    Forget Science hell, this is everyones hell.

    I might not have a degree but Ive been in my industry for 12 years and frequently get told how wrong I am about it.

      FFS I once even had someone on Reddit confidently and condescendingly lecture me on how a completely fictional world works and why my explanation of it is totally wrong. Note: This was on /r/worldbuilding and they were lecturing me on a fictional world that I created.

      People just like to feel superior by claiming to know more than other people. Tale as old as time. Not claiming I’m not guilty of it either because I think everyone is.

      tbf there are people in my field who have been wrong for fifty years, and counting. Science progresses one funeral at a time and all that.

    So. Today I learned that penguins have projectile poo, and that there’s a pterosaurs that could have eaten people whole.

    I’ll let you pick.

      The penguins were extra traumatizing… not only can they apparently shoot their shit to avoid crapping on their eggs and young, but they also live and breed in tight colonies, making them dump on each other 🤧 one of my favorite animals I can never see the same again

        The penguins will be something my nephew will find interesting.

        SiL … let’s just say her favorite movies is Happy Feet.

        I’m torn between sharing facts he’ll find interesting, and ruining penguins cuz he won’t shut up about it.

        Nah, hes the one that gives unsolicited lectures and loses his shit when you tell him he’s wrong. Always at the worst possible time too.

      Also you have to publish a paper every month or you get extra punishment, and Tony never stops talking, demanding your time. Punishment for not publishing is you have to teach a freshman course on a trivial subject where all the students are barely smart enough to keep breathing on their own.
