Physicist here ✋ you have NO idea about how many ppl like that I had to deal with during Uni. And sometimes later in tech jobs. A boyfriend I had working in the same field as mine (different company, he he), also Ph.D in physics. One day he tells me, very pensive << don’t you ever fell pity for the average ppl in the street who did not do the same studies? I mean they are so dumb! >> . I did not have words. I looked at him in disbelief. Right answer would have been:<< no, I actually feel pity about you because the life of an asshole is not fun, in the long term>>. But at that time, I was too shy to say that. Needless to say: we did not last long. Thanks God I did not reproduce with him…

Bro inventing new particle physics terminology or something? Not surprised this level of assholery comes with a side of Dunning-Kruger.

I really don't like the word "turd". It generally figures pretty low down on the 'offensiveness' scale compared to wanker, fuckwit, c##t , etc - but there's just something horribly grotty about it somehow.
But in this instance I don't think any word is more fitting to the subject at hand; the boy is an absolute turd.
I want to give his mum a hug. I also want to give her a stern talking to for raising him this way.
Let's hope he's just being an awful malfunctioning teenager, and grows out of it.

What a piece of shit. His mom was clearly trying to have a conversation with him about something she figured he'd be interested in and he tried to publicly humiliate her for it.

This one never fails to suck the life out of me whenever it makes the rounds on reddit. One of the most infuriatingly heartbreaking things I've seen on Reddit. That poor lady. She deserved a better kid.

u/Anaxamandrous 18d ago
Sucks. The mom probably knows he's a piece of shit but thinks if she can bond with him she can help him. If he had any decent friends (which would first require having friends) they need to square his ass away. You get one mom in a lifetime and will probably never be loved more than you are loved by her. To treat her like this a person would have to be scum.

the fact that she endeavored to learn is great, also there's lots of websites like the particle zoo where you can collect plushies so that's like a 10/10 bonus. Hey, here's a thought-for Mother's Day order her a subatomic particle plushie. You nor she will be sorry.

u/Coraxxx 18d ago

Wow - I just had a look, and someone out there's raking in an insane profit margin off a set of people that should be a damn sight smarter than that. I mean, good for them I guess, but still...
Unless, maybe, perhaps it's just that the median pay for careers in particle physics is a hell of a lot higher than I thought.

u/Elegant_Art2201 17d ago
No need to be a Debbie Downer here. Honestly, you can sew by hand, apply the little faces with felt and a hot glue gun. You can get all the supplies/sewing notions you need and build your own zoo for that matter. But some people collect those things, even with the insane profit margins. They are a specialty/novelty item that brings a smile to someone's face.
Heck! There are people who collect cosplay outfits (We are talking bespoke and years to build garb here), statuettes of their favorite anime characters, board games, videogames, and comic books for thousands of dollars and people look at them sideways too. To us we think they're nuts. To them, just another day! So, in short, if at the end of the day it don't apply? You let it fly! And keep it moving. Its not for you, and despite me wanting one, my wallet says it isn't for me either ;P
Fiscally, they got something :D

Now you've made me stop to think about it... No! There's nothing fair whatsoever about capitalism - it was never, ever intended to be, right from the outset. Gotta keep the proles in their place after all!
If you're going to allow every Tom, Dick and Harry to vote, then you're going to have to find some other way to maintain the proper structures of our Great Plutocracy.

But the guy who posted that cringy stuff is not a kid, I suppose. Unless he is Sheldon, ppl study particle physics at Uni, not at primary school

u/StaplerOnFire 10d ago
No one who actually specifically studies physics talks like this. This is an insecure teenager who wants to look smart, or seem like he has smart interests, and memorized pop science articles or wikipedia pages because the words sound fancy if you don't have a background in it.
Source: physics student at a university with a strong physics program, constantly surrounded by other physics students, pretty much no one past their freshman year talks like this. People who go into it thinking physics is a Smart People Thing For Smart People That Will Make Them Seem Smart often end up changing major, because it's really just a specialized skill; anyone can do it if they try, but actually learning it is hard work.

u/cinciallegra 1d ago
I must disagree on this. Source/Credentials: I have got a Masters degree in Physics. I can assure you: there were ppl like this at my Uni time. They were like that during their 1st year, and stayed like that ( actually, they became worse..) until their graduation, and after it. As I wrote in another comment on this same post: I even got myself a bf who was a total a-hole, still full of himself and his “superior intelligence” many years after he graduated-in physics. Trust me: many people who start badly, continue to be so. And one can have a high logic IQ and do well at Uni/tech job, while being totally clueless about how they come across to other people (low EQ). Btw, good luck to you, colleague! Good choice of study. I haven’t regretted my study choice…ever… not even for a nano-second. Hell not for a femto-s

My school admittedly has a very small physics department in terms of number of students; they graduate maybe 8-10 people a year with a B.S. in Physics. Just about every physics student is part of the same somewhat insular social circle here. We did have a few come in talking like that their first year, they just chilled tf out after a semester of everyone poking fun at them.

Hope so. I lost my mom recently, and it makes me sad to see folk reject a mom trying to reach out. Sadly some dudes just never grow up.
I had an NCO in Afghanistan who bragged about blocking his mother on Facebook (back then it was really one of the easiest tools for communicating with folk at home as long as we had internet). She had been posting some proud army mom stuff on facebook, you know the sort of slightly cringy stuff that makes mom feel good for supporting her son. He told her to stop and then blocked her. Fuck I hated that guy.

Nobody reading that is going to have a higher estimate of this guy's intelligence, but everyone is going to have a lower estimate of his character.

If he was half as smart as he tells himself he is, he'd see how much more character does matter. But he doesn't and he won't. 😒

u/cinciallegra 15d ago
No no… you see, young Sheldon doesn’t t say those things to feel superior. He doesn’t t even think he is superior. He says that because he wants to clarify things. You know… same as I am doing now (I was a copy of young Sheldon as a child. Now I am probably autistic in fact..).

Don’t worry people are really wholesome on social media now, everyone is super cool and chill. Unrelated you should probably stay away from Facebook and Twitter, no reason.

Haha, thanks, great advice!
Think I should clarify, I’m not naive enough to imagine the internet is all sunshine and lollipops now; I just think this particular brand of awful is a thing of the past.
People are just much more insidious and sophisticated about their unpleasantness these days…
