Next thing you know your room is at perfect temperature all year round with just a few lines of micro python and he keeps a pocket scope under his pillow.

it’s for resisting peer pressure

Really enjoying the arc of this comment tree

Sure, it always just starts with "I'll just solder a few resistors here; what's the problem?", but before you know it your kid is gonna be out there giving acid baths to PCBs.

[-] EvacuateSoul@lemmy.world 19 points 1 week ago

Ohh I thought they were pins and the kids was tailoring his clothes.

[-] HotsauceHurricane@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago

I thought it was some odd looking embroidery.

[-] SkunkWorkz@lemmy.world 89 points 1 week ago

Found his kit, please help:

[-] tetris11@feddit.uk 22 points 1 week ago

This is so overkill; all you need is a lighter and a spoon, and those contacts basically bond themselves

[-] xthexder@l.sw0.com 9 points 1 week ago

I mean, you solder pipes with a flame, why not circuit boards too?

Fuck! This is a 21st century vampire hunting kit!

The one time my mom sat me down and had a talk about the thermal compound syringe she found while cleaning...

[-] rumba@lemmy.zip 16 points 1 week ago

These look shady AF too :)

I got some little baggies intended to hold stamps (as part of a magazine feature) and received a sit down talk about marijuana.

Heroine like the wonder woman? GO SON! I'd do her too

Imagine dating a valkyrie. You did well, child.

I think they call it a micro controller because it gets inside your brain and controls you!!!

Is that a reference to interest in electronics being a gateway drug to gender transition?

[-] jaybone@lemmy.zip 71 points 1 week ago
[-] A7thStone@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago

When I first started setting lgbt I was wondering why everyone was interested in insulated gate bipolar transistors.

...to gender transistor.

FTFY.

My relatives (I lived with them for a few years) found my leftover pipettes and stirring rods from my chemistry classes in my room and they genuinely thought I was doing drugs. One of them harassed me over it and another told me that she's always open if I need to talk about it. But whenever I try explaining that it's for school she brushes me off lmao

[-] Honytawk@feddit.nl 27 points 1 week ago

Worse, he is "soldering"

[-] shalafi@lemmy.world 14 points 1 week ago

Not ragging on anyone for ignorance, never will, but it's a little weird how many people are asking what these are, especially in such a nerdy community.

[-] Ledivin@lemmy.world 23 points 1 week ago

You're not gonna believe this, but most chemists never touch electronics. "Nerdy" is a really, really, really wide category.

I guess she encountered a lot of resistance from all those!

Resistance is futile

[-] TheLeadenSea@sh.itjust.works 13 points 1 week ago
[-] mx_smith@lemmy.world 45 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Electronic parts. Resistors. Probably about 66 ohms resistance looking at the color bands.

[-] ChaoticNeutralCzech@feddit.org 40 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

A better copy reveals a yellowish color on top. Therefore, I lean towards 470 Ω, which is a way more common value.

[-] rustydrd@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 week ago

Is this going to be the Lemmy version of The Dress?

This guy resists.

[-] DarrinBrunner@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Here's a circuit board with resistors installed. They're used by hobbyists to make their own boards.

However, even for hobbyists, surface mount versions are now common:

It's a pack of resistors. Electrical resistors for building electronic circuits.

Yes, he is. But these are just resistors.

[-] Kolanaki@pawb.social 11 points 1 week ago

Gonna be a bit hard to push heroin through those. Lotta resistsnce.

[-] Aceticon@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Can't really tell for sure from the picture but it looks like the purest shit (at worse 5%, possibly even 2%) rather than the run of the mill 10% stuff.

[-] RampantParanoia2365@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago

Agreed. Super annoying when people ask questions without a question mark.

[-] rumba@lemmy.zip 8 points 1 week ago

Worse, he's picked up a nasty through-hole habit.

[-] luciole@beehaw.org 8 points 1 week ago
[-] cassandrafatigue@lemmy.dbzer0.com 13 points 1 week ago

So much worse. Kid's gonna be an engineer.
