Hi there. I'm Rachel, known as Chaobunny on the internetz. College student, CS and math major, e.g. huge nerd. I'm probably the biggest Avatar fan you will ever meet. I'm also into fantasy and anime. I have socially progressive and fiscally moderate political views, and I am a proud Zionist.. I'm also a devoted vegetarian and animal lover, so I'll be reblogging tons of cute animal pictures (especially bunnies, I love bunnies!). ^_^
In addition to essentially inventing the computer, Alan Turing also broke the German Enigma Code during World War II which paved the way for the D-Day invasion. The man was a hyper-genius. I’ve read descriptions of his work by mathematical physicist Sir Roger Penrose. He’s been a hero of mine ever since.
The level of thought required to come up with the stuff he came up with is totally beyond my comprehension. I actually did not even know about his orientation until much later. He was prosecuted and ordered to undergo chemical castration. Soon thereafter, he committed suicide by eating a cyanide-laced apple.
The government forced him to take estrogen as a punishment (or “cure”?). He began to develop breasts and other side effects.
He committed suicide by biting into a cyanide laced apple. This is supposedly the inspiration for the name/logo of Apple computers.

the apple was a rainbow
Reblogging again because more people need to know about Turing dammit.
Real life creepypasta.
damn assholes in the past i wish those people who banned homosexuality weren’t alive at all
That is exactly where the rainbow apple came from and one of the reasons Apple is awesome.

First off, ‘Share if you’ve used a computer?’ Exactly how would you share if you had NOT used a computer? Anyway, this...
