His brother was probably being kind too. He probably said the 1940s equivalent of "Well fuck me sideways, I can't believe that shit actually worked!"

Only a few hundred times, but I've learned my lesson...!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago (2 children)

but I’ve learned my lesson

To use git blame before calling out the moronity, or to not use git ?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

Yes.

When there’s finally a positive result: “Impossible! What did I do wrong?”

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 months ago

In the same vein, "Holy shit, that WORKED?"

The Most Exciting Phrase in Science Is Not ‘Eureka!’ But ‘That’s Odd!’

“Huh.”, too

When I worked in research our lab staff spoke 10 different languages.

After a couple of years, everyone swore fluently in 10 languages.

That only needs a couple of nights at the pub, I'd think.

"Wait... THAT'S all the data we have?!?" (for data-driven experiments)

"We couldn't get any more subjects?" (for human subject experiments)

"Is it statistically significant?"

"FML this isn't publishable, is it?"

Mine is: fuck it, I'm going into industry. And then I don't.

I always liked what Charles Darwin wrote to J. D. Hooker in 1853:

After describing a set of forms, as distinct species, tearing up my M.S., & making them one species; tearing that up & making them separate, & then making them one again (which has happened to me) I have gnashed my teeth, cursed species, & asked what sin I had committed to be so punished [...]

It describes perfectly the feelings of a biologist while doing taxonomy work.

MY personal favorite:

Sometimes telling errors (and things I drop on the floor) to "go fuck yourself" is the most social interaction I have between stand-up and EOD.

God fucking damnit what fucking fuck of a fuck touched my shit again!?

I think they more commonly say, "what is wrong with my advisor and why did I choose grad school?"
