I did a study, and my findings are stunning. People with arachnophobia react with fear when confronted with spiders.
And I never even went to university. I posted my findings on Facebook and now I’m officially a scientist.
Sometimes I feel like this is how people are doing “studies”. I’m pretty sure this article is from the Onion, but the “research” I’ve read about lately isn’t far from this satirical one. Many are on the ‘no shit Sherlock’ level. The only thing I can think of reading it is “did you seriously waste precious resources and time on this bullshit?” like “studies” proving obviously made up lies from Trump as untrue, which it clearly is because rules of physics etc. You don’t need a PhD to prove he’s full of shit. Please, use your brain on finding a cure for cancer instead.
Science doesn’t let you just assume things that seem pretty obvious, you actually have to test the basic hypothesis so you have something to base future work on. Otherwise all the work to follow is suspect and can get thrown out because an assumption turns out to be false, which is a fairly common occurrence actually. That’s why scientists, who aren’t known to be stupid people, actually do the research.
I recognize The Onion’s headline font.
mad that subnautica 2 is DOA
It is? What did I miss?
but glad that this reminded me I was in the middle of playing through SOMA before I got distracted by a new book series
Now cause a fire.
A fire? At a seaparks?
I’ve seen a lot of those studies, lately
Just get over it.
