Yes, the allusion to “bear” is the giveaway. As for guinea pig, that’s a slang term from back home in the late '80s.
You see, I was born and grew up on the western side of urban Pennsylvania — back then, most of my time was spent hanging out at the local school’s playground. Frequently, we’d play basketball, except this one time that two hoodlums beat me up. My mom got so scared from this that she sent me out to California to live with her sister and brother-in-law.
Sorry, you seem to have lost the thread. We’re talking about scary things that happen movies, not current daily real-world issues which could really use our focus but we’re to involved in the media.
In simplest terms, statisticians are stereotypically known for wanting to simplify curves. So, if you see a plot graph of data and notice a cloud of points that appear to angle in a certain direction, statisticians will sometimes draw a line from the first average point to the last average point and say that line represents the data. So the joke is that statisticians throw out the individual data and say the average represents the real world, so three left and three right equals and average of a direct hit.
For the physicist, they’re known for representing everything as spheres to simplify their math and create approximate calculations. This means that back-of-the-envelope calculations will get you close but won’t be precise.
Mathematicians are said to only calculate for one variable at a time, in this case, trajectory without accounting for wind or air resistance. Mathematicians also often joke about using “dots in space.”
The overall joke is that these are three incredibly intelligent people abusing the most boiled down versions of their fields and failing terribly because they refuse to experience the world in anything other than numbers and figures.
I hope you are now able to enjoy the joke more, although I imagine it’s now more tedious than enjoyable.

I was gonna tell you to be careful with that JIDF stuff cuz conspiracies lead to blah blah blah and then did a quick look on ecosia. Jesus Christ my people suck sometimes…
The great thing that 95 hamsters and farting so much that you need 95 hamsters have in common is that visitors already know exactly what they’re in for based on the smell.
Are you suggesting something like the tin cans with a string in the middle, but replacing the string with a hose. We’re gonna need some government subsidies on our farts because eventually one of us is going to overproduce and kill the other in a horrific explosion.
