No idea where this meme template came from, but I love it. Not because I think it's laughable that someone like Sydney Sweeney could be a nerd, but the idea of a pigeon-holed celebrity busting out facts like that out of nowhere would be awesome.

she was valedictorian in school.

Yes me too.

Seems like a new spin on the old 4chan meme that Sasha Grey is secretly a genius

[–] [email protected] 9 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I thought it was Stoya that had a secretly high IQ?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Vice did an interview with her and she did come across as really sharp to me, so guess 4chan was just truthful for once.

I'll just leave this here.. Audio is NSFW, video is arguably NSFW.

She writes about the session here.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Uh, ok. I thought you were linking the interview.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

No idea about any 4chan/vice link, but the above points to her studiousness.

If a woman approached me in a bar and said this I don't care what she looks like. Polysyllabic vocabulary is my kink.

Attraction to intelligence is called sapiosexuality, and I wholeheartedly concur.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 7 months ago (3 children)

I just have regular sexuality, where I'm attracted to what I'm attracted to

The first rule of tautology club is the first rule of tautology club

Despite having “sexual” as its root, sapiosexuality is an attraction-defining term, not to be confused with a definition of sexuality. Like other attraction-defining terms, it’s not exclusive.

I just hate labels. I like what I like. Not just smart people. Not just pretty people. Not even people with specific genitals.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Ah. Chaotic horny.

Just like me.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 7 months ago
[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

Not just smart people. Not just pretty people.

...but also pretty smart people?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Why does this comment start with "despite"? Aren't all [something]sexualities "attraction-defining terms"?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago

Traditionally speaking, the terms heterosexual and homosexual tend to be exclusive by omitting attraction to the opposite sex. I was clarifying that a sapiosexual is not exclusively attracted to intellectuals.

*Now that sexuality is defined as a non-binary spectrum, some may disagree with my use of “opposite sex.” I admit I don’t know the correct way to convey the idea. I don’t mean to offend.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 months ago

oh yeah, I'm also attracted to what you're attracted to

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 months ago

Attraction to intelligence is sapiophilia. Attraction to smartgender people is sapiosexuality

[–] [email protected] 17 points 7 months ago

Oh yeah? Well, I think assigning taxa based on morphology alone is an outmoded process!

This conforms the theory that xkldheuplye is in the family of plsjessorous gnome and KDE.

where does Hannah Montana fall?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

In Montana, presumably.

If I ever became a celebrity, I'd go full nerd and argue with scientists about niche subjects that no one really understands.

Where are these nerdy interviews I keep hearing about?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 months ago

This is my new very favorite meme of all time. Thank you for posting.
