Ironically a few years back I was starting a project at work and was told one of the machines was a "miyano" I didn't know what that was so I googled it... Entire first page of images was anime.

Turns out it was a 12 axis lathe...

Anyone asking me for CNC, will be pleasantly surprised when a truck arrives with an 5-axis Fanuc.

You just have a spare $100,000 laying around?

If you weren't eating so many goddamn avocado toasts, you would, too.

Yeah? Where is your CNC then??

Ha, gottem

My wife took it in the divorce.

[–] Yurgenst@sh.itjust.works 13 points 3 days ago

Hello, I am here asking you for CNC! When should I expect the truck? And does it come with tooling as well? 😁

[–] tpihkal@lemmy.world 81 points 4 days ago (3 children)

Ooo boy, she's about to learn about g-code!

[–] Psythik@lemmy.world 28 points 3 days ago

We don't talk to police, we don't make a peace bond.
We don't trust in the judicial system, we shoot guns.
We rely on the streets though we do battle in the hood.
I was born in the G Code, embedded in my blood.

[–] Bonus@mander.xyz 11 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

The g-code spot is a myth!

I had to come to the comments to find out what she meant. CNC fabrication was the only thing I could think of.

I literally do not understand the meme. Is the first meaning of CNC something sexual?

[–] Jarix@lemmy.world 43 points 3 days ago (8 children)

Consensual non consent.

Also known, or formerly known as rape play.

[–] Holytimes@sh.itjust.works 13 points 2 days ago (2 children)

I feel like calling it rape play is just more honest.

[–] ricecake@sh.itjust.works 21 points 2 days ago (7 children)

It's more blunt, but people who have been raped would point out that there's a big difference between the sexual nature of consensual non consent, and the objectively violent nature of rape.

It's less that it's less honest than that it's more clear about what it is, and what it isn't. It's about what people think rape is about, and not what it actually is: angry, hateful and violent.

Joke's on you, I don't know either (any) meaning of this abbrevation!

[–] rikudou@lemmings.world 40 points 4 days ago (6 children)

CNC = consensual non-consent, basically roleplaying being forced into sex.

The other CNC is a machine for creating physical stuff using computer. Like a laser cutter or a 3D printer. No idea what the actual meaning of the abbreviation is.

[–] PM_ME_VINTAGE_30S@lemmy.sdf.org 25 points 4 days ago (3 children)

Computer Numerical Control

I'm a woman and That's what i thiught too. Is there a sexual conotation to cnc? Maybe that's why my sex life is shit

[–] cassandrafatigue@lemmy.dbzer0.com 19 points 3 days ago (1 children)

No. It's shit because you don't have enough CNC hardware to attract a lover.

[–] MissJinx@lemmy.world 18 points 3 days ago (5 children)

Makes sense. I bought a fucking 3d printer instead of investing on a cnc. I'm dumb

consensual nonconsent, aka rape kink

[–] MissJinx@lemmy.world 8 points 3 days ago (1 children)
[–] Ashiette@lemmy.world 9 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (3 children)

It can be really fun. But the "rape" is misguided, some like the "rape kink" but CNC is not only this.

Why is it ALWAYS CNC?

It's like the DNS of sexual fantasies for women.

[–] SCmSTR@lemmy.blahaj.zone 41 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Because total submission is hot.

Because being wanted so much that somebody is willing to throw away their common ethical code is hot.

Because rough sex is hot.

Because doing these things in a safe space with somebody you actually fully trust is really hot.

[–] ulterno@programming.dev 24 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Have you touched a CNC tool tip right after a non-watercooled job?

[–] Obi@sopuli.xyz 14 points 2 days ago

I bet it's really hot.

Porque no los dos?

I've found that subs really dig it when you've machined your own spanky tools...

Also, HAAS are some jank ass machines. Tiny ways, newer controls are glitter covered shit, they fucked up the remote handwheel...
