Us-vs-them attitudes are super cool and good.

People like you would think that.

Edit: /s, since it apparently wasn't obvious.

Generally I do agree with that statement. But I think this can be taken in a lighthearted manner. Not every joke needs to be so PC to the point where you're afraid to say anything and all humor is lost. Humor is subjective tho so I think it's fair to not like the joke.

Literally just a person talking in a group to other people. How is this a science meme?

When you work at a university the marketing department is always a meme.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 1 month ago (2 children)

When I was in college, the science department was a group of people at a table going, "Hey nerd! I bet you like computers, don't you?"

And I did and I walked over.

It's mainly funny, because all the women look bored out of their mind. It makes it look like they're letting Greg blather on, even though none of his points are novel to them. And Greg has such a massive ego that he doesn't notice no one is listening to him.

Obviously, yes, Greg probably is just a person without ego talking normally. But him being the only dude in the picture and the only one talking, the mansplaining interpretation is a little too close for comfort, which makes it funny.

I’m more intrigued by what appears to be a ghost arm behind his right shoulder.

I choose to believe the more wholesome version that this is their gay, autistic, and genuinely endearing friend who got started on his special interest without realizing that nobody else cared, and his friends otherwise like him enough that they're trying to figure out how to move the conversation forward without hurting his feelings after they all lost interest minutes ago.

"So during Star Trek V: The Final Frontier, Spock is passing through decks in the Enterprise, and we see one called Deck 78. Now you see, this class of Enterprise only has 23 decks, and so unless we assume someone misnamed this deck, how did this one get here? Some fans have speculated that maybe maybe Q put it there as a practical joke to confuse the audience, but why would Q use the number 78 specifically? This could be a reference to the episode All Our Yesterdays in The Original Series which is production code 78. In this episode, Spock reverts to being emotional like his primitive ancestors after traveling back through time, and this could be hinting to the idea that he secretly feels emotions for his half-brother Sybok who's the antagonist of the movie."

How is that more wholesome than "person speaking in a group"?

[–] [email protected] 26 points 1 month ago (7 children)

The interpretation in the rest of this thread is that this man is being a sexist, condescending douchebag to his peers. I hope "overly enthusiastic about your favorite subjects" is better than that.

All of those faces look really annoyed.

If it doesn't scream "mansplaining" it at least says "this meeting could have been an email".

How about a masters in propaganda on social media?

[–] [email protected] 41 points 1 month ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 month ago (2 children)

The term "public relations" is literally propaganda to make propaganda look better. It was just called propaganda before WWII but then there was a propaganda campaign to increase local resistance to propaganda from the Nazis and then the Communists. And it worked, so they needed more propaganda to get the local propaganda to work again.

Mainsplaining sounds more like a liberal arts degree to me.

This meme gave me some comic relief, thanks for posting! But the comments here are horrible. I would like to forget how lemmy is mostly cis dudes but it's moments like these it gets super apparent... :(

It's so funny because he looks so sincere and precious and all the women look so annoyed but polite haha

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 month ago (3 children)

Those women are waiting for him to finish so they can correct the numerous errors in his scientific reasoning.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 1 month ago

I don't think so. You can tell by their billion miles stare they don't have much of a choice but to put up with his crap for now.

It's true. He's the student trying to work through his proposal.

Is that a Risk map? Is he mansplaining the Siam Camp strategy?

The comments in this posts have everything I hoped to not see again once I left reddit for Lemmy 😭

Like I've been mansplined before and it wasn't fun. And no, women are less likely to do that because of societal reasons, not genetics 😂. I'm not even sure if some of the comments come from scientists, with the amount of confusion over social/genetic causes.

Anyways, if you think someone needs help with something, always ask. And when talking to someone, ESPECIALLY if it's a colleague/classmate, don't try dumbing down the conversation unless you know the person you're talking to won't understand it.
