Has anyone actually read any of those books?
I feel like pretty much everyone who reads them is only doing so out of spite. I don’t think anyone has ever really wanted to read Fahrenheit 451.
camelbeard@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I read 1984 and really enjoyed it, I’m not sure enjoyed is the right word, as it was also pretty sad. I can highly recommend the book.
FreeAZ@sopuli.xyz 1 year ago
I’ve read most of them and they’re mostly great, only one I read I didn’t really like was Catcher in the Rye. Fahrenheit 451 is a classic, I’ve read it of my own free will.
No offense dude but you kind of just sound like a teenager going “reading is dumb”.
Zerush@lemmy.ml 1 year ago
I saw also the movie, also a movie with similar content, Equilibrium. 451ºF is the temperatur when Paper begins to burn.
hperrin@lemmy.ca 1 year ago
This just in, no one has ever seen lightning, and if you say you have, we’ll have to burn you at the stake to protect the children.

Found a site with some more fun excerpts:
Zink@programming.dev 1 year ago
Fun excerpts and a fun article about them too!
These fuckers saw a child win at tag by saying they had a force field and based an entire field of study around it.

This is for real? How is it even legal?

Used to live across the street from a Freewill Baptist Church.
Always curious about other beings mindsets, went and attended a service.
Walked through the main door and felt the trope of crickets chirping. No one greeted me, said hello, welcome, nothing. I was stared at but never acknowledged.
The service was strictly talking. No hyms or singing.
The sermon told me they are creationists that believe “Singing and dancing lead to temptation”.
Point is their “educational materials” were horrifying. Mostly just fear mongering and advising self segregation from reality.
dependencyinjection@discuss.tchncs.de 1 year ago
You called other people beings and that feels odd to me for some reason.
Stonewyvvern@lemmy.world 1 year ago
It’s just an acknowledgement that I’m not the only being in the universe who has feelings and thoughts.
prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 year ago
How full was the church?
Stonewyvvern@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Chapel was about a third full. 10 pews on each side, with a maximum of 15 butts per pew…
20x15-33.34%=
100ish in attendance…
didn’t take a census, so I’m relying on a 17 year old memory.
Geodad@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Lightning comes from Zeus and Thor. Obviously. /s
DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 1 year ago
Obviously /s because Perun is the god of lightning and thunder
leftzero@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 year ago
Thor’s the god of thunder, not lightning.
Geodad@lemmy.world 1 year ago
That’s a bit more pedantic than the old Norse were.
TankovayaDiviziya@lemmy.world 1 year ago
My Catholic school is more grounded to reality than this.
Klear@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Grounded? That sounds like electricity talk, or should I say WITCHCRAFT?!
Hadriscus@jlai.lu 1 year ago
If it’s grounded then there should be no safety risk

Electricity is the flow of electrons, (negative charge,) caused by one substance gaining electrons, and one substance losing electrons in a redox reaction. The thing that is oxidized loses electrons, and the substance that is reduced gains electrons. Oxidation is visible in nature via Rust. Water and oxygen gain electrons that are lost by the pure iron creating an iron oxide that is reddish brown. (Batteries have a + and - sign, hooking them up into a loop with a device creates the electricity that powers the device. Everyday batteries utilize zinc and a magnese oxide, but there are many other types of materials that are used in other types of batteries.) 25 years of this Christian faith homeschool bullshit; pretty clear why these dipshits voted trump.
prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 year ago
Ehhh… That doesn’t sound right. And we gotta teach both sides.
Zerush@lemmy.ml 1 year ago
It’s not needed to explain electricity here, but needed to ban the Bible and religious faith from science and academic books in the US, because the US has too much (weapon) power in the world to let it in the hands of stupid and ignorant creationist people. 50% of cientifics in the US are foreigners and with the Trump policy and cuts of supports, a lot of these are leaving the US (4.000 from the NASA)-
psud@aussie.zone 1 year ago
That’s electricity by chemistry. Electricity by physics is done by moving a magnet relative to a wire, for example as the alternator in a car does
Washedupcynic@lemmy.ca 1 year ago
Yeah, can you tell I went to school for chemistry? I hadn’t even thought about electromagnets or explaining circuits, capacitors and V = IR.

I’m curious what they think a lightning strike is.
SeptugenarianSenate@leminal.space 1 year ago
god playing craps with the lizard king, who is always below the earths crust right at the moment when lightning is striking the ground.
ShaggySnacks@lemmy.myserv.one 1 year ago
Fuck listening to science about how “Lightning is a natural phenomenon consisting of electrostatic discharges occurring through the atmosphere between two electrically charged regions. One or both regions are within the atmosphere, with the second region sometimes occurring on the ground. Following the lightning, the regions become partially or wholly electrically neutralized.”
This sounds so much better. What reminds when either one of them roll snake eyes?
multifariace@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Why is there a 4th book? The way this book teaches, they don’t even need a class.
Zerush@lemmy.ml 1 year ago
They have several tomes more, in the 4th Science there are totak 3 formulas (Area, Volumen, Speed of light) but 32 Bibel quotes. No more needed to make Anerica great again.
thatradomguy@lemmy.world 1 year ago
And they think we’re the brainwashed ones. lmao

Fancy believing in electrons.

I have seen electric, it’s blue and I have even felt it, it hurts. Also I know where it comes from, it comes from the walls, there’s an electric sockets for it.

You know, back in time before the dark ages, Christianity was very scientific. Science was a tool that god gave to humans to understand the world they live in.
And now it’s scawwy

omg it’s real? 🤣
bridgeenjoyer@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
I know people in my day to day who dont belive the earth is more than 2k years old, who believe there were never “cavemen”, and dinosaurs weren’t real. Baffling. This person is rich and has a ton of land. Education dont mean shit in freedom land.

The cultist Sintist demand you belive thier particle-wave duality while denouncing the Holy Trinity.
sp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 year ago
Replace ‘electricity’ with ‘wind’ and/or ‘moving air’ and/or ‘breath’, and now you understand what Proto-Judaic Canaanites circa 800 BCE thought ‘spirit’ was.

We have caught the electricity monster into a circuit and now we need to keep it in a loop.
Sergio@lemmy.world 1 year ago
The electricity monster was caught by Jesus! Why do you think electric poles are all crosses?

Oh my god, energy travels via divine intervention. This is a miracle!

That’s how MRIs work! Superconducting electromagnets.
You see, the electricity monster will lend us its magical “X-ray vision” that doesn’t actually use ionizing radiation like x-rays.
SonOfAntenora@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I know this screeshot is as old as the internet because of that toilet. Still embarassing.
Zerush@lemmy.ml 1 year ago
In creaciontist Schoolbooks Earth is already 6000 Years old, there is nothing which has changed. For creacionists, all answer is in the Bible, not in science facts
SonOfAntenora@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Creationism is pretty much rooted in religious fundamentalism, ofc it requires an act of absolute faith against clear evidences. Faith based learning is its defining feature.
dream_weasel@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
Bro it’s got to be like 6025 years old by now.

De-energize an electrical panel, remove the panel covers, energize it and let them fuck around and find out.

As a sub-par professional electrician, i have definitely felt electricity.

So where does that put people who have been electrified? Did they simply die of terror because they thought they had grasped a live wire?

AusatKeyboardPremi@lemmy.world 1 year ago
A textbook would lose most of its credibility in my opinion with a title like “____ 4 ____”.
The fact that it contains such wonderful takes on electricity is just icing on the cake.
