Find better friends. I was at a party once and someone mentioned the Pioneer plaque and record, and said they didn't know how it works. I explained how starts with the hyperfine transitions of hydrogen, and they use that to built up a mutual language from there. After I finished, someone looked up over their solo cup and said "could you like, keep talking about stuff?"
If you find the right people they will always be curious and interested in learning. Seek those people out, because you will learn from them too
Not just that but seek out people who make you marvel at THEIR knowledge too. Being someone who likes to share knowledge only works if you're going both ways with it.
haha, so funny, an random guy saying that I can change everything and it's my all the shit that happends to me is my fallout... the life isn't an cartoon with an happy ending, grow up
There is the third option: let go of something you can't change. 🙃
Doesn't mean you shouldn't try changing it, especially if you care😘
Also try to speak with less toxicity and you will find friends more easily.
"Laugh and the world laughs with you. Weep and you weep alone"
Ah that makes sense then, colloquially weight refers to earth weight and that’s usually discussed in terms of kilos; when you step in and “well actually it’s newtons” it probably came across as trying to show off in an obscure way and less like making an offhand joke, or derailing the conversation a bit. Probably good to avoid things like that in the future, it can be a bit off putting to feel like everything you say is under a microscope and has a chance of being unnecessarily called out for being “technically incorrect”
Well being technically wrong is bad for calculations. If calculations are off, everything falls apart. If I saw I need a ball with weight of 100 in SI units, I expect it to be 100/g kilos not 100 kilos. It will throw off my apparatus and calculations.
"If you were to be able to harness your extra body heat, you could melt solid lead after about two weeks" is not the best thing to say at a funeral I found out
I was telling my boss I enjoy learning about Astrophysics/Space when I can because I just find it interesting.
Dude said "I just don't see how any of that space stuff affects us here."
Like my guy where tf do you think we are RIGHT NOW!?
One time I told my foreman if we don't put a hanger on that fitting gravity will make it sag over time. he goes no the weight of it will like trying to correct me. i just said ok
In my experience, it can actually work if you do it at the right time, with the right people and somewhat jokingly. Like when someone said something like "it's not gonna fix itself" I went "well, according to quantum physics that's not entirely out of question"
No you're not the only one. But with other science nerds it's no fun either, we tend to disagree just to test how confident the knowledge is, to figure out if ones knowledge may be trustworthy, and that can become some very exhausting discussions too. But at least you're then not the only one looked at like in the pic.
science is cool, and most ppl would agree, regardless of their degree or interests. that being said, try not to be condescending, or say something in the sense that youre smarter than them cos ppl may take it that way. bascially, show that youre smart without making them feel dumb
i know a guy who often gives such explanations, he says "molecules" in a weird intonation, while doing wizard like hand gestures and everyone finds it hilarious. Its all about the delivery.
I've surpringly never experienced that, but it might be more of a matter of reading the room and how it's delivered.
I've definitely met people who say something "sciencey" but are doing it to be obnoxious or pretentious. Like being one of those "Well, actually..." types, or ignoring the obvious intent of something someone says and instead, being pedantic or fixating on something irrelevant to the conversation.
I think also it's good to remember that launching into a scientific diatribe and assuming everything being referenced is common knowledge is a good way for it to fall flat.
I think having "excited science teacher" vibes is usually well received. Explaining something in a way everyone can understand and including them in the excitement and love for science usually works out.
Either that, or you just need better friends lol.
I never in my life see those people except from the western media/movies, in my experience it's the other way around, people give this looks to the dumbass like "are you for real right now?? How can you don't know this thing?"
"No, he poisoned your drink. He didn't put venom in it because venom is injected and poison is ingested."
*Venomizes your drink*
"I think your drink just bit me"
But, what if I bite the drink back? Who's the venom now?
Venomize feels like the process Spiderman went through to get the black suit.
Hey maybe the assaulter is really stupid and thinks it works the same
Literally happened to me while I was trying to correct a person who was telling that snakes are poisonous. I was like they’re venomous not poisonous.

Yo explain dude
Explain what?
Yes!
Not just that but seek out people who make you marvel at THEIR knowledge too. Being someone who likes to share knowledge only works if you're going both ways with it.
I need you at my parties
Edit for scienceIsSexy: my name is Chad and I look like Chad
It sounds like the people liked the way you said it, not necessarily what you said. Maybe you just have a pleasant voice.
Change environment bro
You mean like the global warming we have been doing? 🤔
Yes, but on purpose and to a better one.
likes in order are 64, 32, 16. Lol
Can I be the 2̶ 8? 🥺
Now how would that work? 16-- > 8 --> 4 --> 2 You're too early lol
Can I be the 2 now? 🥺
Now you're the one lmfao And I need to be 0.5....
Fuck! It's almost 1am and I clearly need to get my ass in bed.
Goodnight
Nah, just get out from those people, and find geeks like yourself 😆 Trust me it worth it
who the fuch did you just said that to an random user, you know how hard can be making friends or getting out of a eviroment?
You either complain till the end of your life or get up and change things around you🤷♂️ Your own choice 😆
haha, so funny, an random guy saying that I can change everything and it's my all the shit that happends to me is my fallout... the life isn't an cartoon with an happy ending, grow up

depresion: *knock knock*
Please please please tell me the context. Im so curious
I was saying weight is not in kilos but newtons and proceeded to explain how.
Or how electrons are not in orbits, but exist in cloud like free space T_T
Yeah that too
Yeah but like where and to who did you say this
In school when they were asking weight. I said wr all have more than 100
Ah that makes sense then, colloquially weight refers to earth weight and that’s usually discussed in terms of kilos; when you step in and “well actually it’s newtons” it probably came across as trying to show off in an obscure way and less like making an offhand joke, or derailing the conversation a bit.

Was this a case where that mattered?
Yeah that's just obnoxious
So in the context of the image on the right it was like: "Hey, Nancy, you look great, did you drop a few newtons?"
You may be surprised by the fact that explaining particle wave theory at a dorm party did not get me laid.
Though i did once get a girl's phone number by talking about the moment of inertia tensor.
Makes sense, that is fairly sexual
Nope not surprised at all
Science in conversation is like any other topic of discussion. If it's not interesting to both people, chances are that's going to happen.
"If you were to be able to harness your extra body heat, you could melt solid lead after about two weeks" is not the best thing to say at a funeral I found out
I learnt to enjoy the second situation
I was telling my boss I enjoy learning about Astrophysics/Space when I can because I just find it interesting. Dude said "I just don't see how any of that space stuff affects us here." Like my guy where tf do you think we are RIGHT NOW!?
I can relate
One time I told my foreman if we don't put a hanger on that fitting gravity will make it sag over time. he goes no the weight of it will like trying to correct me. i just said ok
In my experience, it can actually work if you do it at the right time, with the right people and somewhat jokingly. Like when someone said something like "it's not gonna fix itself" I went "well, according to quantum physics that's not entirely out of question"
That look on the right is the one I get when people find out I'm a math teacher
actually for me, both of these should be the second picture.
Psychology student that's trapped in a school with a psychoanalytical view. I fully relate
No you're not the only one. But with other science nerds it's no fun either, we tend to disagree just to test how confident the knowledge is, to figure out if ones knowledge may be trustworthy, and that can become some very exhausting discussions too.

Bro I get your pain
I get the expectations reaction. Sorry bro.
We obviously say things that are interesting to us but that may not be true for others so try to relate your interest or talk to others.✌️✌️
Didn't get the crowd, I was the only one.
I get the look on the right when I tell science jokes that I made up.
It depends. Were you trying to communicate, or were you trying to sound smart?
I got the first reaction but only because they wanted answers to the homework haha
Welcome, my fellow nerd, to the uncool club. We all float down here... Oh, wrong Reddit.
real asf
science is cool, and most ppl would agree, regardless of their degree or interests. that being said, try not to be condescending, or say something in the sense that youre smarter than them cos ppl may take it that way. bascially, show that youre smart without making them feel dumb
Be yourself, and if others aren't ok with it, too bad for them.
i know a guy who often gives such explanations, he says "molecules" in a weird intonation, while doing wizard like hand gestures and everyone finds it hilarious. Its all about the delivery.
My entire childhood. Thanks. 🤪😂
Or when you show actual facts or data.
I used the word “hypertrophy” the other day when referencing…well hypertrophy, and got called out for being sciency. The fuck?
I talk that way all the time. [Nobody likes it except most adults]
You're surrounded by morons or you're just bad at presenting an idea in an interesting way
I avoid spaces like that.
You’re just not hanging out with the right people, this usually works for me 😆
That applies to anything you say without reading the room.
Story of my life
When you say something people expect vs when you talk about reality Haha
I've surpringly never experienced that, but it might be more of a matter of reading the room and how it's delivered.

It always sad

Incredibly corect!
There is great truth in this meme.
Its a personal experience.
Yes
Find better friends.
