thought dump

a (tentative) collection of random thoughts and ideas because, frankly, my instagram spam followers probably have had enough. 

[theinternetisafacade]

Hi. A basic intro post.

The seed for a blog was sown about 30 minutes ago during a very boring lunch during which my brain held a very interesting discussion (nothing new) and my friends probably got enough of me using our chat as a thought dump. haha. so this shall serve me as my thought dump.

So who the hell am i? 

I wouldn’t know even if my life depended on it. 

But for the purposes of an introduction, I shall present myself as a one-dimensional person. 

Name: Jen (a pseudonym, for a false sense of security)

Age: unknown

Gender: Female

Sexuality: Bi, probably (this deserves a discussion on its own)

Nationality: Singapore

Languages: English, very poor Chinese

Personality based on various tests: INTP (mbti), 5w4 (enneagram)

Interests: programming, physics, science, procrastinating, doing stupid pointless things for fun and learning literally anything I can get my eyes on

Religion: Atheist, Ex-christian? (also deserves another discussion)

Diagnoses: ADHD, dysthymia (which sounds a lot cooler than mild persistent depression)

I probably should have arranged this alphabetically.

okay that’s it for now, adieu.

sometimes people try to tell me that scientists are paragons of rationality and I have to break it to them that I have yet to work in a lab that didn’t have at least one weird secret shrine in it

[6-phds-and-no-sense]

new guy: why is all of the equipment in this room covered in toys?

me: dONn’t touch those

new guy:

me: they need the toys to function. if they don’t all have toys they get jealous.

new guy:

new guy:

me: when something breaks just take the wizard and wave it around for a while. they seem to like that.

Science is rational, scientists are human.

In Taiwan we have a special brand of snacks named 乖乖 (literally means “well behaved” but in a casual way like when one’s compliment a child or a pet of being good) that has green package.

It has become the lucky charm in the IT industry because engineers believe it will make machine acting good (like the name of the snack) and stay in green light (like the color of the snack’s package) when a 乖乖 is put on top of a server.

It is the only food allowed in a server room and the biggest semicondoctor company in Taiwan (which is also the biggest worldwide) even commissioned the snack factory to make a customized version with blessing on the package.

This is how a server room is blessed by 乖乖. You put at least one on top of each server. It’s important that the engineers change them before the expire date because legend says the snack looses it’s power after expire date.

You’ll hear engineers swearing up and down that their server room crushed down the one time they forgot to change the snack.  Or some newbie ate the forbidden snack put on top of their server and caused a disastrous crush down.

The 乖乖 religion later spread to all people who want their machine to act nice. In the lab we put 乖乖 on ultra-low freezer (you really don’t want it to drop dead along with your 2 years’ worth of sample/data), mass spectrometer etc.

When Taiwan’s about to launch the first self made satellite in 2017, the develop team even put 乖乖 around the satellite model to prey for a successful launch (it did). This shit is real.

Broke: Humans are inherently good

Broke: Humans are inherently evil

Woke: Humans are, for good or evil, inherently ridiculous

@eabevella

Is the maker of the snack aware of it?

I find it interesting how for the launch some of the packaging is soace themed

[eabevella]

@benracer Yes and nice catch! The space themed package is a costume made limited version to celebrate the launch of Taiwan’s first  self developed  remote sensing satellite.

Limited version for Extra Good Boi blessing XD

i work on the 3d printers at my internship, and recently, one of my colleagues came back from taiwan with a bunch of 乖乖 snacks. we've stuck them on the 3d printer rack, hopefully the printers won't break down from now on :P

it says "3d printers be good don't break down // peacefully grow up"

The Call of Death

comes, sudden as a thief in the night.  an angel has taken flight, or so she says.  it feels like glass shattering a false façade of foolish hoping unheard prayers- what was the point of it all? I hang up, wishing we’d’ve never answered.

the problem with adhd is that having nothing to do makes you understimulated and depressed so you find things to do and then you get stressed and overwhelmed
