        I mean we all know this, but if he wants his "brand" to be "Mr. Nerd Shit" why tf does he miss such obvious Ws?

        You may not realize this, but the twitter money still exists. The former owners of twitter have it under their mattress right now, why don’t they build a supercollider?

          I agree, those dicks definitely could be doing better with their money and we should take it away from them for societally useful things.

    Budget: Military Complex > CERN

    Long term value to citizens: CERN > Miltary Complex

    All historical CERN expenses combined are a tiny fraction of the yearly expenses of the combined EU miltary

    Mfw this pipe dream costs 22 billion and we just gave Israel 105 billion to keep genociding

    Remember when people were worried about these killing us all by creating a black hole that swallows the Earth?

    Can this one just hurry up and do that please?

    Imagine if only 1/10 of all countries GDP gouvernement spending went to scientists and the patent bullshit didn't exist ? We'd be mining asteroids and sipping coffee on Mars.

        I like to analyze art ( usually alone and in my mind ) so bear with me. His art is Very interesting but it's always big robot/drone/ megalithique structures in an open field. While I can totally imagine a big robotic mascots rotting away for months after a malfunction, his work more akin to the 50s view of what the future would be but with modern lenses/tech than a plausible future . In the steel vs digital war, the digital won and his work doesn't show any of it.

    How about one that goes around the circumference of the Earth? That would be boss.

    Sorry bro, we spent the 22 billion on the genocide budget.

    STOP ACCELERATING PARTICLES! Years of research and no use found for particles any smaller than SAND!

      But look how fast we can make those little fuckers go!

      It's just like slot car racing, round and round, but.... you know.... faster. And yeah, it's more expensive than a regular slot car track, I guess. But still, those particles will beat any slot car you care to pick! So there's that. Welllll not those fancy slot cars with them high performance motors, I mean, that's a completely different ballgame there, we can't compete with that.

      But still, those particles whizzing around, it's gonna be pretty cool. I reckon we should do it.

      So anyway, thank you for reading my financial proposal for the SuperLHC.

    I agree, this is a shame.

    We should build an even bigger one.

    The transmutation circle is massive this time. We can't fail the French-Swiss genocide.

    (Btw I've worked on the Atlas project on the LHC, projects are always delayed)

    I am waiting for the day when the biggest collider first run is going to explode this planet and then earth is going to become itself a particle.
