Fuckin assholes stole my idea and had it patented 30 years before I was born!
“What do you mean a double gyroscopic core self-rectifying monorail was built in 1962?! Thats impossible…”
Was your idea time travel?
Context for us uneducated?
Step 1. Have an idea
Step 2. Google idea
Step 3. Someone thought of it before you were born
Even worse if you think your idea is just the best darn thing to come along since sliced bread. And then Dr. 1995 comes along and lays out the whole thing in a footnote in a paper on a different topic.
Which most likely is written in much more detail than you ever could do.
Step 3 doesn’t need to be before you were born, just a seemingly long time ago. 1995 definitely wouldn’t be before the person in the picture was born.
Nearly all of the grad students today were born after 95
you have a genius giga brain blast moment, you feel like the most intelligent person on the world, and you immediately google it.
Only to find that it’s been a thing for the last 50 years and nobody seems to care about it…
Okay thanks, thought i missed something that was being referenced
yeah no you’re not missing out on anything except despair lol
Oh no. No no no. That ive got in spades. Feel free to steal as much of it as you want from me, it won’t be missed if you do
fair enough, i’ve got plenty myself though, maybe you can sell it someone else.
I guess you could just take the shotgun approach and come up with so many completely crazy hypotheses that one of them is bound to be correct eventually.
I think p-hacking was invented sometime around the 90s as well, congratulations you matched the meme!
“I know that, that doesn’t matter, I know you Mr. Rainey, that’s what matters. You stole my story.”
Do a confirmation study?
Actually no.
Realistically, I was never going to capitalize on the idea anyway. but on top of that if someone else has already had the idea and it’s at least mildly successful then boom: automatic validation that it was a good idea.deleted by creator
I call it, “Billy and the Cloneasaurus.”
