    The famous equation includes momentum so I always chuckle when they only show E=mc2

    what I want to know is where do all these stock photos and movies and tv shows get those awesome sharpies that allow you write on windows so crisply? whenever i write on a window with a sharpie it always looks like shit.

    I want satisfying movie sharpies.

        Also, they work great only when they’re new.

        My brother in law made a lighted glass board during covid so he could write in mid-air while facing the camera at the same time. He used light-colored whiteboard pens and a dark background.

        All that’s missing was to write in reverse because the camera was on the other side!

    I really don’t get why there’s never any effort when doing l this kind of “stock art” math/science.

    So many fake chemicals, so many equations that are completely meaningless… all of those t-shirts that say “what part of [UNINTELLIGIBLE SCRIBBLING] do you not understand?”

    Is it really that much effort to crack open a linear algebra textbook or look at an actual equation sheet? I always feel sniped by that shit, I tried to read it and figure out what it is but it’s always just a mix of completely random stuff, with half of it truncated to the point of meaninglessness.

    Hidden behind all the memeing is a sad truth of the world all of you refuse to face

    Humans value the appearance of competence over actual competence. An actor in a lab coat is trusted more than an actual scientist because the actor has spent years of his life appearing to be what he is not, and the scientist is too busy practicing science to worry about appearances

    It is why we have a racist reality tv show actor as president

    And none of you will take responsibility for your part

        Ok have you personally taken responsibility for the fact that your media consumption has made your worldview delusional? Nope? Ok then I am not making an assumption, I am stating human nature

      You have no idea whether people here take responsibility or do you assume this because nobody else points out this highly simplified analysis?

      Humans value the appearance of competence over actual competence.

        Just because it’s simple doesn’t mean people accept it or act to change their behaviors on it

        And every facet of life reflects this. The highest paid aren’t the most competent, but the ones with a carefully cultivated appearance of competence
