Dumb meme. You can enjoy something without dedication or being good at it.
I like watching F1 highlights (not even full race lmao) and only vehicle I can drive is a bicycle. π€·ββοΈ

Don't sell yourself short.
If you can ride a bicycle, you can probably handle a tricycle.

We're gatekeeping science now?
This is just the equivalent of "oh you like , name all their albums". It's dumb and you don't need to be an expert to appreciate something.

It me. I love science but Iβm definitely a YouTube learner and terrible at calc.
Itβs all so fascinating though! Keep it up scientists!
4chan-tier childish elitism in Facebook-tier packaging π
If there's advanced calculus, there's presumably also regular calculus, so at what point does calculus start to be advanced?
For me, the leap to multivariate calculus gave me a lot of trouble.
Differential equations was doable but no longer fun for me, either.
It was a combination of multivariate calculus, linear algebra, and differential equations where I just wasn't having fun with math anymore. Those subjects represented the end of pure math education for me, and later engineering classes requiring knowledge in those were also not a ton of fun. Went from a self-described math and science guy to just...not describing myself in that way anymore.

When I calc the ulus
The start of calculus is relatively easy and intuitive, ive heard there are some schools that teach the basics of it to children at the same time they normally learn algebra.
Then theres the real bastard calculus that can and will make grown adults cry.

why is the anglophone sphere calling every slightly complex phenomenon science? science is a method, AFAIK, that produces reliable knowledge over time.
for example how is the sun itself science? sure, there's knowledge to be made about composition, dynamics etc., but when this knowledge gets widely shared without the goal of expanding existing knowledge for the goal of education or entertainment, hasn't this long left the field of science?
for science, why aren't you saying you love edutainment?
I have a similar issue with the word research. Do your own research - wtf. Research is either standing in the lab and actually experimenting, or conducting (clinical) studies, or at the very least an extensive literature research that even for a paper takes days (more like weeks and months) and a lot of knowledge on the field as well as methods for literature research in this sphere to be conducted properly. I absolutely don't want you to do your own research about my field of study. You probably have a job and don't want to go to university for 6 years to understand my niche.

Math is the language of the universe. Unfortunately I'm dyslexic.
I can understand complicated molecular interactions but throw numbers in my face and I'm the dumbest person in the room.
Dyscalculia is the word you're looking for
It's fun that I had no idea this word existed, and this is now the second Lemmy comment today that's used it.

They just like looking at sciences tits. To be honest so do I
Mammary studies are a very advanced field. There are so many cup sizes and don't get me started on how they relate to other measurements. And then there's nipples, how do they even work?
I like the calculus part, actually. The fact that we can make equations for EVERYTHING and simplify the abstract into something consumable, like using the points and curvature of a wing to estimate drag coefficient in a couple lines of math instead of relying solely on countless vectors and fluid dynamics.
And then we have things that remap what seems one-dimensional into abstract spaces, so that we can draw new conclusions.

I said I love science, not that I know it or can practice it, they're different things.

Well what kind of hentai is scientific? π€·ββοΈ
Iβm sure thereβs something out there. Rule 34 and all that.

I love the math that I understand XD
The math subjects that require a lot of prerequisite knowledge are usually what I avoid. Without a project in mind, it becomes a huge waste of time to try to understand.
Im not familiar with kurzegesagt or Rick and Morty hentai but I'm pretty sure that was the expression on my face for most of the runtime of Interstellar
That's because your frigid heart doesn't understand the science of looooove

Also, everyone who's claiming they love science should read both Kuhn and Feyerabend. Kinda eye-opening shit
Basically me when I quit Computer Science for Film & TV
I did a year then realized I'd rather make the next Interstellar than code for NASA
sigh Great, another format I have to wait for other apps to support if I want to share the memes. And webp was finally getting to the point where it wasnβt annoying the fuck out of me.
? This is just jpg
Some homeservers convert uploaded images automatically to save space iirc

When I try to use the built-in share feature, itβs sharing it as a .avif file. Wonder if itβs specific to the app Iβm using (Voyager). Something Iβve only noticed happening recently.
Either way, good content at least!
It shows avif in browser too
Wonder why that happened tho? Is it my instance or voyager (posted using it)? Because the image locally was jpg

Yeah let's get rid of science communication altogether
