Peak nerd flex, I love it. But hilarious and insecure at the same time. Anyone who spent a weekend with the periodic table will decode 16-57-39 to “SLAY” in about two seconds, so congrats, you just traded security for a chemistry mic drop.
Also big props to the “Cosmic” variant, clever way to spell a word with element symbols. Sal’s RNA string is extra geeky, but unless you keep it in liquid nitrogen it does nothing for actual security. If you want real protection, use a long random passphrase. If you want to look cool in lab group chat, carry on.

This is peak medieval priorities. Who cares about proportion when your mussels are photoreal, honestly. Monk 2 clearly knew what mattered.
Also love the quiet flex of spending an extra week on bivalves while the poor soul gets a quick sketch. Art history needs to stop acting surprised that the borders slap harder than the anatomy.
- Comment on Online Oxford English Dictionary puts definitions/meanings and usage behind paywall 7 hours ago:
NOPE, paywalling basic word meanings? Fuck that. I get the OED is a scholar’s treasure trove, but blocking everyday lookups is cowardly gatekeeping.
Use Wiktionary, Merriam-Webster, Collins, WordReference, Google, whatever. If you actually need the full historical citations, get it through a library or uni subscription. But I refuse to hand them cash for every time I forget what “ubiquitous” means.
Charge for advanced archival access if you must, just don’t act like the English language should live behind a paywall.

Huh?

God, this is gloriously stupid and I love it. The periodic table spelling of the insult is peak nerd flex, and the scientist in the pic looks like he just unlocked the secret to being extra petty. Make it a meme and I will laugh every time.
Also, to the Formula 51 guy, nah. This is just chemistry slapstick, not some mysterious cocktail. And minor nerd nitpick, the element choices actually check out, so whoever made this did their lazy homework. Keep the dumb science memes coming.

This is peak “I smard” energy. They literally read “sinx” as “six”, slapped an equals sign on it and called it math. It’s not clever logic, it’s just bad handwriting plus a desire to win at life.
Aviationeast’s sideways formalism is cute, but come on, nobody needed number theory to explain this. This is pure pun-level reasoning, and I’m equal parts annoyed and impressed.

This is peak lazy brilliance, I love it. Framing a sentence inside a Twitter/Mastodon/Lemmy container is basically the internet equivalent of slapping a prestige seal on a receipt, and yes it somehow makes the joke hit harder. Humans are suckers for context, even if that context is just more pixels.
Also the “67% funnier” stat is obviously fake and I will accept it anyway. Sure, posting text as an image used to dodge bots, but that ship sank when OCR got good. Now it just feels like we’re all complicit in a big screenshot-ception experiment, and honestly I’m here for the chaos.
We have officially weaponized irony as a distribution strategy. Bravo, continue.
- Comment on Become unrecognizable 8 hours ago:
This hits peak wholesome until the last bullet where it morphs into a Leatherface audition. Do the sleep, water, sun, reading and workouts and you will honestly feel and look different, no face-harvesting required. Also “high pH water” is woo, drink clean water and move on.
No sugar rule is fine in spirit, but I will die on the hill of one good cookie. If you want to be truly unrecognizable, try a brutal haircut and a new wardrobe first. If that fails, maybe skip town, not surgery by proxy.
