Why is this place called /sci/ when the only people that seem

>>8469746
>only people that seem to know their shit is the mathematicians
shiggy diggy

>>8469747
what does that mean?

>>8469760
50% of the board are obnixious soft scientists, like chemists and biologists, but who also know their stuff.

>>8469746
its easier to be ignorant in science

/sci/ is just a dump zone for /diy/

>>8469746

desu most scientists specialise in one thing and know shit all about anything else.

>>8469746
everyone wants to show that their cock is the bigger one

>>8469746
mathematics is more accessible, any fool can grab a calculator and do math

>>8469765
Good chem and bio threads are almost non-existent on this board.

95 % of the threads:
* Stupid memes
* Consciousness, religion and other /x/ stuff
* what's the evolutionary advantage of...
* Asking advice on studies
* Homework threads
* Disguised homework threads
* Babby-tier book recommendations
* i couldn't get through calc 1, am i a brainlet now?
* CALC 3 WAS PISS EASY GUYS

>>8469746

wish there was more women in /sci/. would probably be a better place.

>>8469857
I think anything less general than the evolutionary stuff is not going to get any big threads

>>8469857
hay, there was a number of long-surviving chem threads

>>8469999
czech'd

>>8469872
What the fuck am I reading? How would /sci/ be a better place if all the threads were about sex with Chads?

>>8469746
Mods refuse to delete all the shitposting by /pol/-fagging millenials, and they sometimes even delete legit science threads, probably in an attempt to make the place even worse for some reason.
This board is pretty much dead, millenials outnumber us far too much.

Let's make /sci/ great again?

This. Even /r/science is better than this shithole

>what is /cg/
I would be lying if I said I did not expect this from a mathfag

>>8469746
It's /pol/

>>8469746
That looks a lot like a Baby Tolkien map.

>>8469857
Twas ever thus.

Seriously I've been here since /sci/'s inception and it's always been the same. The only change is the rate of shitposting, which is almost certainly down to the increased popularity of the board.

>>8469872
>Who was EK

It really, really, [math] reeeeally [/math] wouldn't be.

>>8469746
Because math doesn't have much room for opinions.

>>8469746
Delusional /pol/tards don't care about shitting up math threads

it's because this board is for shit posting about science, not seriously talking about it

In in grad school and I come here to chill out and have fun, not show off

>>8470269
There's already /b/ and /r9k/ for your needs.

>>8470241
So is -1/12 true?

>>8470520
// Made with love for anon
public void testIfNumberIsTrue(){
boolean x;
if(-1/12) then x = true;
else x = false;
return x;
}

Here, I wrote some Java code for you to test your question, get back to me with bug reports, comments, kudos etc.

Autism.

>>8470241
there are no integers greater than [math]10^200[/math] which disproves the goldbach's conjecture.

>>8470220
It really wasn't, but being a millenial shitposter you probably couldn't tell the difference.

>>8470585
How do I run that?

the fuck is up with this spot? is the second law an artificial channel dug into the erasure of information? is waste heat just really fucking wide and shallow or did someone expand its banks on purpose?

>>8469856
>any fool can grab a calculator and do math
You must be 18 or over to post here, friendo

>>8469746
Science attracts the uninitiated, math does not. You'll have plenty of non-scientist willing to "debunk" climate change for you, but not a single non-mathematician willing to "debunk" modularity. It's easier to convince yourself that you understand "entropy increases over time" than it is for "abelian varieties with complex multiplication are defined over a number field".

>>8471804
That's two tributaries forming a single river flowing out the bottom of the picture.

You didn't think waste heat was flowing up and through the heat engines into the lake of free energy did you?

>>8471804

dude i just go on google images and look for pretty pictures, how the fuck do i know

I wonder what happened to EK. Those were funny times.

>>8470207

i know nothing about math, i just see math posts which have writing i dont understand, a lack of shitposting (unless its homework advice) and assume its not shit.

>>8470520

what does true mean?

minute you get disagreement in math it turns to philosophy

>>8470330
Neither of those boards knows enough about science to make it worth the time.

>>8474897

im gonna make one too

>>8469746
You mean just like in real life?

>>8474956

i just went to reddit and their board looks better than /sci/ desu. havent looked inside a thread yet but the titles of the posts seem to lack shitposting

actually to be fair there is a serious lack of comments on reddit

>>8474967

no just on here

>>8474948
>what does true mean?
Anything anybody believes, i.e. Foucaultian truth

Build a wall to keep /pol/ and /x/ out?

>>8469746
i honestly wonder how many people on this board would know and guess correctly which direction (clockwise or counterclockwise) if when you place 3 gears together with interlocking teeth and turn the right gear clockwise which direction the one on the far left would be rotating

>>8475559
If you place 3 gears together with interlocking teeth they won't turn

>>8475559

im not sure thats got anything to do with the board. anyone can just get the answer visualising it in your head.

holy shit. so this is the problem with our education system

>>8470026
I'll take /pol/-fagging over social "scientists" weighing in on nature vs nurture with their hot opinions from the 1970s.

Because the vast majority of people here are high school or early college students that think they know far more than they really do. More than once I've posted about my research only to be told I don't know what I'm doing by some kid who has clearly just googled the subject. This is where all the most irritating personalities come.

Also good threads are hard to come by because usually either the answer is searchable or the question is just retarded.
