I usually give them ideas from work that has obscure patents and such and wait for them to pass it off as their own. Then I call the patent owner. I have destroyed many lives with this technique. Especially on eager pricks waiting to spring a trap.

You're doing God's work. Keep at it.

This is....The poisened frog technique...
Truly only a master Pepe can perform such a feat....

How often does research sniping actually happen? Should I keep my mouth shut about my research?

>>8882044
never talk about it unless it is published or about to be published

Oh look at me I found out this thing!
"Your things are shit!"
Okay...
>le sadface.memefrog

Few months later check if any of the mentioned meme frogs are in the soup.

Make the Bogdanoff phone call...

Best ones are the ones that come into class and look a little...off...
You can see it in their eyes...something off inside their glassy spectacles....
like a wounded animal you just blew the fucking legs off of...
Very few make the connection...
Then they kind of just...fizzle off to die somewhere quiet and alone...
Although the best one was.

Tl;dr Pepe is love, pepe is lif, dun steal rare pepe pls

I think most people can safely trust their supervisor, though. It takes a real pathetic piece of shit to steal your own students ideas. I mean he could probably have easily been a coauthor by just offering to help.

>'He' calls Machiavellianism a "rare Pepe".
Pretty much that.

I had a reviewer for one of my papers try to snipe one of my ideas.

Good thing the grad student he got working on it was retarded... and ended up making them both look extra retarded.

>>8882006
Fuck you got me.

He likely doesn't remember due to self-serving bias and old age
