The Falsifiability Feline
The kitten's journey through scientific gatekeeping is peak academic humor. It's all fun and games dismissing political science, social science, and computer science with a casual "hehe" until someone brings up Karl Popper's falsifiability criterion to attack string theory. Suddenly it's "not hehe" when the same logic is applied to theoretical physics! Nothing triggers a physics enthusiast faster than suggesting their beloved string theory might be in the same boat as sociology. The methodological turf war continues, while this kitten inadvertently exposes the arbitrary hierarchies we create within scientific disciplines.

Not All Physics Fields Are The Same
Hard matter physicists turning down soft matter physics like it's a sketchy drug deal! The guy's rejecting that pink foam (probably some polymer or colloid) while keeping his precious crystals safe on a plate. The hierarchy in physics is real - crystallographers and quantum folks looking down on anyone studying squishy things. Meanwhile, soft matter physicists are over here making your shampoo work better and explaining why ketchup gets stuck in the bottle. But sure, keep your rigid lattices and pretend that's the only "real physics." ๐Ÿ™„
