>>6586382
literally every line is wrong
there isn't even one thing that's accurate
for a graph or chart to be funny you should mix in some truth; all that is is stupid and lolsorandumb

>>6586387
but it's completely correct

>>6586308
It's well known creative people drank absinthe because it got you drunk but didn't slow your mind down. Helps with creative problem solving. (sorry no hallucinations)

>A recent study at the University of Illinois tested the creative problem solving ability of a group of men who were given vodka cranberry and snacks and asked to solve brain teasers. The results were starkly different for the tispy group, which had a blood alcohol concentration level of 0.075, versus the control group:
>Astonishingly, those in the drinking group averaged nine correct questions to the six answers correct by the non-drinking group. It also took drunk men 11.5 seconds to answer a question, whereas non-drunk men needed 15.2 seconds to think. Both groups had comparable results on a similar exam before the alcohol consumption began.

>Implying singularityfags, optimists, and realists agree on current or past level of technology
>implying technology growth isn't bounded or that we're aren't close to the limit
>implying human life in it's current form is sustainable for more than a few decades

What's funny is people don't see the writing on the wall.

There is far more truth to this than I like.

Hysteresis curve.

Meaning we could have came from the top curve down to the bottom.

From infinitely high technology in the past, down into today's tech at today's time, back into historical tech in the past

My brother has set up camp on the peak of Mount Stupid. Every day he wastes time watching 60 second YouTube videos on cience and math, and then instead of actually further researching the topics that interest him, he just reiterates what the video said in an attempt to seem smart. Whenever you ask him a question that wasn't answered in the video, he just says "I dunno" and changes the subject.

>>6586511

First of all, nice dubs to the both of you.
But more importantly, if you're so smart then you should be able to see that being happy isn't hard at all. The chart should really reach a trough when people believe they know everything and the world is hopeless and terrible, but then begin climbing when they get smart enough to realize there are others like them. The majority of the population is happy with their idiocy, but we aren't. So we form alliances in the underground. Being more intelligent than everyone else, we're capable of great things, plus we aren't preoccupied with things like popularity and social status. If you are, then you probably aren't as smart as you think you are.

>>6586886
The chart is more about the assumption the stupid people are happy. They aren't, but it is a fairly simple skill to acquire the behaviours of happiness, and there is some social pressure to maintain such behaviours. Smarter people see past such social pressures.

Not actually mine

Anyone have the graph of attractiveness vs crazy?

P.s. there's two theories on arguing with women. Neither of them work.

Fuck I want to be a lab rat.

Get drunk and try to solve some problems.
And you are getting payed for this

>>6586403

you're like one of those fuckers at the end of the 19th century who thought that they were close to solving science, and the 20th century would only be for refining what we had already discovered

there's no guarantee that's what's happening now, but dismissing new discoveries because you're too stupid to think of them yourself is ridiculous

>>6586533
>There is far more truth to this than I like.

It's actually completely wrong. Smarter people are happier in general.

Why do you educate yourself instead of being a retarded science fan

>>6586476
Malbolge is easy

>>6586890
That makes sense. I'm happier than I've ever been, but my normalfag friends always ask me why I never smile. I just hate being fake. Smiling is an involuntary action, you should have to do it manually just to indicate to everyone that you're happy.

>>6586934
One time I made 20 bucks through the power of SCIENCE! My university's chemistry course was conducting a study on new methods of online teaching. Me and this other girl I didn't know spent 30 minutes working through a few different types of problems and got payed for it. Also, the test conductor noted that I was the only one of their testers that actually understood the concept of a mole well. Basically I got paid to be told that I was smart.

how is this funny?
also you forgot the caption, which explains everything

>>6588153
Balls are being thrown from the origin of a distance x height graph. It's hilarious.

>>6588156
Is it some sort of meta joke?

>>6586249

>>6588160
I am completely unsure if it is sad on your part or mine but I am genuinely confused as to why you don't find it as funny as I do.

>>6588167

>>6588168
well I found that comment pretty funny.
maybe it's because I know exactly what that graph is from.
That the green ball is quadratic viscous drag, blue is linear drag, and black is with no drag.

>>6588168
Explain it then, because I fail to see what's funny in it.

>>6588156
Do you find it funny when people do math with letters too?

>>6588278
I actually do because no one knows how to do basic algebra

This isn't even a comeback, I'm 100% serious. Have you ever tried to tutor someone in math? The most frustrating thing in the universe is explaining the most basic principle of logic and watching them look at you like you're some sort of god for knowing this.

>>6588187

>tips fedora

>>6588194
I see it more that you would rather not explain you vast knowledge to people out of the fear of info dumping about shit no one understand and mount stupid citizens interjecting your explanations.

>>6588290
I've tutored Pre-cal students. Not a single one actually understands trig, trig identities, partial fraction decomposition etc. Teaching goddman walls.

>>6588675
Also I tutored my little brother in calculus. Chain rule was completely beyond him no matter what I did, hell, derivatives/integrals for anything that weren't polynomials didn't get through to him.

He'd fuck up \[ \int 1/xln(x)\,dx.\] despite the formula being right in front of his face.

He is in biology so I don't think he really needs it. He does well in biology though which puzzles me why the simplest math is beyond him.

>>6588290

This. So much this.
