I can’t quite get over the fact that the premise is false

Worked as a physicist for 30 years, nobody talks like that. Everyone else in the room is to smart, and will slap you down for using absolutes.
>nobody
You should be slapped as well then.
Well it’s about time someone picked up on that one. It was low hanging fruit.

For some reason your comment makes me think of this
Think you'd rather catch an art teacher saying that than a scientist tbh.
Bismuth has joined the chat
Straight lines are it’s Bismuth.
Is the gas form called Bismeth?
Most scientists won't say that there are no straight lines in nature, it's so obviously and provably wrong. I think it's more of a thing philosophically said when talking about how modern life is so different and unnatural compared to the lives of ancient people or animals.
I wonder if there's any animals who see crystals in nature and think "wow that's a really cool rock".
Birds definitely think this. My local Magpies have definitely attempted bribery with cool rocks and shiny discarded human objects
Straight line and sharp corners in almost all crystals.
Nice eg. in Ireland

just because someone calls themself a scientist doesnt mean they are, as evidenced by that post
what about evil wizards who call themselves scientists? legit, or no?
And this is why absolute statements are generally bad arguments. It only takes one example to disprove them.
Only Siths deal in absolutes
No scientists ever said that.
I didn't say they did. I was commenting on the meme and speaking generally.
Wildcats are nature, they have multiple very sharp corners.
Quite ironic.
Does it still have straight lines under a microscope?
Does it still have straight lines if you look really closely?
I must confess, this sparked a laugh
This pointiness, it’s nature’s gaff
Give me a siiiiign
Fool me baby one more time
Technically fibers in wood is straight.
I want to say ice has straight edges
We exist within nature, so nature created linear particle accelerators.
