Can we get a cringe thread going?

LOOK AT ALL THIS SCIENCE!!! XDD
>>8152708
Pretty much anything science related in entertainment media is ultra cringe.
>>8153794
You nerds need to lighten up, that comic is at least a little funny
This beta nu-male right here.
>GURRRRR MY KNOWLEDGE OF SCIENCE MAKES ME SMART!!!!!111 XDDDD
No, retard, being able to memorize things you read on Wikipedia does not equate to a superior intellect.

Stupidest thing I've herd in along time
Most popularizers of science in general. Basically any glorification of science to any degree and treating it like a religion.
>>8153752
Last one is the best one: "Someone found shit using shit-finding tools".
>>8155370
Popularizers of science are the people who will convince normalfags to fund science programs. I hope they preach even louder and louder so those beautiful NIH grants fall from the heavens.
>>8152708
this entire board is a cringefest, ffs

You alright, mate?

I'm guessing that's the Broom Bridge, Cabra, Dublin, where Hamilton carved out
[math] i^2 = j^2 = k^2 = ijk = -1 [/math]
for quatarnions?

It seems that I was correct. Here is a much better view of the site.
Notice that although the plaque has been moved (this photo is dated 2012), the old-time bridge and the site are still clearly the same. You can see it in the arch of the bridge, the bricks right below the plaque in this version, the bend of the ground there, that infrastructure thing in the distance "under" the bridge in both photos, both of which seem fairly recent.
Kind of a seedy spot!
We can even find the origin of OP's image:

They sure know their demographic.

Considering that philosophy is hijacked by left and marxists ideas nowdays the people on the right are not entirely wrong about philosophy
>>8156477
This is a joke right?
>>8156977
Underage?
>>8157005
No, but how the fuck is realizing that ijk = -1 a "flash of genius"?
>>8157016
You seriously do not know the context of this? Did you not learn about quaternions properly? This isn't a discovery ABOUT quaternions, this is the rule that lead to quaternions being invented in the first place. People had tried to extend complex numbers to three dimensions and failed, Hamilton realized that skipping to four dimensions would solve it and carved ijk = -1 on a stone.

You can see him looking at his paper which has the lyrics on them for the majority of the song.

why the fuck is bill nye and black science guy in this picture
this isnt a rage thread.
>>8155370
fun fact: bil nye is not even an actual scientist
he's a mechanical engineer
>>8152708
Op went to maynooth university?

We got this shown in school some years back.
>>8158496
He's not even a mechanical engineer anymore. He's just some guy in a bow tie.
>>8158539
>He's not even a mechanical engineer anymore.
This anon is right, if you don't work on your subject actively it means you are just a guy with a paper saying that your an engineer.
To be a real engineer you need to work on something otherwise everyone reading a science gazette could claim to be a scientist.
>>8158701
>paper saying that you're an engineer
Legally you're NOT an engineer until you have your PE license.
Bill Nye had a bachelor's degree and that's it. He was never really a mechanical engineer.
>>8158714
B-but his CV says he has THREE PhD!!
He is William S. Nye, Ph.D.!!!!!

There's not all that much wrong with this.
>>8158739
He wasn't contributing cringe, he was linking the scene in OP to a scene some of us would recognize. How many times do I get to tell you that you're fucking stupid, King Chem?
