How many people frequent /sci/? Am I just having arguments with

3 fiddy

/sci/ is actually one big Turing test. There's only you, me and my AI. Did it pass?

>>8614245
Around 12. Yes.

>>8614245
-1/12

>>8614245
I count as 100 people, so you're good.

>>8614245
From the poll about fields, I suspect around 400 people browse /sci/

>>8614245
This bothers me with every board. How many times have you talked to the same person and not known it?

>>8614245
One thing for sure, there are a lot of Pajeets.

>>8614266
kek

>>8614245
There's you, me, two goats, a car, a game show host, 6 balls (3 gold, 3 silver), 5 people tied on one tram track, one person tied to another, a tram driver, and about -1/12 other people.

And there's a 50/50 chance any of them are posting in this thread.

>>8614245
was this thread not made like yesterday or something?

the physics undergrad who states that physicists can do anything they want if they really really want it

the maths undergrad who calls everybody else brainlets and calls biologists retards

and me

>>8614430
plus the physics phd student that shits on the undergrads if they venture too far into his field

thats me

>>8614245
>Am I just having arguments with the same handful of people?

Pre-2008, all of 4chan was this very thing.

>>8614430

plus the only person that apparently finished college and ruins all the threads

moi

Looking at stats from that blog of mine that I posted, there are at least four Germans, fourteen Americans, five Indians, two Swiss, three French, and three Finns. Plus there is Simon the Australian, and OHP the American.

33 anons and 0 women

>>8614719
There are definitely a handful of Brits that post here

grahams number times -1/12

>>8614660
What was the field?

>>8614245
All I know is that there are 200 unique posters every hour on /sci/. In 24 hours that number is of course higher.

>>8614608
You forgot the British, faggot.

If you're talking about the Wildberger/flat earth/0.999 threads, then yes, you are talking with the same person each time.

>>8614254
I chuckled.

>>8614906
How do you know that?

Im pretty sure /lit/ is just like 2 /pol/tards and 2 marxists and some guy who really like Max Stirner and they are infinetly shitposting at eachother forever

>>8614916
Oh yeah, there were four Brits that visited the blog. Sorry friendo.

>>8614245
If you're having arguments on the internet and expecting them to matter at all then you are a low IQ brainlet. Thus in order to answer your question it is sufficient to show that the number of brainlets in /sci/ is minuscule. From here on the proof is trivial and left as an exercise for the reader.

>>8614280
That's not how anonymous image boards work. You're not talking to people, you're talking to ideas.

>>8614716
lurk more

>>8614245

quite a few

I know for a fact some are actually competent

>>8614245
yes.

>>8614245
Everyone on sci is a bot except for you

>>8615224

>>8614245

Also, I fag this place up as much as I can. Am single handedly responsible for at least half of the cancer.

>>8614719
At least two anons identified themselves as females, if that means anything today.

>>8616032

That is pretty impressive. I guess from the limited statistics that have been provided in this thread, we actually are a fairly diverse bunch of anons.

this board consists of 200 engineers and 50 real /sci/entists

>>8616059
>this board consists of 200 engineers and 50 real /sci/entists

You are on point, but I have a serious question.

When do you think someone can call themselves a scientist?

After a bachelor's degree, master's degree or PhD? After post-doc? After publication? Can a hobbyist call themselves a scientist?

I was just having a conversation about this question with a friend, so I was wondering what you thought.

Don't forget us lurkers, probably too afraid to post cause y'all are so freakin' smart and won't take any of our bullshitted explaimations for the happening of this hear universe

>>8614245
All of 4chan is just me and you pal. Sorry for calling you a faggot so often.

i think bachelor degree is usually it. after 4 years of math you are a mathematician, a bad one, but definitely a mathematician.

>>8614245
>arguments with the same handful
she looks to be quite the (double) handful

>>8616155
>i think bachelor degree is usually it. after 4 years of math you are a mathematician, a bad one, but definitely a mathematician.

Interesting. I have a bachelor's degree in a science field, but my friend who is getting a PhD says that a bachelor's degree doesn't count as a scientist. I will tell her that the conclusion is that I am a really, really bad scientist.

>>8616062
Somebody can call themselves a scientist when they're doing original research to a standard worthy of publication.

>>8616213
> scientist
> original research
> worthy of publication
You're overestimating the standards of academia.

I'm pretty sure that there's at least three brazilians posting here.

>>8617595
Mentira, não tem não.

>>8617118
Where can I find it?

>>8614245
there are about 15 regulars that I know of, and I've been here and engaging people at the personal level for a while

so I'd say about 30 people semi-active?

I don't frequent this board I'm just here for the tits

Its the same autist logging into multiple proxies.
His autism so profound and so far reaching he treats each of those logins as personas and argues with himself all day, you are just a guest in his giant autistic brain.

6 gorillion

>>8614245
Most likely not.
You can check the site traffic if it makes you feel better.

>>8614290
Indians, americans, turkish, mexicans and south africans... that's the people I know that browse /sci/

>>8620067
Hi Dutch friend.

>>8614245
It is of course impractical to say how many people are on sci "frequently." In a day. A week. An average based on the daylight hours of a country.

As for the arguments: If you're arguing, then you're arguing with yourself, trying to prove what you think is true and to understand it better; to learn. If you had solid answers, you'd explain and present rather than argue.

I'm surprised you're in any way interested in anyone here who disagrees with you: with your morale and ethical thoughts as they are presented in your science common sense. Some people on here are only worth talking of in the "third person." Actually quite a few on here whose communication level is so degenerate that it's impossible to tell if they're joking, sarcastic or merely their own stupid self that can't write basic sentences and grammar. Smarts is about science but lots of other fields as well: One of them being writing skill.

>>8620162

I don't get into arguments, I just post informative med-related shit.

I might have called you a faggot though.

He never said you have to publish, he just said the standard of the research has to be good enough to publish.
