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!"

Collaboration: "Fuck.... Let's slap some duct tape on this and never speak of it again."

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

[-] ulterno@lemmy.kde.social 2 points 3 months ago

but I’ve learned my lesson

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

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

[-] Transporter_Room_3@startrek.website 11 points 3 months ago

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

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

[-] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 9 points 3 months ago

“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?"

[-] Droggelbecher@lemmy.world 14 points 3 months ago

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.

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.

MY personal favorite:

"Oh! Fuck me, Christ!"

[-] Dicska@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

The bottom left is in arse-ON mode.

[-] model_tar_gz@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

Fucking work for once you piece of fuck. Fuck this day. Fuck this shit. Fuck this degree. Fuck.

[-] MeowZedong@lemmygrad.ml 3 points 3 months ago

We actually had one of my bosses say, "this is what we call a breakthrough," yesterday. First time ever.

[-] propter_hog@hexbear.net 3 points 3 months ago

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

[-] Kyle_The_G@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

I'm in histo/path and I feel like gordon Ramsey sometimes. HOW DARE YOU SERVE ME THIS SAMPLE, ITS RAW!!! (under/not fixed or processed or decalcified properly)

[-] Barx@hexbear.net 3 points 3 months ago

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