I don’t get it, what is the distinction between the left and the right?
i 💚 animals.

That guy is so purple he looks like he chewed willy wonka’s gum

Looks like a blueberry that drank too much silver.

Looks like there’s a directional white-light source that his sign is blocking, and more diffuse red and blue lighting illuminating the shadow
There’s a portion of his face outside the shadow, and it seems normally colored

Good for them.
Sure, I’d call it probably zoology, but whatever, “animals” counts.

Aquatic biology - have an axolotl. More science can be involved than with most pets, nitrogen cycle and various experiments I did to try and remove nitrates.

Space isn’t a science either, it’s the subject matter for astronomy and astrophysics.

I have literally designed and implemented aircraft parts based on inspiration I got listening to somebody infodump about an animal they were studying. Learn the things other people care about. It will make you better at what you care about and probably a better person in the process

Night science rules!

If somebody’s just following dogma and thinking within a box, they’re not doing science.
I didn’t even interpret the meme as suggesting that one group of subjects is better than another, and I was disappointed to see so many commenters here thinking that their narrow or broad branch of study is better or more of a true science than other valid fields.

Except that the meme is very specifically used to highlight a distinct qualitative difference between the two “interpretations” of a term which leads to friction or miscommunication between the characters. This meme is doing precisely what you claim it is not.

Loads of new technologies are discovered because of people mixing disciplines that hadn’t been put together before. A new perspective on a problem can make a massive difference!
Yondoza@sh.itjust.works 6 months ago
I think the most reliable way to advance a scientific field is to find a technique used in a different field and apply it to yours. Even more reliable if you use techniques from theoretical math.

I love how “animals” and “engineering” are presented as equivalent in this meme, like “yeah I know these aren’t real sciences or anything but I think they’re cute!”

The creator was clearly a physicist.

I don’t think your misunderstanding and/or crusty attitude qualifies as a failure on their part.

I love science. Especially when it’s followed by the word “fiction.” 😌
TempermentalAnomaly@lemmy.world 6 months ago
There’s only three sciences in that list.
sunoc@sh.itjust.works 6 months ago
Physics, chemistry and biology ?
TempermentalAnomaly@lemmy.world 6 months ago
Yep

Wow, “Tell me you never took more than high school level chemistry without telling me you never took more than high school level chemistry”.

As long as she doesn’t say psychology
DonPiano@feddit.org 6 months ago
Psychology is a fun science, but we get a lot of students who don’t get that they signed up to study a science rather than for getting a degree in holding hands and going “there, there”.
FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 6 months ago
I’d take that (or sociology or economics,) over whatever batshit-crazy pseudoscience RFKjr is spouting.
rockerface@lemmy.cafe 6 months ago
At least psychology isn’t economics
InternetCitizen2@lemmy.world 6 months ago
Reminds me of a joke that economics is for those who couldn’t cut it in maths and physics. Austrian Economics for those who couldn’t handle evidence and statistics in economics.

I see them as perfectly compatible.
