I would beg to differ:

Semiconductors work by having electrical conductivity that can be controlled and modified, allowing them to act as either conductors or insulators depending on conditions. This is achieved through a process called doping, where impurities are added to the semiconductor material, creating regions that can conduct electricity more easily.

    TIL I am probably a North American river otter.

    Shortly after this picture was taken, the subject was quoted as saying

    I think you have mistaken me for someone who builds a dam

    and most humans are unaware of how to fish, and catch oysters with their bare hands.

    I mean, you know why you need all these security to go into a Fab? To hide the fact that all of our chips are secretly built by otters. Indeed, human have lost the expertise to build computer chips in 1860 (Ask any one from 1860 how to build a computer chip! They will not tell you A THING! And NOT a coincident!) The deep state and Joe Biden have secretly transfered all the chip building knowledge into otters that worship them as gods.

    This is why Biden passed the CHIP act, and why the deep state built a shell company TSMC all the way across the world to hide the fact from the 'MURICA PEOPLE.

    BTW, they also invented the oil company Shell, so that they can have shell companies.

    This is a bit of a misnomer. While North American River otters have zero knowledge on field-effect devices, they have a good grasp of junction devices such as transistors. It would not be surprising to anyone that knows otters that they can be bi-polar.

    How much trouble would the human race be in if they figured it out?

    Am i sad because I'm empathizing with a North American River Otter who looks sad or am i sad because the North American River Otter is probably unaware of how semiconductors work? Either easy North American River Otter deserves better.

    TIL I quite likely have something in common with a river otter.

    The look of cluelessness on his little furry otter face really sends it home for me.

    That's why the world is falling apart. Otters would rather build dams instead of attending college and it shows

    They will be overly excited when they find out. The termination loss afterwards will be very sad.
