That's just Richard Feynman.

EXPLOSIONS!!!??!
Duh, it’s Johnny Kim. Navy Seal, astronaut, and Harvard MD. One man.
A guy who is likely kind of smart and on steroids
Some people have crazy testosterone levels for medical reasons. StyroPyro did a YouTube video a few months back about his testosterone levels.
Hope he's doing alright. He didn't know why they were elevated at the time.
A guy who is really* smart.
Idk man styropyro just got diagnosed with extremely abnormally high test. He most definitely isn't on gear.
I would believe StyroPro was the outlier on the graph, absolute peak human male without a doubt.
A very smart and inpatient person who is on roids
I mean I've seen the guy's videos.
That dot? It's Styro Pyro.
I just said the same thing in another comment. This has to be his dot based on those numbers he said.
Anyone have a link to the source
Edit: I need this for a argument I’m currently having
I googled but could not find source. I only found more memes based on this graph. Which isn't to say it's fake, could simply be in some research paper hidden away under a paywall. 15k sample is a very big study though.
The graph alone is highly problematic to make any argument though as it doesn't specify other critical axis such as age which would highly change the meaning of this graph. The older you are, T levels fall, but your IQ increases. So age alone can potentially explain the phenomenon we're seeing here.
My attempt to find the graph only resulted in many counter points, however.
- https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/9845018/ looked at only young men and women, so the age no longer becomes an issue. But among young men, higher T is advantageous. I can only read the abstract without paying. But does outline three conclusions there.
- https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/15878571/ studied only 5 year old children. Which again showed a positive relationship between T and intelligence in boys.
- https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/030645309190018O this study on "normal" men and women, though not sure how they define normal, showed a negative relationship. But this once again doesn't define age in their study. Which continues with my previous point that simply older men will have lower T but higher IQ.
- Prenatal exposure to higher T also raised intelligence here: https://psychcentral.com/news/2011/03/14/testosterone-hormone-linked-to-higher-iq
You are are gift. Thanks for all the links!

He’s as smart as Ben Shapiro thinks he is, and as manly as Andrew Tate thinks he is.
Styropyro?
Is that the YouTube that couldn't grow a beard even though he was in his thirties so he had this hormone levels checked and his testosterone was through the roof?
Jep. Pretty sure that’s the one. Don’t think he ever got into what his specific ailment was though. And he hasn’t been all that active lately as far as I remember.
He just put out a "I bought a ton of car battery" video the other week.
I think in one of the lastest videos he had said he was running around various doctors and would have to keep searching, maybe we'll get an update by the end of the year😅
PS. So cool that Styropyro was my thought too, lol
Lmao I'm happy this has so many likes, I was thinking the same thing. Hope he's doing well
Yes he is, he has aquired 300 additional car batteries btw
Bro, after that first car battery video, I'm wondering how he's going to deal with the magnetism problem.

What must his life be like?
Full of testosterone supplements and cheating.
Vandal Savage basically.
Reacher
Said nothing.
Dolph Lundgren.
First thing that came to my mind when I saw the question 'What is his life like?'
He dated Grace Jones
She ran through him like a (very very very) hot knife through butter

Testosterone Georg, who live in a library and dopes up on T is an outlier and should not have been counted.
thats blatant discrimination against outliers, I vote the line be tweaked into a third order polynomial that fits the highest points to better fit the data.
