You must be tenured.
As a random commenter, clearly the sample size is too small and they mixed up correlation and causation
The contribution to the community is weak. I recommend the authors to work on their study design and to basically redo everything in good.

Nerd².
That's how we science.
Mac : This is Aristotle. Thought to be the smartest man on the planet. He believed that the Earth was the center of the universe, and everybody believed him because he was so smart. Until another smartest guy came around, Galileo, and he disproved that theory making Aristotle and everybody else on earth look like a
[slaps sticker on board]
Mac : BITCH! 'Course Galileo then thought that comets were an optical illusion and there's no way that the moon could cause the ocean's tides. Everybody believed that because he was so smart. He was also wrong. Making him and everyone else on Earth
[slaps another sticker on board]
Mac : look like a bitch again. And then, best of all, Sir Issac Newton gets born and blows everybody's nips off with his brains. 'Course he also thought he could turn metal into gold and died eating mercury making him yet another stupid
[slaps 3rd sticker on board]
Mac : BITCH! Are you seeing a pattern?
Came here to say that. Stupid science bitches…
First thing I thought of too.
You see, Mister Reynolds....SCIENCE IS A LIAR....SOMETIMES!
I've been saying this for years but everyone just called me a quack.
I can validate that Dasnap has been saying a whole bunch of dumb nerd shit for years.
Well, you're literally a talking duck, Dasquack 🦆
Recently the headlines have actually been way more “study finds something super obvious to be true that most of society took as truth without needing a study. They just lived it in their every day life”
"And now that they have scientific backing instead of gut instinct, maybe something can actually be done. Unless of course people decide "well duh" and completely ignore the findings as they've been doing for decades"
Study finds that toxic trolls exist on X... and that they often cause people to receive hurt feelings!
Next study: overturns results of previous study, under different conditions.
Next study: reaffirms results of first study, and finds that the authors of the second study are dumbasses.
Next study: no u r, but what am I?
Fortunately, despite being done by flawed human beings, science usually manages to finds its way to Truth in the end regardless, it's really quite astonishing how well that works.
Life or a researcher, in a nuthsell. Goddammm
"I already knew that, did we even need a study for this?"

Where can I read these dumb nerd shit. Now I want to read it.
Based on fraudulent papers, funded by some megacorp
So this is what my parents see when I send them articles. Huh.
This seems like something huggbee would say.
shut up you stupid science bitch
