Comment on Fun Otter Fact

I would beg to differ:
Semiconductors work by having electrical conductivity that can be controlled and modified, allowing them to act as either conductors or insulators depending on conditions. This is achieved through a process called doping, where impurities are added to the semiconductor material, creating regions that can conduct electricity more easily.

Okay but listen, if you’re an Asian small-clawed otter, or a Neotropical otter, you’d be expected to know that. We’re talking about the North American river otter here, and everyone knows what bumpkins they usually are.

Here’s the thing. You said a “North American river otter understands semiconductors.”
Is it in the same subfamily as the other otters? Yes. No one’s arguing that.

Now there’s a deep cut.

Listen bub, us North American River otters can be engineers, too. It’s just that societal structures that hold many of my fellow species back. I don’t appreciate the generalizations.

River Otters are just Beavers with sports scholarships.

They aren’t bumpkins, they’re just far more likely to major in pure math or biology.
