/sci/ - Science & Math

>>12646380
I'll let you use me as a case study. I discovered /sci/ in late 2017 as a hs junior. My midday class was to TA for the IT department, in the basement, and I used this empty block of time in my schedule to dick around on the internet. One day a TA from earlier in the morning left /pol/ open on one of our machines. 4chan had never appealed to me prior to that day, but I was bored and curious if there were other boards on 4chan so I loaded the front page to see what was there. Checked out some of the other boards, spent a few seconds on /ck/, /k/, /pony/, etc., didn't waste time reading more than one or two threads so I got fucking blindsided when I decided I wanted to see what a 4chan math board looked like. I had only just "discovered" math earlier that year after reading the Erdos wiki article, /sci/ was nothing like anything I've ever seen. This was one of the most transformative events in my life. I remember it better than losing my virginity. I would like to point out that this event probably ensured that I would never have a career (but it was worth it).

Check this out, here is one of my earliest shitposts:

As you can see, it's a wojack; a *feels* wojack, but a wojack just the same.

I also posted the occasional ragepepe, but I tended not to post standard pepes because they blended in with the other frogs in the catalogue, so I only posted the flashy ones to maximize the visibility of my autism.

Took me another few weeks after that post until I finally woke up to the crippling retardation of my fellow wojack/frogposters. My morning classes were really boring so I wasted a lot of time daydreaming, by midday I'd usually daydreamed up one or two posts that would be funny to read on /sci/. It had to be amusing to me before I considered posting it, so I tended to be creative and original whenever I posted something.

It's a newfag phase. You need to ingratiate yourself with the /sci/ culture before you grow out of it, and this takes a while.
