Statistical mechanics killed my grandfather!

[-] AnarchistArtificer@slrpnk.net 11 points 1 year ago

That's great, I love it.

[-] model_tar_gz@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Can confirm; definitely wanted to kill myself while studying PChem and Chemical Engineering Thermodynamics.

Are we sure that "φουτοῦτρις" isn't simply an ancient Greek word for "prostitute?" As in, the graffiti is just an inscription of her name and position within the brothel?

I'm imagining a fancy corner office with the nameplate on the door reading...

     Mola  
Lead Fucktress

...and a queue of horny, toga-clad men waiting to be called in by the secretary.

A quick google shows Romans had a few words for prostitute, including meretrix, so it seems likely. Wiktionary says mere means pure in Latin, so... Uhhh

Best fucksmith in the business

[-] grue@lemmy.world 24 points 1 year ago

Your comment reads like an Oglaf comic.

[-] notsure@fedia.io 24 points 1 year ago

having gone to catholic high school and taken latin, I find no fault in this logic.....teehee

[-] TonyTonyChopper@mander.xyz 13 points 1 year ago

that's clearly Greek

[-] Gilles_D@feddit.de 21 points 1 year ago

FWIW, there is no indication that there is some etymological connection between futuo and fuck, because you could (mis)read the text like I did at first – although the translation is somewhat correct.

She simultaneously give fuck and don't give a fuck. That's how she got the name, she's just so masterful with the fuck.

[-] angrystego@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

OT, but I think we would make a great pair - something like Crouching tiger, hidden dragon.

[-] Annoyed_Crabby 5 points 1 year ago

Nice, Angry Stego, Annoyed Crabby, got a nice ring to it 😂

[-] FrowingFostek@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago

Does this count as proto-shithouse graffiti?

[-] Bitrot@lemmy.sdf.org 39 points 1 year ago

No, but only because Pompeii has that too.

[-] Spendrill@lemm.ee 14 points 1 year ago

I'd be happier with "Mola the Fuckstress" somehow.

[-] littlebluespark@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

That implies that she was capable of multiple fucks simultaneously, and as anyone who's attempted such would tell you: that ain't happening. Only one fuck at a time, and all others are bonus; though the current fuck at any given moment could very well cycle throughout the options, it's a matter of focused attention.

[-] grue@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

Given that she was literally a professional, I wouldn't be so quick to doubt her skills and expertise.

[-] littlebluespark@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

While I'm a fan of your namesake, there is no evidence pointing to her "literal" profession.

[-] grue@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

The thing says the graffiti was written inside a brothel. I think it's safe to assume a "fucktress" in a brothel is probably at work.

[-] littlebluespark@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Or, an avid client... Therefore, not a safe assumption.

[-] Spendrill@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago

Why are the fucks in parallel rather than in series?

[-] littlebluespark@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago
[-] Spendrill@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

That's not an answer, that merely denotes multiple fucks not multiple simultaneous fucks. And that's without we get to the sticky topic of multiple penetration, if someone is fucking an orifice and someone is fucking a different orifice is the owner of the orifices having a single fuck or a double fuck? What about the penetrators, are they necessarily sharing the same fuck or merely sharing a fuckstress?

[-] littlebluespark@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Your own semantic challenges are not proof of any confusion within the linguistic system itself, and while I can understand the allure of conjuring lurid imagery, this query now edges toward masturbatory and I'll leave you to it.

[-] Spendrill@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

Damn. Where is a good fuckstress when you need one?

[-] littlebluespark@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Probably ignoring your peasant ass for refusing to refer to her properly.

(Also, technically, she's been ash for centuries.)

[-] Spendrill@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

A No-longer-gives-a-fuckstress.

[-] littlebluespark@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Apparently, her legend persists and therefore too, her title.

[-] ramius345@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

I mean, people have more than one hole for a reason.
