Wait till they find out all their big trucks have transmissions.
Duke University lost NIH grants because they used the prefix "trans" in reference to disease transmission, transgenic genetic material, translational studies and signal transduction

Man, say what you will about truck culture, and I’ll probably agree, but I fuckin’ love truck nuts. I don’t know why, I don’t think it’s just immaturity because bodily humor isn’t usually my thing. But something about truck nuts makes me laugh.
I especially love that they trigger people enough that some places ban them.

Combustion motors are more trans than EV’s apparently.
TheRealKuni@lemmy.world 1 month ago
Most EVs have transmissions, they’re just usually single-speed. They have to adjust the RPM of the electric motor to a speed usable by the wheels.
Some have two-speed gearboxes, like the Porsche Taycan. This is needed because EV motors produce full torque at 0RPM and it stays there as the power increases, but eventually you reach a point where the power plateaus and the torque falls off. If you want more power at high speeds, you have to use a second gear.

This just in, Koeningsegg Regera sales up 10000% in red states!
(it doesn’t have a transmission) (an increase of 10000% over 0 is still 0)

There are probably a few Texans that could afford it, but probably appear have the Hennessy scam car instead.

I knew it! It’s been the trans mission all along to create big auto and make us a car centric society. It’s the trans fault! Come on Donny put a stop to the trans mission and ban all cars with a trans mission.

Also does a recent college intern hitting ctrl-f and delete over and over count as AI?

This is same boneheaded DOGE AI that will soon decide whether you should lose your voting rights, due process rights, or citizenship for belonging to the terrorist organization Antifa.
The actually smart AI is the one Palantir will be using to deanonymize all your posts on the internet and hand off the results to the first one.

Cis and trans are also very commonly used to describe bonds in chemistry. Cis bonds are both on the same side, trans bonds point in opposite directions (think trans-fats). That’s a rudimentary explanation but the point is cis and trans have been used in the sciences long before trans people were discussed.
So silly to lose grants over, even if the research was actually about cis and trans humans.
Revan343@lemmy.ca 1 month ago
‘cis’ being the opposite of ‘trans’ in regards to gender is literally borrowed from chemistry

They should remove the transmission from their cars, just weld the engine directly to a wheel, not efficiënt but it won’t turn the boys into girls.
Skydancer@pawb.social 1 month ago
No, they need to stop using transportation altogether. I’d love to see a trend of repugnicans cutting off their legs to “own the libs.”

dumbfucks are using regex improperly.
they’re using /.(trans)./ instead of /\s{1,}(trans)[- (sexual|[fe]male)]\s{1,}/
ShaggySnacks@lemmy.myserv.one 1 month ago
You are giving DOGE way too much credit for actual using code. DOGE most likely hit CRTL+F and typed in “Trans” and called it a day.

Yup. Seems that way.

Wonder how research on black maternal mortality is being treated.
Considering how many of the women that have died due to Dobbs have been women of color… if one was “pro life” the fact that black women being 3.5 times more likely to die in childbirth should be concerning.

SonOfAntenora@lemmy.world 1 month ago
It’s quite literally impossible to do any study in chemistry and biology, given the abundance if trans- and cis- molecules. This is the correct label to describe the spatial organisation of the molecule in the space it occupies (structure). If you do chemistry you must use these terms.

Whoever came up with that stupid word filter and decided to follow through on it without proper human review that the filter matched what they meant to find, is pretty trans-intelligent.

That’s how fucking stupid they who are enforcing this garbage are. Word processors have for decades allowed searching for “whole words only”, which would stop these words from being flagged. The tech exists, they’re just too stupid and lazy to implement it.

No it’s just stupid, Nazi Germany, Fascist Italy, and Imperial Japan were all fascistic and could be described as a cavalcade of idiots. A good example is Germany’s so called wonder weapons where the only one which was both effective and decently cheap was the V1 rocket, everything else was a waste of time and effort that if any other country did would’ve gotten someone shot.
