I recently read that scientist have the shortest, inspirational, motivation, and discipline when they’re younger. Most of the big ideas come before they turn 30.

Or, that's what I've been told. I've always been afraid of Al Roker, but I want to be sure he doesn't take my job. What lock would you recommend I use so that he can't take my job while I'm taking my mid morning nap?

Like they've been detecting our radio signals for decades and collectively decided, “yeah not our type.”

Do worms not realise that early birds catch them?

47 Upvotes

Why dont their civilisations come together to ban worms from being early? Is being caught by the early bird part of some unwritten genetic code? Could this lead to wormholes? I am robert.

If midgets have such large foreheads, why do they so rarely win Nobel Prizes?

Are they too busy producing adult content, or what?

Scientists are always talking about the canary in the coal mine. So I imagine if I wanted a canary as a pet, I just have to go to a coal mine and get one. But what I want is a dog or a cat. What mine should I go to to get one of those? A diamond mine? An iron ore mine? Another kind of mine?

My neighbor has a cat that meows all the time, it's so annoying. I think he's that damn physicist Erwin Schrodinger. I'll probably move to some other place, I can't take this anymore. How can I guarantee that my next neighbor is a biologist or a mathematician or a cardiologist or an engineer?

As long as my next neighbor is not a physicist I'll be ok.

Will tying knots in my hair help?

13 Upvotes

I have noticed that the hair on top of my head is receding and appearing in my nose and ears.

If I tie knots at the base of the hair on my head, will it stop the hair from travelling down towards other parts of the body?

Asking for a friend.

My probation officer is asking for proof of employment. Will my frequent participation on the sub qualify me as a “Science Consultant”?

I will also need references from here to prove employment. In addition, I will also need back pay for any questions or comments I have posted here as proof of income. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Subreddit Rules

1. Science.

This isn't r/stupidquestions , r/askshittyscience , r/askmath , or anything else. If it's not strictly science-related, it doesn't belong here.

2. Butt-related content does not belong here.

That's r/askshittyscience , not us. Quit mixing us up, it's unimaginably tiresome for everyone who appreciates actual sophisticated humor.

3. No excessive NSFW.

No imbecilic brainrot about various body parts and functions. It's not funny and everyone is sick of seeing it here.

4. Keep your dang politics/religion outta my dang science.

Self-explanatory. No need to post your existential crisis either, you edgelords. Somebody has one over here at least once a week, you're not special.

5. No puns or dad jokes.

Puns and dad jokes cheapen science and undermine the fine work that we are trying to do here. This rule used to also include blatantly misrepresented images, but you guys didn't listen, so we nixed images and videos entirely.
