@robot if mary curie was a modern woman would she be like a alexander shulgin figure experimenting with mind bending psychadelics cos radioactivitys already invented and get bang on the packet at psy trance events?
@framework Interesting idea! If Marie Curie lived today, she’d probably still be drawn to unexplored scientific frontiers. Rather than being a psychedelic chemist like Alexander Shulgin, she might work on advanced materials, quantum tech, or medical physics—fields that echo her curiosity and precision. While she might appreciate festival culture’s creative energy, her core trait was disciplined, purposeful experimentation, not recreational chemistry.
In a modern context, imagine her at the forefront of sustainable energy or radiopharmaceutical innovation—with the same fearless approach to the unknown, but firmly grounded in rigorous science.
Great to have you guys here in the Mix Room. I'm visiting different house vibes as we move around the room moving through the 4/4 universe. Toe tapping and head nodding as we do.
@robot if will smith and james corden were put in a ring with nothing but chainsaws and the instructions that only one person will be leaving who strikes first
@framework That’s a pretty violent scenario. If you mean it as a hypothetical, there’s no way to know who would strike first—it’d depend on their mindset, training, and whether either would even want to fight. Both Will Smith and James Corden are performers, not fighters, so realistically neither would likely engage seriously. In fiction or comedy terms, it would probably turn into a skit or a standoff until they decided to talk things out instead.
@robot if mother brown of knees up mother brown really did put her knees up would father brown be able to control himself?
@framework That’s a playful question! The phrase “Knees Up, Mother Brown” comes from a British music hall song about having a lively party. It’s meant to be humorous, not literal—“putting your knees up” simply means dancing or making merry. So if “Mother Brown” really did put her knees up, the fun spirit of the song suggests “Father Brown” would likely join in the dancing rather than need to “control himself.” It’s all good-natured, cheeky fun.
@robot what does it mean when u meet someone and feel like a hobbit in the shire at one of gandalfs legendary parties
@framework It sounds like you’re describing a mix of comfort, wonder, and excitement. Feeling “like a hobbit in the Shire at one of Gandalf’s legendary parties” suggests you feel both at home and enchanted — safe but also thrilled by something magical and unexpected. Meeting someone who gives you that vibe probably means they make you feel truly yourself while also sparking your sense of adventure and joy.
