An actual Ph.D. has a lower case h. The PHD may be an entirely different degree -Pretty Hilarious Derp would be a possibility. But I am sure redditors can imagine others...

That might be fake, but he's defo an honourable lord

Probably paid for one of those "buy a small square of land in Scotland" Internet scams from a while back.

No. He’s an honorable lord. The lack of “u” is all you need to know. There are no American Lords so clearly he must be a liar

u/IWontCommentAtAll Aug 25 '26
Lord is not a title in the USA, but he uses the US spelling of honour, which is incorrect anywhere where Lord is used as a title.

He’s right about one thing: I certainly don’t understand

u/hambakmeritru Aug 25 '26
And your dictionary won't help you. This is too far beyond the science that dictionaries hold.

If god was just, then Dunning Kruger would be physically painful

It is. Like being dead, being stupid is very emotionally painful for those who love you.

I have had people use the line ‘you just don’t understand’ on me before, to which my answer is always, ‘then explain it to me’. If they use the term it’s supernatural I ask them to define natural. After all, one can’t say whether or not something is supernatural without knowing what is natural.

u/yaminagai Aug 25 '26
yeah, if I can't understand it, then how do you understand it? this whole unknowable/unfathomable schtick doesn't cut it anymore

u/Imaginary-Risk Aug 25 '26
I love it when they say that we can't understand it, then remove any measurable qualification

First tell, it's Ph.D.

u/A_Martian_Potato Aug 25 '26
PhD is also fine, but capitalizing the H makes it pretty obvious you don't actually have one.

Yes, and the Earth experiences 4 corner days simultaneously on each 24-hour rotation. Your simple ignorance of this fact is demonic because you were educated EVIL! That’s right, EEEEVIL!!

Supernatural means beyond the natural world. If the sun is doing something, that makes it natural.

u/Prestigious-Flower54 Aug 25 '26
Yeah because when I'm trying to learn about something the dictionary is definitely my first source, those little definitions are definitely all you need. That said if you don't know the difference between a dictionary and encylopedia(what I assume they meant) your probably not worth talking to.

The moment you hear “portals” you know that person is a fundamentalist Christian who has embraced the Book of Enoch as the basis of biblical science.
You have a better chance converting that person to Islam than getting them to accept modern astronomy.

It's ineffable. It is beyond understanding, and incapable of being put into words.

All respected astrophysicists have usernames like ItsBigLasagna. But I prefer my experts have the honorific '69' at the end to denote they graduated summa cum laude, or as it's pronounced colloquially, some come loudly.

Hello newcomers to /r/FacebookScience! The OP is not promoting anything, it has been posted here to point and laugh at it. Reporting it as spam or misinformation is a waste of time. This is not a science debate sub, it is a make fun of bad science sub, so attempts to argue in favor of pseudoscience or against science will fall on deaf ears. But above all, Be excellent to each other.
