Low Quality Facts

Feeling inadequate because everyone on Mastodon appears to be a professor or a doctor or a rocket scientist?

Follow me and feel better about yourself, for I have the intellect of a clever potato.

@lowqualityfacts
I followed you.
You haven't followed back.

Pinky Jones

@lowqualityfacts weird, other people have followed me since I wrote that.

David August

@pinkyjones @lowqualityfacts low quality facts doesnโ€™t follow me either. The sadness continues.

Bryan Redeagle

@lowqualityfacts Not here. I never finished college after 6 years of it, and my current job/title is because of nepotism.

Mike McGraw

@redeagle @lowqualityfacts
But I hear you keep an eye on everythingโ€ฆall the time, Spud. ๐Ÿฅ”๐Ÿ‘€

@lowqualityfacts

Gives us mediocre potatoes something to aspire to.

Mind Dilation

@lowqualityfacts Being a professor or holding another "respectable" title doesn't make one a decent human being.

@lowqualityfacts Building a rocket out of a toilet roll and throwing it from a window aged 5 to see what happens counts as "rocket scientist".

Jon (TechNurseJon) :finsup:

@lowqualityfacts If a potato is clever and has intellect, I feel inadequate.

@lowqualityfacts IVE BEEN FOLLOWERING LOW QUILTY FRACT FOR TEN YEARS AND I LEARNEDED MY APCs.

@lowqualityfacts
If it makes you feel any better, yes I'm in grad school for biomedical engineering. But right now I have a math class kicking my ass

Atomic Birdseed

@lowqualityfacts in Australia, we have some already: Brushed, Washed, New, and Red.

jonwiesman

@lowqualityfacts Yeah, that bar is still a little too high for me. Do you know anyone with the intellect of a non-clever potato?

@lowqualityfacts in the end, we are all users. ๐Ÿ˜† Luckily, the pushers stayed at the bird site.

@fuzzface @lowqualityfacts Guess I'm only a spud boy, looking for that real tomatoooh! ๐ŸŽต

PeterP

@lowqualityfacts what kind of potato? Russet? Yukon? Mashed ?

Low Quality Facts

@Peterp More like a random one you found on the street and don't know how it got there.

PeterP

@lowqualityfacts sos youโ€™re not book smart but street smart! The best kind of people

@lowqualityfacts Iโ€™m a doctor who still feels insecure by others here. Iโ€™ve been following you for weeks now ๐Ÿ˜Š

Allen Stenhaus

@lowqualityfacts I have the wisdom of a potato. Is that okay?

Derek ๐ŸŒˆ

@lowqualityfacts @donmelton I will have to say.. your Low Quality Factsโ€ฆ are indeed low quality. If anyone needs a reference, Iโ€™m here for you. โค๏ธ๐Ÿคญ๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐Ÿš€

@lowqualityfacts

Iโ€™d follow you, but Iโ€™m a rocket scientist.

@lowqualityfacts Iโ€™m a damned unemployable artist/amateur theologian/entirely subjective magician and I love it.

@lowqualityfacts Mastodon is the new LinkedIn? Because I know quite a few people whose LinkedIn IS NOT who they really are. ๐Ÿ˜‚

kierkegaank

@lowqualityfacts Low quality fact: a clever potato literally translates as a wedged potato from Swedish

The Jack of Sandwich

@lowqualityfacts At least your intellect is delicious.

Even more delicious with some cheese (but what isn't?)

CharliDuffy6

@lowqualityfacts well we should get along nicely. Iโ€™m more along the lines of spinach.

oldfartjmb says eh?

@lowqualityfacts you, my friend, have a wonderful intellect. And a wonderful sense of humor.

fritzcokid

@lowqualityfacts sold. I look forward to responding to posts with occasional "meh"

Andy Teaszer Fella

@lowqualityfacts I love potatoes!

(I did the toe thing in case Quayle is following me)

@lowqualityfacts Yes, sometimes it's intimidating. One night, I caught myself crying, "I'm too stupid for Mastodon"! I'm over it, now. HAHAHA!!!

Jennifer Slack

@lowqualityfacts I am a professor but a very unclever potato and envious of the good-humored cleverness I see everywhere on Mastodon - your toots included.

kevin

@lowqualityfacts
At least you have the temerity to admit it. not like the rest of these bozos, he said, unintentionally including himself in the unconscious gesture.

zendao42

@lowqualityfacts
I'm a dilettante with 2 degrees but no certification & thoroughly enjoy all non-sweet varieties of potatoes, including couch

Stephie Lynz

@lowqualityfacts I am also a potato ๐Ÿฅ” a sweet potato tho ๐Ÿ˜ฌ

@silveraura7 @lowqualityfacts OMFG the phrase "clever potato" reminds me of this text blurb I saw on a joke website, godieinahole.com. It said โ€œThis page brought to you by some clever potatoes that happen to write Java without pants.โ€

Bobsee

@lowqualityfacts Yeah sure why not. But donโ€™t think doctors know more than you.

Randulo.com

@lowqualityfacts Like the Instagram of intellectuals? ๐Ÿคฃ

@lowqualityfacts As a follower, I can attest to that ๐Ÿ‘

@lowqualityfacts You seem to be quite popular, already ;)

Not a prof or a doc or a scientist, but if someone, here, appreciates #writing , #poetry or #spirituality these are subjects that Iโ€™ve published #books about, over the years.

re "....everyone on Mastodon appears to be a professor or a doctor or a rocket scientist? Follow me and feel better about yourself, for I have the intellect of a clever potato"

As have many profs and drs.

Not so many rocket scientists

@lowqualityfacts

If your facts are accurate, that's quality.

@ElleGray

economรญstica

@lowqualityfacts in order to have a real chance as a bird site alternative, this place needs a lot more silliness

Ramona Grigg

@lowqualityfacts LOL. You're feeling it, too? I feel like hollering sometimes but they might hear me, and then what? No, it's better if they don't notice me.

DillaClare

@lowqualityfacts following. Welcome, fellow potato๐Ÿ™‚

@lowqualityfacts Pretty full of yourself, huh?๐Ÿ˜

@lowqualityfacts A "clever" potato? Look at the ego on this spud

@lowqualityfacts

A potato battery can push about three quarters of a volt*. That looks pretty clever to me.

*depending on your choice of electrodes, of course

smellsofbikes

@angelastella @lowqualityfacts If you put enough electrodes in series you can get some voltage, and now I'm wondering just how many volts you can get from a single potato.

รngela Stella Matutina

@smellsofbikes @lowqualityfacts

Now THAT is an interesting question. It depends on how close and how far apart you can space electrodes, and there's no way to find out but by experiment.

รngela Stella Matutina

@smellsofbikes @lowqualityfacts

And zinc and copper* and voltmeters... this shit is gonna be huge, alright!

*We will hunt up and down the galvanic series, don't worry

smellsofbikes

@angelastella @lowqualityfacts heh I was just looking up electrical potentials and thinking lithium copper setups

รngela Stella Matutina

@smellsofbikes @lowqualityfacts

Lithium is a bitch*. It's no wonder it took two hundred years of electrochemistry to tame it.

*I'm a bitch too, but the good kind of bitch, as in "you pay me, we fuck, I forget all about it".

smellsofbikes

@angelastella @lowqualityfacts I've electrochemically refined sodium before. Lithium would be a fun challenge.

DELETED

@lowqualityfacts I have #Cats, therefore I feel better than a doctor, a rocket scientist and a professor. You should try them. ๐Ÿ˜‚

Jen Costillo :verified:

@neoczo @lowqualityfacts but donโ€™t do what I did and give them phds. These cats have better titles than I do and that hurts my self-esteem.

Phil Landmeier

@lowqualityfacts Masto is a lot more egalitarian today than it was two years ago when what you said was completely true.

DELETED

@lowqualityfacts A particularly clever potato, if I say so myself.

Miragee

@lowqualityfacts Potatoes are superior because they have many eyes and can really see what is happening.๐Ÿ‘€

Jocelyn Sordoni

@lowqualityfacts what do you mean a CLEVER potato? I think you might be over-starching your abilities a little there

gregsdennis

@lowqualityfacts I once knew a clever potato. She wanted to kill me. Do you want to kill me?

Philip Cardella

@lowqualityfacts I'm not a professor, medical professional or rocket scientist. I am related to those things though LOL. But I'm the 46 year old grad student with no direction (not gonna be a professor). ๐Ÿคฃ

Matt :verified_mastodon:

@lowqualityfacts thatโ€™s insulting to sentient potatoes everywhere

MrShoggoth

@lowqualityfacts - Iโ€™m following you now. Send me a dollar.

mybarkingdogs

@lowqualityfacts Same haha Iโ€™m just a failed musician/writer that plays too many video games and finds the weather infinitely interesting

@lowqualityfacts
I graduated high school! Then did amazing things once I got out of a system designed for a non existent average student.

A. Rivera

@lowqualityfacts I laughed but yea, I hear ya. I do also have days I feel inadequate from all the rocket scientists, engineers, doctors of all kinds, and other public intellectuals.

BTW, enjoying greatly the many responses to the original toot.

@lowqualityfacts you seem to have a chip on your shoulder...
