I imagine they know how current works though

And that's why MIT choose the beaver as a mascot instead of an otter.

I love the uncertainty of the word "probably".

You can never completely rule out some J Robert Otterheimer being out there thinking up new technologies.

This is as bad as Zebras not understanding quadratic equasions. Do they teach their young nothing?

I'm on the otters side here, semiconductors make no sense. For example the Fermi-Energy is supposed to be in the middle of the band gap but how that's just idiotic. Fermi-Energy is the point up to that we fill electrons but inside the bandgap are no states. Like defining the properties of an electron that doesn't exist.

You're welcome.

Eh, most people are unaware of how semiconductors work

[–] Sibbo@sopuli.xyz 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Yeah but otters are not most people

[–] robolemmy@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

And, sadly, most people are not otters.

[–] Lodespawn@aussie.zone 1 points 21 hours ago

This cuts deep =(

Especially for otters, how are they supposed to learn about magnets when they dissolve in water?!

[–] southsamurai@sh.itjust.works 2 points 17 hours ago

Exactly! Otters and raccoons always lag behind on material sciences for just that reason

[–] thesystemisdown@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Most people are unaware of how most things work.

The American educational system is subpar! Subpar I say!

[–] OhStopYellingAtMe@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

But then how will they get into otter space?

[–] smeenz@lemmy.nz 2 points 22 hours ago

Some otter way

[–] riskable@programming.dev 5 points 1 day ago

I dunno. They're pretty good with rocks. Given enough time they just might teach them to think.

[–] ceenote@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

Otters just want to sail through life getting by on their looks alone. ^I'm okay with it^
