acapella science is one of my favorite channels!

Have you watched the leucocyte one already? Pop songs improve so much when they habe the right lyrics!

Bananable, in Can't catch me, coppers!!

You can just open them, all the ones at my Uni have tubular locks that can be opened as fast as using the key.

Tankiedesantski, in We don't judge here. :)

I’m sure you didn’t mean it, but given the dearth of women in engineering, there’s an interpretation of this meme that’s kinda sexist.

I’m literally a woman in STEM lmao.

Tankiedesantski,

Like I said, I don’t think you meant it.

Independent of who you are the meme could be read in a certain way.

  1. You could replace either character and the meme would still work. Sometimes, things are just a joke.
  2. I’m not responsible for bigots who misinterpret things based on their own biases.
  3. Woke scolding only divides people who should be allies instead of addressing those who are the problem (see 2).
milicent_bystandr,
  1. Yes you are! This is the internet! Stop being nice and start hating people!!

No! I refuse! Take my silly memes and have a good night, you beautiful bastard!

Tankiedesantski,

If 1) is true then taking a stand on 2) and 3) is pointless at best and callous at worst.

Like you said, the joke works equally well with the genders reversed to remove the possibility of misinterpretation.

I understand, however, I feel that the critique of this meme is an overreach and, frankly, misdirected. By focusing on this as a problem, we risk diverting attention from the real, substantive issues that need our energy and advocacy. It’s important to pick our battles wisely and concentrate on fighting blatant sexism and inequality, rather than reading into harmless humor. We do a disservice to the cause by attacking allies over perceived slights that, in reality, are neutral and unrelated to the broader struggles women face in STEM. Regardless of who is in this meme, it does not effect my position as a woman in STEM in any way.

Tankiedesantski,

I’m not trying to attack you or anything. I’m not calling you a sexist and throughout this whole interaction I’ve given you maximal benefit of the doubt about your intentions.

All I wanted to do is point out that this meme could be read to have an unintended negative meaning, a point which I don’t think you’ve even disagreed with.

If a big part of why this meme is okay to you is the fact that you’re a woman in STEM them at least men should be aware that it might be interpreted differently if they share it or spread it around. It is, after all, a meme.

“Woke scolding”

If you think this doesn’t exist then you haven’t spent enough time differentiating Marxism from liberal identity politics.

so glad you were here to explain to me the error of my ways, whatever would i do without your enlightened understanding of marxism🙄

if you think people complaining about “woke scolds” aren’t 99% conservatives then idk what to tell you dog, particularly in the context of “actually being concerned about social issues pushes people into reaction!”

milicent_bystandr,

That sounded darker when I misread your comment as

the death of women in engineering

leftzero, in Why??

Does no one remember what happened to Númenor…!?

seSvxR3ull7LHaEZFIjM, in Can't we just talk about it without the maths? Guys?

I hate to tell you but philosophy has its own branch of basically math (logic). You need math to prove things :(

ALostInquirer,

Is that in the form of the supporting statistical data, for the maths alone, or…? For logic I have a better understanding, but maths has been more of a struggle for me.

F04118F,

It’s nothing to do with statistics, “just” logic. But most people find that it starts to feel like maths real quick.

If you want to try it: ocw.mit.edu/courses/24-241-logic-i-fall-2009/

acockworkorange,

It’s more like math uses logic as a tool to prove things.

CluckN, in Why??

Holds up a piece of paper

A wormhole

grabs a pencil

Works like this

folds paper

shoves pencil up my ass

Decoy321, (edited ) in Why??

I’ve always enjoyed this explanation.

Just a heads up,this one’s safe, but most of the Oglaf comics are NSFW.

Rootiest, in 🦋🦋🦋

I wonder what it feels like to be a brain in a goo sac

deadbeef79000,

I mean, that’s pretty much what we are.

A brain driving a meat puppet.

Jackcooper, in You people are everywhere I stg

Now this is shitposting

spinylizard, in 95% sure this is accurate

Haha as a statistician that’s why we want to keep measuring the same thing over time. I appreciate ur confidence interval

morrowind, in We don't judge here. :)

physics majors when they’re asked to apply their knowledge (they’ve never been outside of the lab)

wizzor,

They can design the chicken coop, but only for spherical chickens in a vacuum.

nilloc, (edited )

Just like the Tesla Truck!

Though lack of both physics and engineering is on display there.

It also fails from the arts and sociology perspectives.

HiddenLayer5, in Can't catch me, coppers!!
@HiddenLayer5@lemmy.ml avatar

Or, you know, at least clean it first.

Bishma, in Who is he talking to crying???
@Bishma@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

The benefit to all the research papers I read skimmed in college is that it made all the technical whitepapers I now need to read summarize with GPT a lot less painful in comparison.

mrbn, in Why??

I would think it was pretty obvious… THEY’RE JERKS.

But what can you expect from a species that’s always looking down on others?

Thank you, i will see myself out.
