      Fun fact: “nuclear” ultimately comes from the Latin nucula, ‘little nut’. The c and l being adjacent is the result of metathesis, similar to pronouncing “ask” as “ax”.

      What would you want instead, a picture of the cover of Principia Mathematica? Just a Wikipédia link to the page for Pilot Wave Theory? Some broccoli taped to a white wall?

      It was nurses for me. Not necessarily attracted them, but like a third of my matches on dating apps were nurses. And I remember one of them mentioning that it seemed like every other guy she matched with was in IT (at the time I thought it was simply because dating apps were still kinda new around here and IT people were more likely to be trying it)
