" for?
I am leaving SAOVQ
I bought 10 "kimchi bowl soups". They're the best, like everything that's Corean.
Today is a deadline
>>90
Think of it, too much salt can put out a fire and too much salt won't burn. Those cities were torched good. So instead of burning her like the rest, maybe the salt is supposed to represent that He wanted to spare her? Even in punishment, she was spared opposed to being burnt alive?
>>99
I have a deadline Tuesday, Mock Trial competition. Have to churn out a closing argument and a cross examination.
._.
Whenever I have an obscure, Internet-related thought, I think to come here to share it. Like,
I haven't told anyone "to get online" (as in Instant Messenger) in a long, long time. I don't think anyone says that anymore.
>>104
When I mean I talked about something on IRC, I'll say "we discussed it on the internet". Because no one understands anything outside the web anymore.
>>104
Yes that was always the phrase used.
"Jimmy, get on aim."
"Jimmy, get online."
You would actually CALL Jimmy to get him to come online too.
I'm in debt
>>108
I hate owing people money, so I never really borrow.
Because of that, I don't have a credit rating and am forever screwed if I ever wanted a loan. +｡(´∀｀＊)+｡
LAZY SUNDAY
I have a final-grade exam in two days. I gonna study tomorrow. Oh wait I won't because I don't have to write it because I got 49/50 in the lab wwwwwwwww.
sageru kudasai~
>>114
But then I wouldn't be bumping this thread every time I visit for the FIRST TIME today.
Still a NEET.
There's some sort of sporting event today apparently, I do wish those ruffians next door would pipe down.
>>117
The taqueria filled up five minutes after my friend got a call that some team won.
>>112
I have a paper to finish that was actually due last Friday, but my teacher doesn't care too much about due dates so I'll just finish it some other time.
Off to fold paper cranes now~
Hello,
I am VIPPER,
goodbye.
I stopped coming here for awhile because it reminded me of someone.
>>121
Hey, I have the same problem, things reminding me of people long lost. Let's drink to that.
They're sharing a drink they call loneliness, but it's better than drinking aloooone.
If there is one thing I'm having problems with, it's the inability to come up with e-mail topics.
>>125
Yeah, that can be hard sometimes, but since I only have one person that I e-mail on a regular basis I rarely have that problem.
>>125
I wonder if my brother thinks I've died simply because I have no idea how to respond.
Posting with a cheeseburger!
>>129
I was just eating some Doritos. I haven't bought a bag of chips in 8 months.
Post deleted by user is cool.
I think I'm about ready to break down (or man up?) and buy a schoolgirl uniform... I was thinking of a God (Haruhi) one... Which I would then wear while jacking off... Thoughts?
Post deleted, life forsaken, destinies interchange.
Cheesing with a postburger!
I have failed, VIPPERS. I got 4/5 today. I am sorry.
But fear not, I'm not gonna let this slide! I'm going to take the exam again and do what I am to do.
I'm currently not listening to VIP-QUALITY music.
>>137
Unfortunately Pandora does not understand the concept of VIP quality music, so I too am without.
for now.
Lustig, lustig, tralalalalaa~
>>138
We should have a letter writing campaign to convince them to add VIP QUALITY to their quality matching thing.
Hi VIPPERs I am another EXPERT MATH VIPPER and I have a CALCULUS examination tomorrow. I have not paid attention for the past month. Is volume pretty simple?
Someone anyone help
I can't
Goddamnit, where are you?!
I have visited once today and today is that one day that I have visited once.
One visit is much like the other
>>149
Depends on how often you visit. If you visit daily you will find that yes, one visit is very much like another, simply because things haven't had time to change. But if you visit weekly or monthly, things will have had more time to change so things will have changed more. It's kind of like evolution: if you mark every generation you won't see anything, but if you only mark every million years you will see the evolution progressing.
