Why is this place called Veeky Forums when the only people that seem to know their shit is the mathematicians and science based posts tend to turn into shit-fests of ignorance?

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

what does that mean?

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

its easier to be ignorant in science

Veeky Forums is just a dump zone for /diy/

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

everyone wants to show that their cock is the bigger one

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

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

wish there was more women in Veeky Forums. would probably be a better place.

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

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

czech'd

What the fuck am I reading? How would Veeky Forums be a better place if all the threads were about sex with Chads?

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 Veeky Forums great again?

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

Enjoy the ride.

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

It's /pol/

That looks a lot like a Baby Tolkien map.

Twas ever thus.

Seriously I've been here since Veeky Forums'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.

>Who was EK

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

Because math doesn't have much room for opinions.

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

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

So is -1/12 true?

// Made with love for user
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.

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

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

How do I run that?

pic unrelated

Because math is god tier.

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?

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

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".

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?

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

what do you search for?

Dem quads

Kek has spoken
Chemistry will make Veeky Forums great again

i dont even remember. entropy or something

...

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

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.

what does true mean?

minute you get disagreement in math it turns to philosophy

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

im gonna make one too

You mean just like in real life?

i just went to reddit and their board looks better than Veeky Forums 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

no just on here

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

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

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

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

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

>tfw computer scientist

(OP)

>tfw not computer scientist

...

wew

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

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.
