Science, tech, sci-fi, Mensa-caliber games... by the very same Bob Guccione who published Penthouse! Every issue had an in-depth interview with a prominent and interesting scientist, figures like Alan Guth or Luc Montagnier or Morris Berman. One issue was a little more off-beat, the interview was with an anthropologist, whose student life and career went like this: Attending the University Of Montana in Missoula, this student loved drinking every day, so he asked the question - "What's a relatively easy major with little math, that will interfere the least with my drinking?" - and landed on Anthropology. After graduation, the next question became - "What will I do my thesis about?" - a friend gave him the vague advice to do it on something he knew or was passionate about, and like a "eureka" moment, it hit him: "I'm gonna research drinking culture, bars!" And so, he became one of the rarefied few for whom drinking on the job was basically a requirement! permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] GratefullyGodless@lemmy.world 6 points 11 months ago (1 child) Omni! I remember being a teenager, and eagerly getting my subscription copy every month in the mail. In fact, i think i still have them in a box in the garage. I thought Omni was awesome, and that they did a good job of trying to make science more accessible to people.
