    Lots of folks get their superficial education from memes and will be mislead by this…

      well that’s their own fault, and it’s not like stuff like this is vital information for the average person

        Specifically, because it’s non-vital information for the average person, I really do not think you can blame anyone for merely learning about it through memes. But I do also think this problem is much greater than just memes. I did not receive a better explanation during high school, despite opting for more advanced physics classes and us repeatedly telling our teacher that it makes no sense to us. I have to assume that our teacher did not know either. As such, I got the impression that more advanced physics is just devoid of any actual logic, which was a major factor why I decided against pursuing it further in college. Reading a proper explanation under a stupid meme, could’ve made the difference for me.

          sorry I was in the assumption that most people know that it was simply a joke and it doesn’t actually work like this

        So why are you so upset with us trying to fix it?

        I personally find the anti science, anti learning crowd has gone from amusing, to annoying, to terrifying.
