To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Stingtalk. The humour is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of theoretical physics most of the jokes will go over a typical reader’s head. There’s also @Beestorm’s nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his characterisation- his personal philosophy draws heavily from Narodnaya Volya literature, for instance. STers understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these jokes, to realise that they’re not just funny- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike Stingtalk truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn’t appreciate, for instance, the humour in @cyptomcat’s existential catchphrase “your mother” which itself is a cryptic reference to Turgenev’s Russian epic Fathers and Sons. I’m smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Thr Jacket’s genius wit unfolds itself on their computer monitors. What fools.. how I pity them.
And yes, by the way, i DO have a ST tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It’s for the ladies’ eyes only- and even then they have to demonstrate that they’re within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand. Nothin personnel kid
