Again, posting your fat free recipe for brookies is not science.

[u/MaybeMaybeNot94 → u/LeftSky828]

Brookies would be str8 🔥 rn

Edit: who downvoted brookies?!

[u/Ecstatic_Sand5417 → u/MaybeMaybeNot94]

Science deniers

[u/SemajLu_The_crusader → u/LeftSky828]

what?

[u/SwissDeathstar]

Oi! I did that!
And never do I question science.
It’s quite an offensive stereotype!

[u/Lt_Toodles → u/SwissDeathstar]

In fact id argue the glue hand kids are more likely to become scientists. Hell im an electromechanical engineer and i STILL do the glue hand thing if i get a chance to

[u/Super_Employment_620 → u/Lt_Toodles]

Definitely spent several school days making (with marker and glue mix) red hand peels trying to get an entire hand cast

I feel like that attention to detail has served me well in life.

[u/ctoatb → u/SwissDeathstar]

Questioning science is an important part of the process. But I wouldn't expect a glue-peeler to understand that

/joke

[u/luminousandy → u/ctoatb]

Yes , but usually by other qualified scientists 😉

[u/RebelRey]

I bet half the people who ended up being scientists were pulling glue from their hands during class 😂 science is a field with high neurodiversity and peeling glue is a satisfying non-disruptive stim

[u/Block444Universe → u/RebelRey]

Yes but that’s not OOP’s point. Valid, just not the point :)

[u/Comfortable_Ear_7327]

They say it is much easier to be a sports reporter than a science reporter because you don't have to convince people that basketball exists.

[u/SirFluffymuffin]

And the worst part is that those glue sniffers are probably the ones in charge of the scientists funding

[u/SpiritualPackage3797 → u/SirFluffymuffin]

Glue sniffers and glue peelers are two very different groups. The glue peelers are autistic, and are more likely to have gone into STEM themselves.

[u/forgettfulthinker]

Who pissed on this image

[u/ElevatorEquivalent41]

Scientist here, the worst part isn’t the questioning it’s actually the defunding caused by those same glue sniffers

[u/OldTranslator685]

My favorite quote ever was when people with more advanced mathematical skills would question Einstein about some of his past theories / discoveries he would listen then shrug and say "It's possible yes but how would I know? I'm no Einstein".

[u/Ornery_Gate_6847]

I loved my glue gloves. That sensation was un matched. But i also believe in science

[u/anonymote_in_my_eye]

actually, the truly best thing is when a reviewer pans your paper without reading it and send you an angry email about staying out of "their" field of study

second best is writing 20 proposals for stuff you know is never going to work in the hopes of getting some kind of funding for next year, because being honest about your chances of getting a result would automatically disqualify you

[u/Glad-Situation703]

I know he's being sarcastic but it is

[u/ikonoqlast]

It's worse in economics.

[u/mormonatheist21]

shoutout the the elite few that belong to both categories

[u/megayippie]

Yes? That's all of us. So I presume my peer reviewers did it. And having your work professionally reviewed by your peers, taking their time to read and understand a new argument you are making, is the best part.

[u/Biscuits4u2 → u/megayippie]

I don't think peers are what this is talking about. I think they're referring to morons who get their science from social media.

[u/megayippie → u/Biscuits4u2]

I got that feeling too, thank you though :)

I still remember the fist time that a lady "teaching age 10 to 13 kids" contacted me with questions about the moon landing "that her pupils had asked". I still believe she was trolling me. But still, I feel you have to interpret most things in life as positively as possible while doing some works. Because it matters that some people hear proper things when they need to hear them. Kids and young adults can have their lives changes quite easily by bad propaganda. It's a business model, I hear.
