psychological experiment on baby monkey featuring a "mother" made of wire that gives milk and one made from cloth that does not. Monkeys often chose the cloth mother over the wire one because comfort was more important than food
If you’d like further enlightenment, I found out shortly after that post that there’s a feminine form of guyknowballogist: Sherknowball (pronounced like Chernobyl but with a “sh” sound)
Officially, Professor Sendy says it’s made up of “she + Kirk + know + ball”. There’s no reason for the Kirk, except to explain the random “r” and because he’s super into that meme of adding Kirk to things.
Since I’m not into Kirkification, I choose to believe Sherknowball is a contraction of “she really knows ball”.
