They said we don’t need toad doctors anymore, but I’m not so sure.

thesporkeffect ,

Is the doctor treating sick toads, or treating sick people using toads? Both? Maybe it’s just a pejorative and real toads aren’t involved all

RandomVideos ,

Its a toad using people to trat sick toads and humans

The polar opposite of the court jester, unless the two are in on the whole joke.

Thankfully, the subset of bronies in my experience who are also assholes is quite low.

Dont forget “computer”

AVincentInSpace ,

Hidden Figures should be required reading (required viewing?) for anyone in STEM

Assuming we’re taking about the Charles Babbage era computers, yes.

They were not. They were talking about a much more important part of history.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hidden_Figures_(book)

Babbage had some interesting ideas and produced one machine that was not especially useful. He didn’t even really understand the idea of software. That was Ada Lovelace.

NASA’s “computers” got us to the moon. They literally calculated Apollo 11’s trajectory. They saved the men on Apollo 13 by plotting their directory back home. All with paper and their superior knowledge of mathematics.

They were women and they were black, which is why they were mostly forgotten for many years and why you probably don’t know about them yourself.

I think this Fairly Odd Parents episode put it very clear.

With no more High Priestess the priest hunter could finally retire

No no, see, priests still exist, just not high priestesses.

Hmmm, when you get down to it, we look like the flying spaghetti monster. Guess we are made in his image.

If you’re a dude who hunts handsy priests using ninjitsu, I’d consider you a useful man…

Well fuck. I’m a useful man…

Looks like that’s useless :/

You were simply transformed into a handyperson.

bstix ,

It wasn’t the same as a handyman. The title “useful man” was for a servant who’d never actually serve the master.

Today it’d be a “runner” or some kind of “assistant to the assistant”

TIL, thanks.

Holy shit, is this why lowly assistants are colloquially called gophers?!? I never drew the connection. Sometime we just take weird words or phrases for granted without thinking about their etymology.
