i like this one. really captures the shittiness of /sci/ in 2018 (i.e., before 2020).

what happened on 4/10/2018 is the black hole photos got released and some chick got media coverage.
you can see /sci/ experienced an unprecedented traffic surge, way more than typical, even for more important or impactful findings.

this influx of crossboard / off-site shitposters flooded the board with threads for 2-3 days, derailing every thread on the topic and spamming new threads to criticize her. they even slid the math general, lol.
from the level of discussion it was clear most of them had no clue about the science at all, nor did they give a shit. they were only here to obsess over some chick getting 1 iota of credit for a scientific accomplishment.

/sci/ doesn't hate her, it's retarded crossboarders (mostly /pol/) shilling. I'm not judging, but in the most literal sense of the word, it's sexism. They believe that because she is a woman, she should not be the face of the team, because women cannot into STEM.

Of course they know such an argument doesn't make sense, and they do aspire to arguing with logic. So they go with this contribution argument instead.

But notice you don't hear a peep about "contribution" when they're circle jerking over Elon Musk or over random Nobel winners where indian grad students and underlings did 95% of the work.

it's simple. the more esoteric the subject, the harder it is to discuss it on 4chan, purely because threads disappear too quickly.
and /sci/ got a lot worse around late 2015 too
there are some smart posters here but to really get anything from them you need a way to save the state of a discussion (e.g. a wiki) so your discussion can resume after being slid by a torrent of racial iq and climate change shill threads

It's just a fact that /sci is overrun by crossboarders

>You assume that people with opposing opinions are a mob.
and he's right
thousands of r9k incels and polniggers who've never written a line of code flooded /sci/ and /g/ when some girl got recognized for her contributions on an international astronomy experiment, and they shitposted the board into oblivion for a day
it wasn't 1 samefag

>you are part of your own problem
>seeking understanding of conspiracy theories
this is what these faggots want us to believe
if you actually read papers, take time to weigh facts, know more than just pop science or high school math, then you're the mob
and if you post a shit conspiracy / race science / "i fucking hate science / academia" thread, you're a soldier standing alone against the raving mob, bravely spamming your infopics all by yourself.

>The absolute shame is when they go to /v/ to bitch about sheanigua in a videogame, they don't know dick shit about videogames, when they go to /co/ to bitch about womyn thor, they don't know dick shit about comics, and when they come here to beg and plead for a post-doctorate opinion
the worst part is when they come here and larp as scientists even though the only data they know is what's in their unsourced infopics
the day of the blackhole photo they swarmed /g/ and /sci/ , suddenly they're all programmers and astronomers

>/pol/ and /r9k/
pretty much, pic related.
it's a waste of time to even interface with them.

most are brainlets in the traditional sense.
still others, despite having normal or high IQ, have paranoid or schizoid personality disorders and are de facto brainlets. There are millions of these in the world and they can finally congregate and feed off each other thanks to the internet

when they get blown out by studies, facts, logic, etc., they just let the thread die (or even delete it themselves) then remake it
tooker and his timesand are a great example of this but at least it's legitimate /sci/ material and actually thought-provoking, not just retarded political bullshit
talking with them is like pissing into the wind. read a book instead

You realize hundreds of scientists, each more autistic than you, collaborated to design this experiment
Except they had 4 different independent teams using 4 different algorithms and they all came up with roughly the same picture, so what we do know is that the image looks like a ring
Pic related: /sci/ on the day of the black hole image's release
