His brother was probably being kind too. He probably said the 1940s equivalent of "Well fuck me sideways, I can't believe that shit actually worked!"

Collaboration: "Fuck.... Let's slap some duct tape on this and never speak of it again."

Only a few hundred times, but I've learned my lesson...!

To use git blame before calling out the moronity, or to not use git ?

When there’s finally a positive result: “Impossible! What did I do wrong?”

In the same vein, "Holy shit, that WORKED?"

The Most Exciting Phrase in Science Is Not ‘Eureka!’ But ‘That’s Odd!’

[-] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 9 points 2 months ago

“Huh.”, too

"Wait... THAT'S all the data we have?!?" (for data-driven experiments)

"We couldn't get any more subjects?" (for human subject experiments)

"Is it statistically significant?"

"FML this isn't publishable, is it?"

When I worked in research our lab staff spoke 10 different languages.

After a couple of years, everyone swore fluently in 10 languages.

That only needs a couple of nights at the pub, I'd think.

Mine is: fuck it, I'm going into industry. And then I don't.

I always liked what Charles Darwin wrote to J. D. Hooker in 1853:

After describing a set of forms, as distinct species, tearing up my M.S., & making them one species; tearing that up & making them separate, & then making them one again (which has happened to me) I have gnashed my teeth, cursed species, & asked what sin I had committed to be so punished [...]

It describes perfectly the feelings of a biologist while doing taxonomy work.

MY personal favorite:

"Oh! Fuck me, Christ!"

[-] Bishma@discuss.tchncs.de 8 points 2 months ago

Sometimes telling errors (and things I drop on the floor) to "go fuck yourself" is the most social interaction I have between stand-up and EOD.

The bottom left is in arse-ON mode.

[-] model_tar_gz@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

Fucking work for once you piece of fuck. Fuck this day. Fuck this shit. Fuck this degree. Fuck.
