@n3tcat @alina

am just some cat on the internet who happens to own a soldering iron.

Great quote

@n3tcat @alina incredibly cool project! thanks for sharing!

@n3tcat this is incredibly cool !!! some friends and i have thought about building something like this for a while, awesome to see someone actually do it
and if you ever have any spare boards i would be very interested 👀

@aismallard @n3tcat @alina meow mrrp

@n3tcat this is awesome, I had wanted to do something like this myself but when I last looked into it there weren't any resources available for how one would make a DIY electrolysis machine unless you already know some electrical engineering. might try to replicate your build

@n3tcat that's very awesome. As soon as I get my soldering station back, I'm making one of these

@n3tcat Holy shit you did what.

@julie :3

@n3tcat wild stuff, sophie
very cool

@flamingspork I may bring to MIT in june to show off :3 no promises tho hehe, although it's very compact!

@b @BabyFn0rd I unfortunately cannot sell, both because I'm scared of selling medical devices and because I'm a work visa that I would be in violation in by making money outside of my job. But it's all open source and reproducible!

@n3tcat HOLY MOLY

I LOVE WOMEN I LOVE WOMEN I LOVE WOMEN I LOVE WOMEN I LOVE WOMEN

@fiore I love women but I also love my body hair

@georgia oh yea fair what i mean is that i love solving problems in the face of adversity !!! i PERSONALLY would never touch an electrolysis pen and would not want one within a 1km radius of me .

@fiore the way electrolysis works freaks me out honestly, you stick the probe in the hole of each follicle

@georgia YES LETS NOT TRY TO MAKE THE PICTURE ANY CLEARER PLEASE

@fiore @georgia idk i’d folifuck my facial hair away

@shroomie @georgia laser is already freaky enough for me

@shroomie @fiore I used to tweeze my stache but I havent in over a year now. sometimes I pull a stray eyebrow with my nail and thats it. havent shaved pits or legs in eight years.

@georgia @shroomie I LOVE WOMEN I LOVE WOMRN

@fiore @georgia @shroomie wormen

@maxine @georgia @shroomie real

@fiore @maxine @shroomie

@fiore i genuinely hope this nigga dies #deserved

@fiore i know trans people on fedi are the poorest but idk maybe consider a professional?

@maxine you hate fun what if i came up to you and told you “leave browsers to professionals” thatd be like so lame

@fiore you would need to go deeper to offend me i think

@maxine imean yea thats not what i said , it would just be Lame . thats all

@fiore making a web browser and increasing your chances of skin cancer are two completely different things

@maxine imean shes doing that to herself who cares if the alternative is killing herself out of dysphoria so be it

@maxine @fiore i'm making a brand new web browser that gives you web browser cancer

@fiore @maxine its also not that deep and there is no sekrit institutional knowledge that makes it exclusively the domain of the cathedral

@ikeWren @fiore how would that work im curious

@maxine @fiore i thought about it for like one second and it's basically just what a memory leak is . fuuuckk i dont even need to make a cancer browser google did it for me already

@fiore @maxine this is literally on the same level as whinging about diy hrt

im not deleting this btw yall fell for the ragebait

genuinely you can ragebait a trans person by going against the popular opinion

@maxine grrrrr

@maxine @fiore ur so right i want you

@n3tcat this is very impressive and also i am deeply terrified by the prospect of a sign error resulting in hydrochloric acid forming under my skin

@n3tcat looking forward to seeing you at the june flea

@flamingspork @n3tcat i'll be there also probably and am also curious

@lena @fiore thank u lena

@maxine @fiore how much is big electrolysis paying you

@technolyze @fiore how much is aipac paying you

@technolyze @fiore answer or you are racist and you say nigga

@maxine @fiore you dumb af nigga

@technolyze @fiore im getting so hard..,,, mmggmhhh

@technolyze @fiore raceplay with me now

@maxine @fiore
>getting hard
I was already hard

@technolyze @fiore fuck me in the ass nigga

@flamingspork @n3tcat wait oops i mixed up dates and am not going to be able to make either the may or june ones which i am annoyed by. will you be at the july one

@leo @flamingspork probably not ):

@n3tcat @flamingspork uhhhh okay i didn't particularly want to miss the market in the first place, i'll have to get up very early to make it there but i can possibly manage

@n3tcat

hello I have just removed my first body hair using this DIY hair electrolysis machine I built. The current is controlled by how hard you squeeze the pop can and the power source is a car battery. I intend to improve this but for a first attempt I cannot complain
