I can do a backflip and I can mimic most voices I hear. The mimicking is a special talent, according to my MH nurse. I used to have an almost photographic memory but recently I lost it, my memory is patchy now.
I noticed there is a preponderance of Arts and craft stuff here. I’d really love to know if there’s anyone doing more STEM type cool things.
or perhaps more athletics/performances type stuff?
don’t get me wrong I’m not trying to rain on anyone’s parade, but knitting sweaters and training dogs to do tricks, it’s all a bit provincial to be cool. Unless maybe the dog’s jumping through hoops of fire.
when I think of cool stuff I think of the guy who made a scanning electron microscope in his shed, or the girl I met at a music festival who did her art project recreating vintage porn with modern porn stars on recreated old film. She will forever be known as a girl who directed porn for her final year art project; whether you agree with it or not it’s certainly noteworthy. Or the guy I met who figured out how to hack local council message boards and use it to display the message ‘all glory to Hypno toad.’
how do we define cool anyway?
Until recently I was leading a team that has a novel design for a table top nuclear fusion device that has turned several tubes of deuterium gas into something else that we believe is a mix of mostly helium and some deuterium residue..
Peter said:Most people don’t even realise tabletop fusion is something that is theoretically achievable
I'm good at confusion.
Is that cool?
See that is very very cool. Most people don’t even realise tabletop fusion is something that is theoretically achievable for a hobbyist (it is provided you’re not expecting to get more energy out than you put in) it’s still an incredibly complicated feat and very impressive
