Obviously almost everyone who claims this on the internet is full of it. Full of themselves and full of shit.
That said, with time, patience, study and luck you can contribute meaningfully to an expert understanding of the world! A year or two back it was an amateur enthusiast who discovered that some markings near cave paintings of animals may correlate with reproductive cycles for those animals - an interpretation that gathered some expert support.
Someone once solved a 25 year old math problem and posted the proof on 4chan.
I love the subtitle. The fact that it was
A debate over the most efficient way to watch a cult classic TV series’ episodes, in every possible order
makes it completely believable.
Wasn’t the formula to calculate turbulence from a russian math genius who lives somewhere in the woods, appeared with the solution and disappeared again?
Yeah, not super long ago some kid discovered that an animal wasn’t endangered while doing a research paper for school.
Not even almost. The internet is done, thanks to Russia
thanks to Russia
I thought it was China that ruined the internet. Or maybe it was North Korea? Idk, the point is that it was definitely an evil foreign government who ruined America’s premier information sharing network.
Not a profit-hungry former Yahoo executive who failed upward into the world’s most successful internet company or the founder who made a multi-billion dollar bad bet on VR or the guy who bought Twitter and proceeded to wage a War on Woke.
Take a breath, fatty
I just did some research on some supplements that might help with a medical condition my wife suffers from. There is a brand that has a suspiciously high rating on Amazon and has an F score on fake spot. I found some scientific studies about using the plant extract for her condition, but they look at if they have been written by the supplement industry as does the Wikipedia every for the extract. There are verified doctors on YouTube that talk about it, and say that it can help, but to be weary of supplements and the claims companies make. It’s still possible that they will help, but there’s no way to know until she tries it. Unfortunately, the most trustworthy source is the one with a bunch of reviews that people probably got a discount or free product to write. There’s a bunch of other brands, but those look even sketchier. I also found a few sellers on eBay who will send the powdered extract from India labeled from a company with a website that doesn’t load. Lastly, I could obtain a few of the plants and dry the leaves myself. I’m not sure exactly how many leaves I would need for one dose though.
So yeah, I did my own research, suck my dick if you have a problem with it.
To be “weary” is to be tired.
To be “wary” is to be sceptical.
Depending on the field it can be “I found a way to synthesize something in a way other scientists didn’t think was possible”.
But that’s generally attributed to using new techniques that weren’t a thing when the “other scientists” made the claim.
Right, but people don’t actually say that, do they? It’s more like
“Honey, I found some information that the world’s top scientists and doctors are being paid to hide”
Y’all laugh, but I know how secretly good for me drinking lead-sweetened borax water is!
Well… Yes. This is what researchers do. It’s part of science. Now you take the new data, form a falsifiable hypothesis, and do empirical experiments. Publish your research. The cycle is complete
Yeah. All that jazz too… But it’s right here on Facebook. Isn’t that evidence enough?
