Yes officer, she touched my nuculus.

Noooooo my whole worldviewww

Nuculeuslear

😩

🥺

went further back lol

Latin: Nux - nut nuculus - diminutive of nut ("little nut")

Proto-Indo-European: kneu - nut

I can't find much on where the -culus suffix originated, which seams to be the the place we would want to look if trying to tie the pronunciation of nuclear to the earliest etymological root.

Yes, and therein lies the humor, the juxtaposition of opining in casual tone what feels implied by the speaker to be mundane and relatable but which is in fact extremely niche and specifically un-relatable.

I suspect they are hoping to get their hands on some radioactivity which will turn them into an animal-human hybrid.

Since a lot of Furries work in STEM, and Seattle has a ton of STEM folk, a furry that's flirting or making a nuclear innuendo joke has a much higher probability of happening in Seattle than most other places (except for maybe Portland).

Well its been a while since I've been, but the Unicorn hopefully still has deepfried Snickers, uh, going to the Wild Rose as a dude is always... an option, lets say... aw fuck, they cancelled taco tuesday, apparently... and one of the original owners passed this year =(

Yeah I guess I'm a bit past my bar cruising prime years.

More or less, just avoid anywhere flooded by college kids, and you'll probably find somewhere that matches your vibe.

Well, perhaps you could try a Jeopardy-like quiz/trivia game at one of them some time =P

Its a neighborhood of Seattle.

They famously historically LGBTQ+ neighborhood, that also has a lot of music venues, bars, nightlife, etc.

Its also where the uh CHAZ/CHOP momentarily existed, after Cap Hill got tired of being abuses by the local police force, barricaded/seiged them in their own Police HQ in the district, and forced them retreat from it entirely, in the dead of night, after literally burning a bunch of documents that would have proved they were knowingly breaking the law in their own 'riot control' actions, destroyed a bunch of their own computers too.

Anyway, I brought it up because the OP specifically mentions Seattle.

It was originally named 'Capitol Hill', because it was built with the idea that it would seat the actual Capitol of Washington state... but that ended up being built in a different city, Olympia... so... the name still persists, despite kind of being a misnomer / confusing.

Going off their other comments, the furry/tech population here, and their mention of specific bars, Seattle. Don't worry though, I'm in the same area/culture and still find it kinda weird to throw out a location like that.

To be fair to them, though, the op post does reek of capitol hill furries and techno queers being commonplace and pleasantly weird. So common, that even outside of that city, there are occasional furry bars and coffee shops and stuff. It's actually really nice.

Perfect for a nuclear engineer's control rod

What's stopping you from posting it exactly? You didn't like the thing that I posted. Be the change you want to see in the world.
