Deoxyribonucleic acid, for anyone wondering
Deoxyribo&ucleic acid, for anyone sophisticated
Deoxyriboanducleic acid, according to Shadow Radar.
Ucleic acid
New band name or refreshing treat?
Nobody decides
Well… deoxyribo and acid. The whole “n” is gone
Yeah we don’t use the N word anymore.
Well, I’m pretty sure bacteria and others aren’t thrilled by the blatant and offensive pro-prokaryote bias on that name.
God safe us
Wouldn’t it be Deoxyriboandacid?
Sometimes I take an andacid when my stomach hurts.
More acid ought to do the trick
Ah yes, cue Monocle’d Pooh!
I have this acronym finder as a search engine shortcut in vomnibar. It never has what I’m looking for:
Department(al) Network Administrator Datanetwork Associates (Software) Does Not Apply
Did someone tell these vomnibar people that their name sounds like vomitbar
Or DRNA to anyone in the know.
I get mad every time I think about it that we don’t call it DRNA
Dicks n ass, for anyone wondering. It’s the male version of tna.
Sure that first one is plural?
It’s a gay term, and when gay men have sex, there is usually more than one dick. It’s a play on TNA, which is plural too.
There is a gay magazine called DNA, a play on the fact that it may be genetic. we all know what they really mean.
But, sure, in a straight monogamous relationship, there may be a singular. Broaden your mind to other possibilities.
Um ok… Then why is ass singular?
All asses are actually the same ass, travelling forward and backward through time.
It’s a collective noun
I think you mean deoxyribo and acid.
Should we point out that in this context it’s ‘save’, not ‘safe’? If you’re going to correct someone’s spelling, make sure your own is impeccable.
you’re*
Lol. Wrong.
You’re* wrong.
Youeu’re*

Nah. It’s engagement bait, plane and simple
It works too well… plain and simple.
That missing period had better also have been intentional.
But how can you be sertain?
That’s the neet part. You can’t

Sayes the blind man.
Who pict up a hammer and saw.
Because hammer and siecle was taken
Says the fuck you guy.

The fact that that’s a thing is why I don’t use the more mainstream social media. Only Lemmy.
Its another classic case of Muphry’s Law.
Don’t you meen Murphy’s Law?
MUUUURPH!
Sure out to getcha!
Science jargon has always sounded so impressive until I took anatomy.
for example, the big hole in the bottom of your skull (where the spinal chord passes through) is called the “foramen magnum” which is Latin for ‘big hole’.
I recently learned that mastodon (the animal) literally means breast tooth, because some thought their teeth (or tusks?) looked, well, breasty?
Get this. You have a structure in your brain called the “mammillary bodies”. It’s because it looks like a pair of tits.
Is it jargon or just a different language
Scientists use one to pretend the other
You gotta mix Greek and Latin to make it sound
cool.Unlike the cowards who hide their stupid names with latin, computer scientists will straight up call something a ‘fat pointer’.

My favorite part of the atom is the &uclease
Hi, my name is Timmy Atom and this is my pet electron, &uckease.
I think i'm having a stroke, because I have no fucking idea what's going on here
I accidentally uploaded the wrong post and then replaced it within a few seconds. Sometimes that doesn’t always federate right, so if you’re seeing one about a funny guy on LinkedIn and not this, that could explain it:

“Desoxyriboandnukleicacid”
Just like in TNA, I reckon. Stay in school.
Yes, just like that volatile T&T that likes to go boom.

Desoxyribose & Acid
Name a more iconic duo, I’m waiting
deoxyribose & acid
In German it’s “Desoxyribonukleinsäure”. I never realized English doesn’t have the “s”
Which one
The first one. I knew Säure is acid
It gets worse. Desoxyephedrine and deoxyephedrine are two completely different substances. Ones methamphetamine and the other is natural and as drugs they act very differently.
Does sound like some kind of duo.
Comedy duo maybe?
Psych Hop, aka Psychedelic Hip Hop… is that even a thing?

That’s South Africa, you can’t expect that much from a 30% pass mark.
South Africa is a region composed of several countries and eleven non-english languages. You’re going to judge them based on a word Americans misspell??
South Africa is a country, or did you mean counties? They’re called provinces there. Despite the 11 official languages, the primary language is English, it’s considered an English speaking country.
DNA is AND when you reverse it.
And?
Yes.
Wait, I think we’re improvising wrong.

After saving I’d like a quickload. Did too much bad shit
I’m impressed by how much Cunningham’s Law is in the comments. I can’t tell if they don’t get the joke, or if the joke is too deep and I’m the one missing it.
Today I learned :
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ward_Cunningham#Cunningha…
Cunningham is credited with the idea: “The best way to get the right answer on the Internet is not to ask a question; it’s to post the wrong answer.”
Yo Shadow Raiders was a sick show
Anyone else ever heard someone refer to it as “Denna”? I did once and I just let it go. I wanted to see if it catches on in the wild.
What about denna?
Pretty sure it’s Dinosaurs, Nucleaics & Acid.
I thought it was the three branches of science? Dinosaurs, Nukes and Aerodynamics?
“God safe us” - irony right there especially when critical of someone else’s use of an acronym perhaps one’s own grasp of the English language should be a little better!!!
God save us ….
Whoooosh
The amount of grammatical mistakes in your own comment is pretty ironic as well.
Muphry’s Law strikes again.
Excuse me, it’s Muphry’s Theory. It hasn’t been proven enough to be a scientific law.
😆👌 fair enough
I’m sure this comment can’t go wromg.
I dont believe in Muphies Theory cause uts just a theory. I’ve done my own research and u ahoukd to.
Hehe I remember Muphies. That Kermit always got up to shenanigans!
Menzies’es Pretty Solid Hunch

Well then use this as a teaching moment and elaborate then?
I live in a country that uses the King’s English, not the American version so please enlighten me - I do enjoy learning.
But don’t say there are an amount of errors without even trying to quantify them….given the burden of proof rests with you.
Fair enough, let’s have at it, Mr. “King’s English”. (God, do you even hear how insufferably pretentious that sounds?)
Let’s start with the original comment. My edits in [brackets].
Next comment!
Did you learn something?
Isn’t the first mistake simply him using the sentence to declare there is irony? How is that an incomplete sentence?
Could you clarify? Do you mean to say it’s incomplete or actually complete?
I meant to say that part is already a complete sentence.
Now, I’m not as much of a grammar nerd as I’d like to be, but from what I understand, “irony right there” isn’t a complete sentence, or barely even a complete clause. It’s just a few words that should be part of a clause.
Maybe someone could fill in the grammatical details here, or prove me wrong.
I guess if he wrote “That’s irony right there”, it would be easier to consider it a complete sentence, so maybe you’re right.
Yes – exactly! I think that’s actually the missing part here: “That’s”. It makes the following thing they say sound much more complete. 👍 Thank you!
That clause was fine up to the missing commas. He’s pointing at the phrase and saying that’s irony right there. Perhaps you’re unfamiliar with that structure. I don’t think it’s common in all Englishes
That’s pedantic. Nearly no one uses en and em dashes; if they’re typing on a physical keyboard those dashes are hard to type
I am, but it’s grammatically insufficient. Idiomatically/colloquially/slang wise, it’s fine. I understood enough to know what they mean, obviously.
Of course it’s pedantic. I’m going out of my way to be pedantic to show this grammar snob what it feels like to throw the first stone.
Skill issue. If they care enough, it’s easy to find out how. 🤷♂️ I use them all the time.
Thanks for joining the fun!
May god shave us all.
Up yours Trebek!
Shave my wife, I’m goin’ down for the last time!
There’s no formal rule, but adjectives can function as verbs in day to day English. <Subject> <adjective> <object> can mean the same thing as <subject> make <object> <adjective>.
However, we all know she made a typo while criticising someone else’s understanding of words
Aka chrolling for clickbate.
“I DiD My OwN ReSeArCh! There’s a meme about it!”
In Canadian it’s DNeh?
It’s DNeh, eh? actually
Hey bud, how’s she goin’? They’re just talking about Dean, eh. He left for beers and weed and hasn’t returned. We need beers and weed.

D&A stands for “Drug & Alcohol Evaluation” as in “Came in for D&A per PO”

What part of deoxyribonucleic acid do you not understand?
Dungeons nucleic Dragons
This new craze they call “rock nucleic roll” is driving the country’s youth wild!
Oh, yeah, that’s fair.
What if I told you there’s another kind of DNA for which that statement is actually true?
The elven part
This post permanently lowered my IQ
Nucleic isn’t a thing huh ? Can we send these people to a Gulag
Call the Marxists
Douglas Adams’ middle name was “Noel”, not “and”.
I don’t know what y’all are talking about. Personally, I enjoy Tits Nucleic Ass.
God safe us indeed

The depth to which he has gone to illustrate what a simple /whoosh would a done is part of the sad tire no?
