Guys, they're tweeting some of the fake science quotes

>Twitter
And I give a shit why exactly?...

hah! i know.
facebook tards are getting pretty well trolled by it

Spreading ignorance is much more fun and easier then spreading knowledge.
Can't wait to see all these retarded Facebook and Twitter fags using these as facts.

careful. once you open pandoras box of retardation and faggotry, then there's no way to put the lid back on.
you might have inadvertently made millions of slightly stupid people a little bit more stupid.

although i do kinda like the idea that maybe in a few weeks NDT might have to make a tweet or a statement saying "these stupid quotes are NOT FROM ME!"

That won't happen with mine (I haven't seen Dawkin's anywhere, and my other OC is Gauss) but heh, I guess I should take my pics getting out of here as a compliment? Only problem is that the typo now annoys me.

The fake Turing quote in your pic is idiotic as fuck. I mean it's not even funny. You might as well have written "fart" all over the picture and it would be the same level of humor.

[Anonymous No.5973881]

>>5973875
oh, the dawkins OC will definitely get out their, you can guarantee it.
far more likely to spread than the NDT ones, considering that he's more famous.

holy shit that post apocalyptic Civ 2 wasteland.....

nigga WHAT DID YOU DO?!!

[Anonymous No.5973892]

>>5973877
well, not quite that bad.
but i dont like it when they try too hard. it kinda ruins it, because some people who MIGHT have fallen for it, will end up not doing if there's something obviously very stupid that gives it away as not being a genuine quote.

like the OP's image where they call him "black science man"
it's obviously not a real quote, or at the very least you'd think the person reporting it is a fucking moron, which makes you a lot less likely to trust it.

just have a real picture of him, some fancy font, his real name ,and an almost-believable quote to the very very scientifically illiterate, and that's potential comedy gold right there.

ask Internet Chronicle
>>5973877
your just mad because it's not your pic the one getting spread #swag #rekt
>>5973881
I don't know, most of the people that could run into it are fans that would get it's fake, but maybe some creationist qill fall for it someday. It's just that Turing got there before, and I saw that more unlikely.
>>5973892
I guess my pics are quite bad at that then. This for example would only work for someone that knows the 100 anecdote and few things more about Gauss.

obviously dawkins fans will immediately know it's a fake. but you can bet that as soon as creationists see it, they'll definitely believe it, and spread it as much as they can.

[Anonymous No.5973908]

>>5973905
I didn't even believe it would spread to other boards, I was just trying to get a giggle with other /sci/ bros.

wonder if someone will actually try to use it for a debate and how many people would have to actually bother to show there is no source

[Anonymous No.5973909]

>people putting 4chan OC somewhere outside of 4chan

This has never happened before!

yeh, probably best to do ones that don't require any rare knowledge about a specific persons character, and are just more general and more likely to spread.
remember, we're appealing to the very very stupid here.
they aint gonna know the 100 anecdote or shit like that

[Anonymous No.5973913]

/killjoy
it's rare for ones from /sci/ to spread as much as this
i think it's funny

As I said, my intention wasn't to troll tumblr or twitter or damage any of these guy's reputation, just to get a few laughs here, but hey, I'll think about it. I guess Bill Nye, Sagan, Darwin and Neil are easy targets.

[Anonymous No.5973925]

>>5973923
people have been trolling them and quote-mining/fake-quoting for years.
they're public figures, and are used to that kinda flak.
you dont have to feel bad, and you aint damaging their reputation to anyone who isnt already retarded.
remember, it's the creationtards that will spread the fake-dawkins ones, and other shit-headed science-illiterates that will spread ones by NDT or turing without understanding them.

it IS funny. and it's pretty cool that you're the one who did it. did some of them anyway.

First time I facepalmed irl with a pic. Whats more funny is that my 10th grade class back at the time would support it with all their wills, because even the implication of god not existing was discarded. If it contains a proof of god, no matter how stupid it is, it s accepted.

>>5973937
hah! that particular pic is one of my favourites. it's fucking brilliant, i wish i had made it.
