am I the only science fact geek out there?

Post Reply New Topic

I can spend literally all day on (or off) my computer (except for when I go to the bathroom/ eat/ etc) researching biology, astronomy and many other fields of study. And I love talking about science so much that I will literally work out large issues in my head for up to an hour at a time. I am into raccoons, they are so ADORABLE!! !! and would literally spend so much time researching them that I actually published a 25 page book based on my research. I am hoping to make it longer sometime later.

But I feel like I am one of the only one here who does not talk about technology... I am mostly interested in geology, biology, and astronomy. Outside of a few other issues, everything else bores me. my own subject can bore me if it is being taught in school, but I hate school, so... and its hard for me to concentrate on someone elses time.

But am I the only person out there who is VERY addicted to biology, geology, and astronomy?


(I want to start recording it when I talk to myself, than I can write it down and publish it...)

If you want to talk about science and technology, then you've come to the WrongWebsite.

Folks around here would rather discuss ghosts, gods, psychics, and all manner of other myths and fantasies.

I've recently become addicted to neuroscience and psychology.

Fnord it does seem that way doesn't it? Maybe we can sue this as a start of a science conversation? Query, does sci fi count as well? I like hard sci-fi like "Inconstant moon" not the soft crap that's really just fantasy with lasers.

Here's a topic, if science does in the near future manage to get good DNA from these mammoths that are being found in the permafrost, should we "resurrect" mammoths? If so, in zoos or the wild? I'd love to see some of the ice age critters back around.

you're in the right place.

There are people like you

I like science, and dont care for technology except as means to an end.

Love to read and talk about fossils, astronomy, anthropology, and the like.

But I dont know linux from a hole in the ground.

Raccoons are adorable.
Part of their charm, I think, is because they resemble us 30 million years ago when we were lemurs. They are intelligent and have human like hands (though they still have claws instead of flat fingernails).

When we drive ourselves to extenction from thermonuclear war it will be the raccoons who will take our place as the lords of the planet!

I thought people with aspergers were much into science, not ghost-busters... Thats what I heard anyways...

Huh! Well maybe true but it seems that a lot of the people on WP do not reflect the majority of Aspies, many are young and seem into fringie stuff like the occult, ghosts, alien abductions, conspiracies and so on. I'm pretty science and tech oriented although I do like sci fi, fantasy and so on. I just don't think it’s real.

I'm into biology of forests and coastal marine. Plant ID, uses, insects, plant disease, anything wild and edible.

I've had several run ins with raccoons climbing trees. Mostly just trying to get around there poop in the crotches of trees trying not to get any on me. Sometimes I'll inadvertantly chase them up the tree. A lot of times they seem groggy, or mellow, like I woke them up. I've only had one hiss at me and I pushed him out of the tree with a pull hook. He fell 30 feet and hit the ground running.

I'm into electronics, computers, and software. I also like astronomy and games - Traveller being my favorite.

awwww! Poor raccoon!! !

Bring em back, but only in zoos, the permafrost probably won't be around for long for them to enjoy it...

We might not need a whole genome from a dead mammoth, we could just reprogram an existing close relative, like this:

To OP.

No, you are not.
