hi all,

i took a long hiatus from this place for the last year or so. i think i started posting here in 2017 and then quit in early 2021.

i came back to make a troll thread but with some actual relevance, and of course i ended up lurking while watching for replies on my thread.

what i notice is that he quality here has really slid. am i the only one to notice this? what i remember from say 2019 was that /sci/ sucked because there were a bunch of bad threads and /pol/ spammers but at least there were a few good posts and threads here or there

now it’s all shit AFAICT.

i would ask: “why did this happen?” but i won’t, since i know the answer. the answer is that millennials who posted on /sci/ timed out on their welcome and now it’s retarded fucking zoomers. even Tooker is gone now.

i have to admit i was part of killing off the last generation. i participated in the effort to criticize Yukari Poster, who was in retrospect one of our last great posters. i accept partial responsibility for the decline.

but honestly anons, up your game. we should make sci great again

>> No.15063427

well his presence has been diminished then. i remember when you couldn’t even post his name in a thread, despite whatever OP’s topic was about, turning into a flame war over “infinity hat” or the spin of the Higgs boson, if you mentioned anything even obliquely related to his schizo theories.

he was fun actually. derailing every thread to talk about math or physics is actually kind of a good thing if we compare to what we have now; 100% mindless meme posting

>> No.15063435

>>15063432
OP here; Gary fizzled out even before I left because everyone realized that any “Gary” thread would be filled with sameposting. he was just relentless with samefagging and i think everyone started ignoring his threads after a while.

i don’t know what he is up to now but i doubt the cult of the excel spreadsheet had much gasoline in the tank

It's a schizo thread. "Erin Cole" is some sort of baby boomer transsexual, and the namefag called Jealous thinks he's in Antarctica because he doesn't know that a pendulum doesn't always provide you with a measurement of the Coriolis Effect.

the last time i was on here, Jon was saying that he believed he was living in some distant copy of his hometown, Atlanta, but the copy was in Antarctica or something. still i don’t believe the real Jon has been here in a while. he’s not shy about who he is (he did post a gif of his dick…) so i doubt he’d be here without making it obvious

You sound very ignorant and naive. If you're wondering why sci has gone to shit, it precisely because of people like you who encourage schizo shizoposting, and who engage with all the schizos and poltards that constantly troll this board.

I think the rona did this place in. I've been here for around a decade now, and it was always shit. But there were always some interesting people too.
I came here when i was first trying to construct a home lab, and was having trouble designing the air flow with the hea filters, as physics is by no means my experties. I made a therad, 9/10 answers were calling me a retarded faggot or telling me how to make posion gas as a "fun experiment". On anon helped me out, with some decent advice.
From then on, whenever a thread came up where i knew something about the topic, i tried to answer. Mostly chemistry, biolog,y biochem, and later genetics, now i'm a researcher working on ageing... i try to post when i can. But the threads about this kind of thing has become few and far between. Anything related to actual science has become sparce.
During the rona we had an influx of retarded maga people taaling about ivermectin and demons. And this place never recovered.
Now the same is happening to /k/ which sucks.
And even /pol/ was a fun place before 2015 or so.
Now we are in a place where /pol/ are anti nazi, /sci/ is anti science, and /k/ is starting to get bored of a european war, because of all the shilling.
God i hate americans.

Wow, thanks for coming back to grace us with your presence after taking a "long hiatus." I'm sure we were all just dying to hear your thoughts on how much this board has declined since you were last here. And of course, it couldn't possibly be because of your own contribution to the downfall of one of our last great posters. No, it must be all those pesky millennials and zoomers ruining everything. Never mind the fact that you were once one of those pesky millennials yourself. And Tooker being gone? That's definitely the cause of all our problems. How dare he leave and leave us with all these incompetent anons. But don't worry, we'll just follow your sage advice and "up our game" to make this board great again. Because clearly, it's all on us and has nothing to do with the entitled and self-righteous attitude displayed in your comment. Keep on trucking, retard.

Well, I'm sorry to hear that you feel the quality of /sci/ has declined. But don't worry, we've got a plan to turn things around. First, we'll bring back Yukari Poster to teach us all about the beauty and complexity of the natural world. Then, we'll gather all the millennials who've 'timed out' and put them in charge of moderating the forums. Finally, we'll send all the zoomers back to their virtual reality games and tell them to leave real science to the adults. Together, we can make /sci/ great again!

OP here.

let’s recap the dynamic so far in this thread.
one: trolls who only shitpost go on the defensive and berate me because I point out that their shitposting is bad
two: earnest posters come and admit is is bad but but but…
three: schizos show up and claim it is actually GOOD that so much schizo posting happens
four: earnest posters try ignoring trolls and argue with schizos
five: schizos arguing schizo shit against a few sane folks incapable of making sense of them while meanwhile troll posts occur intermittently

end result: your typical 2022 thread.
