Never reveal your power level, but seriously swallow your pride, apologize to the professor for being glib and disrespectful of the classroom, get that education boii

How was I glib and disrespectful? That's just a way of saying I'm an idiot, relatively speaking. That is obviously not glib and no disrespect was actually intended.

No, I tried that but then he asked where it came from and I told him it was a meme on 4chan. He basically turned me into this kid.

I think 4chan is more well known than some kind of fuliginous den of sin.

Did he make you explain in it because he legitimately did not know? Why would he need for you to explain it to the entire class and not just him? That guy seems like he has a mental illness, that is unfortunate, possibly a control freak.

The other day my friend said something awesome to me and I replied with "That's based as fuck." He was like "huh?," then I realised that people don't say "based" outside the chans, so I just said "I mean... that's cool as fuck dude," and diverted the conversation. This website seeps into your brain and manifests itself in real life speech, which is concerning.

Is a brainlet someone who has been lobotomized by their slavemaster so that the brain scanner doesn't work on them the way it does on regular brains?

Brainlet is a word, it's been in use since the 1800s at least:

1858, Henry Mayhew, The Upper Rhine: The Scenery of Its Banks and the Manners of Its People:

"the railway : an invention which is so thoroughly English that, even supposing it likely to have occurred to any slow Prussian brainlet, it would still have been impossible to have found any other nation (excepting perhaps America) with spirit or capital sufficient to have afforded the plan a trial."

1859, Tait's Edinburgh Magazine, page 522:

"Still, we have in this country Whig writers—that is, party Whig writers, of the regular party guage, assuring the other little brainlets who believe their writings, that Ruskin is an author of equivalent genius to Jeremy Taylor's—a great man—an intellectual pinnacle—merely because he puts his hand to madnesses, because he abuses Protestantism, and thinks that Christians should not mind their own business, but all other people's businesses— exactly what a Whig of the latter-day school does in office, devising conspiracy bills for French people and sending advice to Germans— which they don't want, and don't take well;"

1905, Booth Tarkington, The conquest of Canaan: a novel, page 254:

"I think he told Claudine the same thing when they met, and convinced the tiny brainlet of his sincerity."
