Not sure whether the virgin or the chad is cringier in this one, but both should be dragged out into the street and shot

I never visited that subreddit before this thread.
Had a quick look, it seems okay. Definitely more left leaning than /sci/. The threads seem to focus less on discussion and more on just showing interesting things and leaving the discussion to the commentators. I wouldn't really visit there if I had a specific interest in a math or science discipline, I'd rather just find the subreddit for it and ask questions there.

Better than sci except there seems to be 0 math

Threads on specific subreddits for mathematics, different scientific and engineering disciplines, etc. and stackexchange for math, physics, cstheory, etc. all have a much higher quality community and post value than /sci/. You get to talk about actual stem without any blast of insecurities and shitposting you get here.

I hate that alien soooo much. It’s smile is just slyly mocking me

Just had a look. Yep, it's reddit. What else is there to even say

Better than this place for actually discussing science.

[Anonymous No.10437762]

This isn’t really a good place to ask. People harbor a false sense of superiority here because they’re a bit edgier, a bit more right leaning, and they use the “naughty words that npc’s would never dare to use.” This doesn’t make them better or more developed than reddit, but it does lull them into thinking their selection of 10 shallow topics is more meaningful than the competition. The reality is that /sci/ is just as, if not more circlejerk-y, full of more insecure mediocre students, and completely devoid of value as your average subreddit for math and science. If you want good discussion, make a stackexchange account and join an irc or academics discord.

This, /sci/ is the frat house of STEM discussion.

[Anonymous No.10437770]

>>10437762
Our sense of superiority is justified because it's more fun and interesting to post here than reddit. If you disagree with this you are objectively wrong

[Anonymous No.10437783]

>>10437770
Bait
>more fun and interesting
Neither of these are qualifiers. But even so, they’re not easily justifiable
>fun
is posting the same 15 meme threads and getting the same 5 responses “fun?”
>interesting
see above

/sci/ may be more fun because the anonymity allows discussions to be less formal. Plus, the fact that all of STEM is condensed into one board allows more varied discussion. But /sci/ is definitely more toxic than an equivalent subreddit. Just look at any thread where someone asks simple questions about a field that they're not familiar with but is interested. The poor guy gets insulted for it.

[Anonymous No.10437810]

"Toxic" is a loaded word. The phenomenon it describes exists, but if you're used to it the lack of "toxicity" in other places just emphasizes their smarmy and false character. It's been a long time since I felt any negative emotional reaction to being insulted on 4chan, except when there's a chance I might get btfo about something

The skeptic seems like what retards think skepticism is. The rationalist doesn't even make sense. Read Day Cart.

the toxicity of 4chan imo has a "nothing personal" feeling to it, I feel comfortable saying things here that literally everyone else in the thread disagrees with, probably largely because of the anonymity. reddit is the opposite, fake camaraderie and constant cock comparing, and ugh don't contradict the hivemind you incel shitlord baka I need to lie down

[Anonymous No.10438188]

>>10438098
Things 4chin wants to contradict the hivemind about, directly from the catalog:
Smoking isn't harmful
0.999 =/= 1
Evolution never happened
Climate (((change)))
How old are the pyramids, really?
Your worth and sense of self-worth a.k.a. IQ

[Anonymous No.10438200]

4chan to me is an information database, everything leads to something interesting somewhere, you have to filter the good and the bad, Reddit is more like a pattern of consistent information that can either be accurate at most but provide no insights, and at worst is inaccurate and sometimes false due to people being swayed by the fear of appearing to be "wrong".

Nerd. Correct observation though, dork.

This. I once tried to explain why Star Trek Discovery is trash, because it literally isn't flimed like Star Trek should be filmed, and I got dogpiled.
Heres the video I posted:

Tell me what insights did you gain on this board? I only come here to waste time and laugh.
This board is the epicenter of nerd humor on the web and its only saving grace.

You see a mention of a subject, in a meme post, you google said subject "Interesting!"
