You can usually detect those by the number of downvotes.

    Not really. A lot of surface level correct, but deeply wrong answers, get upvotes on Reddit. It’s a lot of people seeing it and “oh, I knew that!” discourse.

    Like when Reddit was all suddenly experts on CFD and Fluid Dynamics because they knew what a video of laminar flow was.

    That's what I meant. I have seen actual M.D.s being downvoted even after providing proof of their profession. Just because they told people what they didn't want to hear.
    I guess that's human nature.

    I get you. Didn’t mean to come across as a “that guy”. So completely agree with you. The laminar flow Reddit shit infuriated me because I have my masters in Mech Eng and used to do a lot of CFD. People were talking out of their ass on “I know laminar flow!”

    Well, see, it’s more than that. It’s not just a visual thing and…

    “Ahhhh! I know laminar flow! Downvote the heretic!”
