- whymauri 4y agomy favorite pika stories are about Pi Kappa Alpha brothers from the South showing up and being extremely confused about the naked people
- sanj 4y agoMy favorite story is about the attempt to recreate cold fusion, resulting in a Nova special referring to it as “a secret physics society”. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=7GPA_JZxT5w https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=7GPA_JZxT5w
- ztaira 4y agoI lived there too! What a wonderful mess it was lol One of my friends from high school was in Stanford's LSJUMB and while visiting him I got to briefly visit a couple of the Stanford co-ops. What struck me most was how similar the co-ops were despite being on literal opposite sides of the country. If there had been a magic wormhole-esque[0][1] portal that _actually_ linked the houses together, I would've only been mildly surprised Long live pika! Long live shenanigans!

- musicale 4y agoI believe there used to be a "wormhole" static video conference linking cafés at MIT and Stanford. You could sit down at a table at MIT and talk with people at Stanford or vice-versa. It's a great idea that should be deployed not just at universities but other places as well.
- theicfire 4y agoFirst time I've seen this show up on HN. I lived there too :). I still live in a co-op to this day.. actually one a few blocks away from Stanford.
