I’ve never seen one up close before, it’s interesting how much their fins look like feathers, though it shouldn’t be that surprising given their purpose.

Snoopey, in hippopocranuse!!

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.

I have a multivariate calculus joke and it’s pretty normal but its goes on quite the tangent.

EDIT: Can somebody think of a better subject name for this joke? I tried physics at first but that’s too broad and I think Calculus is too specific so idk.

MyTurtleSwimsUpsideDown,

Sounds like an angular motion joke.

I have a short calculus joke. It’s a little derivative.

I have a zoology joke but ive beat this horse down to a bloody pulp

three20three, (edited ) in What does a PhD mean?

One of my professors used to refer to it as:

Bull Shit

More Shit

Piled High and Deep

tigeruppercut,

I guess outside of STEM you have Bull Ass and More Ass?

holycrap,

Only in customer facing positions

orbitz,

My Dad used to say it was just BS piled higher and deeper, similar but I always liked the joke from that phrasing.

Anyone knows the origin of this representation? I’ve seen a professor use it years ago and I thought it was his, but I guess not.

MelodicMischief,

It is from Matt Might, here.

Matt Might, a professor in Computer Science at the University of Utah, created The Illustrated Guide to a Ph.D. to explain what a Ph.D. is to new and aspiring graduate students.

Great, thank you! This post was not respecting the CC-BY ;)

I have a quantum physics joke, but it’s simultaneously hilarious and a flop. Well, i guess now you know which.

eran_morad, in What does a PhD mean?

Eh. It was a stupid misadventure, but it led ultimately to me meeting my wife and making a good amount of money. I managed to eke out a win.

I have a politics joke but it is just not funny anymore.

I have no idea where my physics joke is, however, I know it’s exact momentum.

taanegl, in What does a PhD mean?

I would use the definition of Dr Kanye West, but that might not be appropriate.

divingaround, in Oxygen.

Pretty sure there’s some worms or something that live by deep sea vents which breathe sulfur not oxygen and are believed to live forever because of this.

FrostyTheDoo,

Core takeaway: huff sulfur, live forever

fox,

There’s a bunch of creatures that don’t use oxygen but they’re mostly all prokaryotes, since oxygen metabolism unlocks a shitload of energy you can use for being large and complex.
