Can someone explain hippopocranuse?

jol,

You wouldn’t understand.

Knusper,

I’m guessing, the rainbow colours are there because prisms are triangular. And to make it look more ridiculous, of course.

The ☤ symbol is a caduceus, which got mixed up here with the Rod of Asclepius, which is a symbol for medicine.
So, it’s related to Hippocrates, who was a physician, perhaps most prominently known for the Hippocratic Oath.

This was a poor analysis of the data.

Because this should have been transcribed, here’s each one from inside out:

I have a geography joke, but I don’t know where it is.

I have a statistics joke, but it’s not significant.

I have an Economics joke, but it’s not in demand.

I have a civil engineering joke, but it’s still under construction.

I have a philosophy joke, but I don’t know why.

I have a math joke, but I can’t proof it.

I have a physics joke it’s low potential.

I have a chemistry joke, but it’s still brewing.

I have a biology joke but it’s not viable.

I have an archaeology joke but it’s probable just a ritual.

I’m slightly annoyed that this uses the Right Single Quotation Mark (U+2019) instead of an apostrophe. I guess OCR.

subtext,

That’s fair, and not OCR, just me typing this up by hand (and autocorrect from iOS). That’s why I added periods where they weren’t in the source and commas as well.

PoisonedPrisonPanda, in easy as π

Thats kind of brilliant.

brown567, in easy as π

Pi has 10 unique digits which are, in order of first appearance, 3, 1, 4, 5, 9, 2, 6, 8, 7, 0 =)

Doctor is gender neutral.

devz0r,

So is "folks" but that didn't stop people from neutralizing it or whatever it's called.

moistclump,

They neutralize folks?

acockworkorange,

I wonder how’s that. Folkxs? Fxkls?

GiveMemes,

“Folx” lmao

blanketswithsmallpox,

Get the folx out of here.

I had no idea they did that to folks lol.

UNWILLING_PARTICIPANT,

I’m still not convinced we aren’t being fucked with

SatanicNotMessianic,

What if we move in the opposite direction and go with doctrix?

And I mean for everybody. Like a gender-bending neutral.

MajorMajormajormajor,

neutral

What makes a man turn neutral? Is it lust for money? Power? Or were you just born with a heart full of neutrality?

Sounds like a dominant female doctor. I’m in.

Currens_felis,

I’ve heard doctress used for female doctors

Aremel,

Was it in the year 1910?

DroneRights,

And a male doctor is a doctsman

SmoothIsFast, in Pronouns.

Y’all joke, I had a college professor on the first day of class say “if you want to call me by my first name, that’s fine. My first name is Doctor.”

SlopppyEngineer, (edited )

If somebody starts with that “call me doctor” stuff, I’ll insist they’ll call me engineer. It’s also a legally protected title.

Norgur, in C14

Hah!

HelixDab2, in Pronouns.

I had an art history professor that insisted on being called doctor; she said she’d put in a lot of time and spent a lot of money to get that degree, and so she wanted to get her money’s worth.

She was a lot of fun.

ftbd,

Isn’t professor a higher title though?

HelixDab2,

No; adjunct faculty can also rightly be called professor without having achieved a doctorate. I’ve had a few professors that had BAs and MFAs (esp. since I’m not sure that there are PhD programs for fine arts).

ftbd,

Interesting; I’ve literally never heard of this (EU)

HelixDab2,

Could just be the schools that I’ve gone to, could be some weird thing that the US does that no one else does (kinda like SI v. metric).

ADTJ,

It depends what country you’re in

Good_Idea_Poorly_Realized, (edited )

I bet she was.

I’ve never meet someone who insisted on being called doctor that was anything except fun and reasonable to work with.

They love it when you let them know you also have a PhD…

HelixDab2,

I was being serious. She made art history–which is normally a fairly dry subject, particularly when you’re covering art before 1100CE–a really fun and engaging subject.
