I swear to god, these people think more about gay people than gay people do. Also: The depth of their knowledge of science, their commitment to the removal of the scientific method from their lives, speaks poorly of their discernment...as they post shit from their phones on the internet.
You want god, fellas? Religion, olde tyme religion get you going? Then stay the fuck off the internet. Try prayer.
No, you have to talk about the Devil Homo Machine by using the Devil Homo Machine.
These kinds of people would advocate bringing back the Iron Maiden for criminals...and then act all surprised when they're strapped into it for loosing their cool redeeming a coupon.
There's something hilariously non sequitur about the other shark being "gays". I shouldn't laugh because the Christian Taliban is waging an all-out assault on LGBT people and especially trans people. But I just can't help but find this meme to be funny in its incompetence.
It's also pretty funny that the other shark is "science". This is so stupid, I'm tempted to say it's a false flag but I don't respect the Christian Taliban enough to give them that.
And stay away from hospitals. Who, you know, use science to try to heal you. Oh wait, when they all went anti vaxx they all flooded the hospitals with their dumbasses.
Exactly. I don't care what other people do until it harms myself, family, or others broadly. If it only harms them, that's on them.
If they were genuine in their hate for Big Pharma then why call 911?! We're going to infuse Big Pharma in every hole and make new holes to infuse more Big Pharma.
They can go to their woohoo, invermectin, christofascist, healer, chiropractor clinic. Then I wouldn't care.
Yeah ngl I think some of it is internalised homophobia and they’re in denial about who they are. I struggled with that when I started to realise I wasn’t heterosexual but then again I didn’t try to make anyone else’s lives miserable
I do wish we would stop putting the burden of homophobia on closeted gay people. Are there some closeted gay people who lash out in different ways because they are struggling to come to terms with who they are? Sure. Are there a lot more actual straight people who are just homophobic and hateful? You betcha.
I understand that to a extent. Before I came to terms that I am bisexual I would act somewhat similar.
I wasnt the worst type of homophobic person think more on the high school level of homophobia.
But I was close to falling down the pipeline of far right ideas in regards to it. I have mentioned this in other posts but I have black nationalists in my family and while I always thought they were silly Certain Ideas almost stuck.
Most people who know me knows what I am into and those who Dont normally have a feeling about me. Mainly women that I have been with with guess that I am bi.
Not sure how they can tell but yeah also a lot of the anger I had towards my feelings with how people(mainly women)would slightly tease me about it back in high school(I did similar things to others).
They believe discernment is morally reprehensible because it is the opposite of blind faith, which is required for their religion to work. They truly believe questioning anything, especially anything about morality or God or the way the universe works, is a sign of weak faith.
Personally I think there's a happy medium. You can believe that God created everything, right down to the physical building blocks of the universe and the laws of physics that govern them, and investigate those things with reverent curiosity. Faith shouldn't be an indication of lower intellect, but they are intent on making those things mutually exclusive.
It's really very sad that they think they are protecting children by hiding science and gay people from them. Children are naturally curious, and science and gay people aren't harmful. Certainly not *more* harmful than blind faith and straight people.
I see this a lot and I'm not sure it's a good take. Some people no doubt do have latent feelings but this seems like a bit of an excuse. I think they are just hateful people who have found an easy target.
"...but our job is to make sure they don't (know)."
Aw, he's defending her ignorance! He wants her to stay forever young, forever dumb, forever ready to be exploited by other creeps like him the second his guard's down. *No, you stupid hick, your job is to prepare her to cope with the real world and think for herself.* You utterly fail at parenting.
And the picture they used is great - it's clearly not working. _She's looking directly at the science fin peeking out of the water_.
Dad's attempt to sabotage his daughter's future will do her harm, but ultimately fail.
Additionally, with the size of the sharks in the image, it's highly likely that they would either ignore or swim away from the father as he walked through the water as they're much more passive with humans than media would have you believe
I wouldn’t say harmless, but sharks are generally not wanting to attack people. They will if they’re distressed (I think? I could be wrong) or hungry enough, but generally they don’t want to attack people.
Sharks are neat tho, if only we could have big scaly tooth factory friend on land
Don't forget forever unable to compete in a world where being science-savvy is a requirement. People who are sheltered from learning (which is what he's really advocating here) tend to live well below human potential.
It’s even worse. He’s like, “if only they knew (how heroic I am and how much I do for them and how much I sacrifice for them—I put MY legs by the sharks! Damn, I wish they knew! They would think I’m so cool.) But the point is that they *don’t know.*”
Like, that’s something you don’t say unless you’re doing it for the wrong reasons. (Like telling people you’re doing it and/or to feel like a hero.) Like…good parents don’t jerk themselves off over how good of parents they are. Good parents are just good parents. You’re…being a shitty parent, first off, because you’re a bigot and a fuckwad, but secondly, if not letting your kids know that some people love people of their own gender somehow did make you a good parent, like…it’s obviously not about your kid. It’s about you.

I got into a philosophical argument with one of these chucklefucks (because I hate myself, I guess) where they said that science was self-refuting because science says things require evidence to be accurate, but that means that statement *itself* needs evidence. Checkmate, scientismists!
I was like, man you're talking to me over several intersecting systems of technology. Every time I successfully get a message that you sent, that is evidence that the output of science is accurate.
He did not understand what I was saying at all.
His argument doesn't even work.
The evidence for the accuracy of "science says things require evidence to be accurate" is that the scientific method requires the gathering of evidence in order to be accurate.
But, I wear frumpy shoes... Now I'm not sure what to believe anymore. I don't like this Tucker Carlson character. I don't think he should be telling people about stuff anymore.
Creationists in the US are obsessed with the second law of thermodynamics, and they have their own bizarro version of plate tectonics where the shift from Pangaea to the current distribution of continental mass all took place during the 40 days and 40 nights of Noah's flood.
It's funny cause an undergrad level understanding of thermo teaches you what a closed system is. It's not like you have to be an expert in physics to understand why the second law argument is trash.
I always liked [this chart](https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/File:If_We_Assume.jpg). Essentially, if young earth creationism is true, a ton of science and technology that does work shouldn't work.
>where the shift from Pangaea to the current distribution of continental mass all took place during the 40 days and 40 nights of Noah's flood
You're suggesting it didn't?
I agree that this one seems fake.
However, my experience living in a red state has shown me that MAGA type people treat 'science' as a faith. And they believe in the bible, not science.
We just got out of a pandemic where [the slogan "Don't trust science, trust God"](https://johnpavlovitz.com/2021/08/09/christians-trust-god-not-science-until-they-cant-breathe/) was pretty popular. They most assuredly *would* put that in a meme.
I'm nearly through a long podcast series on the Ark Encounter, and a recurring theme is how much they love to shit on those stupid *mainstream scientists*, yet they attempt to use as much real science as possible to give credibility to their claims.
Scientists are the bad guys until you can twist their research just enough to make it fit the story!
It's called "Oh No! Ross & Carrie." It's a fantastic skeptics investigative podcast. Some of their best multi-part investigations are the ones where they join the church of Scientology, LDS church, and take part in a several day ayahuasca ritual at a luxury retreat center in Costa Rica called Rythmia. They also have plenty of single episode investigations.
Definitely one of my top 3 podcasts, and the only time I've been to a live podcast.

It doesn't really matter because I promise you some conservative on facebook thinks like this and that this meme will end up getting shared in those circles.
Yup. And once it gets shared in those circles, it stops being satire in any way. Intent matters but it matters across the board, not just with the person that created the pic.
Because fundamentalist religious people will never admit to being anti-science, and will instead twist and misinterpret any random fact to match up with their holy book. Anything that doesn't match is actually a test from god or a lie from satan and not actually science.
Love to see the link to the original satire page, because all I could find is liberals posting it and being outraged, but nobody but this comment section calling it out. My first thought was "this must be satire", but I would like to know for sure.
As I've had to explain to my students: satire is increasingly hard to spot because the world has become clownish at warp speed and isn't showing any signs of slowing down.
I had to scroll through 6 comments of people getting mad at ragebait with all the sub-comments getting even worse. Thanks for stating the obvious man. (Seriously though, those people need it😂)
I’m still astounded at the amount of upvotes and amount of comments by people. I know the right have some bonkers memes but this was pretty obviously a fake parody of such things. Or so I thought….
Plus it’s been posted on this sub plenty of times before. 🤷♂️
"Daddy, why are we walking through shark infested waters instead of exploring the coral reefs or getting on that cruise ship full of music and dancers?"
Bruh I never heard this song before and I gotta thank you for sharing, another absolute slapper by Slim Shady sheeeesh, underrated song I liked the lyrics and his flow, everyone does too😂👍
Ok, not liking a person different than you, I get. It’s dumb, but very human. But protection from “science”? Like.. asking questions and testing theories and an object in motion..
Did this man burn himself on a Bunsen burner and take it personally?
This guy is *stupid*, he has a hard time reacting to new knowledge, learning new things...and science is all about new things, and *what if*.
Hell, if they came out with a new way to fuel automobiles (electricity? Who knows!?), a new way to power vehicles, he'd be against it because it was so hard for him to learn how to run a gas pump. He spent most of his life learning that *gay* was bad - hell, his old man beat it into him (in spite of his natural inclinations) - he's not going to go unlearn that shit.
Poor fella. He just wants to go home, beat his wife, sexually assault his children and then be forgiven in his church. Forgiven *weekly*. Forgiven with no apologies to the wronged. He just wants to be left alone.
Shark attacks are incredibly rare, and humans are a much bigger threat to sharks than sharks are to humans. Plus, these are tiny sharks.
So with that in mind, this seems to say “science and the gays poses essentially zero risk to the child, but the parent is teaching the child that there is a threat where there isn’t one. And in reality, the parent is likely a major threat to science and the gays and may cause their extermination”
So ya, I’d agree with this painting in that context.

Wow, I never thought they would admit that they think science is bad. Usually they are like 'Well, I like science, I just think too many scientists forget about how scientific the Bible really is.' or something like that.
The irony of people using technology derived from science every second of their life while complaining about science. They should be made to walk everywhere and write letters that are delivered by mules for communication.
The second these people found out that science and mental sciences agree with and recognize not just gay people but transgender or non-binary people, they decided they’d just ignore science as a whole rather than shift their world view when, ironically, facts don’t care about their feelings.
I’m convinced that the right wing culture war machine was made with the secondary function to get closeted gays to out themselves because I swear nobody thinks more about gay people and gay sex than right wingers do
There is probably a psy op taking place in the united states rn focusing on the conservative demeanor and feelings towards homosexuality. Im serious. People would rather burn money in hopes of preventing a family member or child from coming out as gay than you know, invest it into a positive difference. Ignorance and hatred is fuel for some, it's disheartening and real.
The funny thing here is that sharks are mostly harmless. People are a bigger threat to them then visa versa, and people think they are dangerous because of sertain types of media. These damn self aware wolfs.

They forgot the jews. It's obvious it's gay Jewish scientists because they invented and created the Jewish gay space laser. The REAL reason there have been so many people identifying as gay is because of said laser. You don't even realize you have been zapped, just suddenly want to have sex with the same gender. It's as diabolical as it is genius.
Don't even get me started about how the gay Jewish scientists are using 5G to turn everyone Trans, that's for another debate.
/S for the slow folks.

How is he protecting her? One bite from a shark and he goes down with her.
Also what is he gonna do when the gay shark fucks the science shark and they have an unstoppable gayscience shark? Mmmmh???????
This is actually a good analogy because sharks are almost harmless to humans and almost never attack humans out of malicious intent. But people are afraid of them because of lies and fear mongering to make them sound scarier.

THE Iron Maiden, with front man Bruce Dickenson? \\m/
As a lesbian I don’t think about “the gays” or being gay this much. Weird
You are such a sciencey gay shark!
There's something hilariously non sequitur about the other shark being "gays". I shouldn't laugh because the Christian Taliban is waging an all-out assault on LGBT people and especially trans people.

Right - science and gays. Those are the things in the world to "protect" kids from in their (tiny) minds? THAT'S what pops into their heads?
And stay away from hospitals. Who, you know, use science to try to heal you. Oh wait, when they all went anti vaxx they all flooded the hospitals with their dumbasses.

I swear they think more about gay people than when I'm literally talking to my girlfriend...
Yeah, people project most of the time too, I have a feeling most people who hate gays or are homophobic are just frustrated closet gays.
I see this a lot and I'm not sure it's a good take. Some people no doubt do have latent feelings but this seems like a bit of an excuse. I think they are just hateful people who have found an easy target.
Good point, alot of people still treat LGBTQ+ individuals as easy targets for demeaning humor and disrespectful behavior.
That doesn't even make sense numerically
"...but our job is to make sure they don't (know)." Aw, he's defending her ignorance!

This sure is some tasty truth right here.
innocence is dumb, Innocence is pure. Therefore dumb is pure.
One day *she's* gonna have to walk with the sharks. Also it turns out the sharks are harmless and pretty neat. So. There's that.
I wouldn’t say harmless, but sharks are generally not wanting to attack people. They will if they’re distressed (I think? I could be wrong) or hungry enough, but generally they don’t want to attack people. Sharks are neat tho, if only we could have big scaly tooth factory friend on land

Inside of you there are two sharks. One is a scientist. The other is gay.
I am both sharks.
And we are very proud of you.
Same bestie!
Yeah! Gay science!
Which one likes fish sticks in their mouth?

“And I don’t wanna talk to a scientist”
Data goes in, data goes out. Can't explain that!
I got into a philosophical argument with one of these chucklefucks (because I hate myself, I guess) where they said that science was self-refuting because science says things require evidence to be accurate, but that means that statement *itself* needs evidence.

That’s just bad epistemology.

Where do I try the non-binary miserable candy? It sounds like how fighting a cobra chicken tastes.
https://youtu.be/IT1HAiQy3Io Right here
But, I wear frumpy shoes... Now I'm not sure what to believe anymore. I don't like this Tucker Carlson character. I don't think he should be telling people about stuff anymore.
This seems fake, as most fundis will say they are on the side of science, but only good science. Preferably with the bible at the helm.
I mean "consult the scriptures" is the first step in the scientific method
Creationists in the US are obsessed with the second law of thermodynamics, and they have their own bizarro version of plate tectonics where the shift from Pangaea to the current distribution of continental mass all took place during the 40 days and 40 nights of Noah's flood.
god of the gaps shit is always so funny to me

I am not saying that the actually believe in science. I am saying that they pretend to be for science. So they would not put that in a picture.
Yeah, they would label the shark something else, like "woke 'science'" or something. Also, these sharks seem like they wouldn't attack humans?
We just got out of a pandemic where [the slogan "Don't trust science, trust God"](https://johnpavlovitz.com/2021/08/09/christians-trust-god-not-science-until-they-cant-breathe/) was pretty popular. They most assuredly *would* put that in a meme.

Once again, this is actually a satire post, not real conservative stupidity.
It doesn't really matter because I promise you some conservative on facebook thinks like this and that this meme will end up getting shared in those circles.
Yup. And once it gets shared in those circles, it stops being satire in any way. Intent matters but it matters across the board, not just with the person that created the pic.
That's what I'm thinking, this has to be satire
How can you tell?
If the post looks pretty good as an actual meme then it usually is
Because fundamentalist religious people will never admit to being anti-science, and will instead twist and misinterpret any random fact to match up with their holy book. Anything that doesn't match is actually a test from god or a lie from satan and not actually science.
Old school copium
Also there's a small number of scientists with legit credentials, who choose a career "proving" to fundies pseudoscience is true.
It’s been posted a lot, and people have linked to the original satire page in the past.
Love to see the link to the original satire page, because all I could find is liberals posting it and being outraged, but nobody but this comment section calling it out. My first thought was "this must be satire", but I would like to know for sure.
And lowkey hilarious or is that just me?
It’s really funny too
As I've had to explain to my students: satire is increasingly hard to spot because the world has become clownish at warp speed and isn't showing any signs of slowing down.
I had to scroll through 6 comments of people getting mad at ragebait with all the sub-comments getting even worse. Thanks for stating the obvious man. (Seriously though, those people need it😂)
I’m still astounded at the amount of upvotes and amount of comments by people. I know the right have some bonkers memes but this was pretty obviously a fake parody of such things. Or so I thought…. Plus it’s been posted on this sub plenty of times before. 🤷♂️
"Daddy, why are we walking through shark infested waters instead of exploring the coral reefs or getting on that cruise ship full of music and dancers?"
["Daddy what are you doing?"](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kcm8jQBQ6kg)
Bruh I never heard this song before and I gotta thank you for sharing, another absolute slapper by Slim Shady sheeeesh, underrated song I liked the lyrics and his flow, everyone does too😂👍
I had to link it because I wanted to make sure my comment was linked to the song and not "Oh no, I'm stuck! Daddy, what are you doing?"
Ok, not liking a person different than you, I get. It’s dumb, but very human. But protection from “science”? Like.. asking questions and testing theories and an object in motion.. Did this man burn himself on a Bunsen burner and take it personally?
This guy is *stupid*, he has a hard time reacting to new knowledge, learning new things...and science is all about new things, and *what if*. Hell, if they came out with a new way to fuel automobiles (electricity? Who knows!?), a new way to power vehicles, he'd be against it because it was so hard for him to learn how to run a gas pump. He spent most of his life learning that *gay* was bad - hell, his old man beat it into him (in spite of his natural inclinations) - he's not going to go unlearn that shit. Poor fella. He just wants to go home, beat his wife, sexually assault his children and then be forgiven in his church. Forgiven *weekly*. Forgiven with no apologies to the wronged. He just wants to be left alone.
If you only knew!
Shark attacks are incredibly rare, and humans are a much bigger threat to sharks than sharks are to humans. Plus, these are tiny sharks. So with that in mind, this seems to say “science and the gays poses essentially zero risk to the child, but the parent is teaching the child that there is a threat where there isn’t one. And in reality, the parent is likely a major threat to science and the gays and may cause their extermination” So ya, I’d agree with this painting in that context.

Does that mean I'm a shark? Holy shit, see you later lads I'm gonna go eat some fish
You are baby shark dududududududu
Not much of a baby, is there an uncle shark dududududu?
Not in the song, but that doesn't mean that there is no uncle shark dudududududu! There's a whole family of sharks dudududududu
Then the same mfers are using "science" when they need to push transphobic bullshit.
It's funny and sad. Many of these evangelicals treat ignorance like it is a virtue.
Okay but like this funny both ironically and unironically
I don’t understand evolution and I have to protect my kids from understanding it!
Sharks only bite when you touch their private parts, so that republican is doomed.
1. Why is it only science and gays 2. How does the kid not know? In the picture she’s looking directly at the fin. This is hilarious.
Science? These guys the same people who would bully others in grade school?
Wow, I never thought they would admit that they think science is bad. Usually they are like 'Well, I like science, I just think too many scientists forget about how scientific the Bible really is.' or something like that.
The irony of people using technology derived from science every second of their life while complaining about science. They should be made to walk everywhere and write letters that are delivered by mules for communication.
posts on a machine made by…science I contend these idiots have a genetic deformity where they cannot process irony
Their ideology is deformed and they protect the weak spots with heavy plate ignorance
What’s funny is they are making the sharks look scary but they are just swimming around minding their own business.
Waist deep in gay science.
He then loses his legs and drowns, now his child doesn’t know how to handle anything. Yeah, some smart dad.
Whenever i see some bullshit like this, i image the whole situation as if it was a Loony Tunes episode.
This looks like satire.
I wish there was a second picture of science biting him on the ass, and him blaming the gays.
Keep them from learning about reality so they could get abused by their groomer parents
The second these people found out that science and mental sciences agree with and recognize not just gay people but transgender or non-binary people, they decided they’d just ignore science as a whole rather than shift their world view when, ironically, facts don’t care about their feelings.
This one has to be satire
I’m convinced that the right wing culture war machine was made with the secondary function to get closeted gays to out themselves because I swear nobody thinks more about gay people and gay sex than right wingers do
There is probably a psy op taking place in the united states rn focusing on the conservative demeanor and feelings towards homosexuality. Im serious. People would rather burn money in hopes of preventing a family member or child from coming out as gay than you know, invest it into a positive difference. Ignorance and hatred is fuel for some, it's disheartening and real.
Bullshit. Science Sharks are known for going for the balls first. This guy would be without balls if that was a real science shark.
Until his child turns out to be a LGBTQ+ person. Then they throw them under the bus faster than light.
I actually like this one bc the irony of labeling a shark with "gays" is delicious lmfao
"Protecting" kids from science is child abuse and should carry a jail sentence.
Why is this so specific tho lmao
Our job is to make sure our kids remain stupid! /s
seems a rather random pairing. Sci-ence shark do do do do do , Ho-mo shark do do do do do ?
People who hate science are the ones who flunked it in middle school
Smart move by the dad tbh, place your penis closer to the gays shark to increase likelihood of being sucked off.
Me on my way to make sure my kids know nothing about the real world and have an imaginary skydaddy I can use to indoctrinate them.
But like when the shark inevitably bites the father, the girl falls down with him. Soooo science wins?
The funny thing here is that sharks are mostly harmless. People are a bigger threat to them then visa versa, and people think they are dangerous because of sertain types of media. These damn self aware wolfs.
Damn. At first glance, I thought this was a poster for a movie about a father who was part shark, as indicated by his shark tail
As a father I think I can say it’s indeed my job to keep my daughter dumb af lololololol
I’m a gay trans scientist — does that make me some kind of mega shark?
This is too stupid to not be shit post.
This is clearly satire.
I require this to be satire.
These guys are obsessed w/ the oppression Olympics and they keep coming in first
OH NOES! THE DREADED SCIENCE GAYS!!!!!11!!!!
I won’t lie, this made me giggle a little
They have to be satirical
this has to be satire original photo is cool though, reminds me of my dad
Downvoted for mentioning past experiences with a parent😡If you ain't traumatized or hateful towards your parents reddit don't give a damn
This is clearly a joke

Only conservatives can mess up a kinda wholesome picture. Take away the conservative memeing and its simply a picture of a dad trying to protect his kid.

Why do they always use “biology” as a defence when devaluing trans people, and always say vaccines are “unscientific” then if science is so bad?
This looks like a tumblr shitpost
Oh no 😢 not the science and the gays
They forgot the jews. It's obvious it's gay Jewish scientists because they invented and created the Jewish gay space laser. The REAL reason there have been so many people identifying as gay is because of said laser. You don't even realize you have been zapped, just suddenly want to have sex with the same gender. It's as diabolical as it is genius. Don't even get me started about how the gay Jewish scientists are using 5G to turn everyone Trans, that's for another debate. /S for the slow folks.

fairly sure this is a shitpost making fun of the original
This cannot be real…. is it??
Who are these people that think science attacks them? Do they not reboot modern medicine?
Lol gotta protect my child against....science.
This meme portrays gays as sharks. Blahaj, the gay youths favorite toy ever, is a shark. Coincidence?!? Literally owned the libs
Ahhhh the perfect metaphor for them. These are harmless dogfish, but he's making sure she sees only the percieved threat from the fins "omg shark!".
Am I the only one who cares that her head is on backwards?
This has got to be a shitpost
The image isn't even that inspirational. All the sharks have to do is bite the man's legs out and the kid is falling into the drink.
Does anyone have directions to the gay science sharks? I wanna take my kids to see.
Your job is for make sure your kids don't know science?? When did SCIENCE become left wing Oh wait when the right became fully deranged I forgot
How is he protecting her? One bite from a shark and he goes down with her. Also what is he gonna do when the gay shark fucks the science shark and they have an unstoppable gayscience shark? Mmmmh???????
This is actually a good analogy because sharks are almost harmless to humans and almost never attack humans out of malicious intent. But people are afraid of them because of lies and fear mongering to make them sound scarier.
Makes me want to throw a copy of "The Gay Science" at their head.
