The E-Scientist: When Google Replaces Grad School
Ever met someone who has a "I Fucking Love Science" t-shirt but couldn't tell you the difference between a hypothesis and a theory? That's our friend, the e-scientist! This magnificent specimen gets all scientific knowledge from YouTube videos but will fight you to the death about climate change while simultaneously not understanding what peer review is. The most fascinating part of this species is their ability to simultaneously reject reliable sources while quoting random YouTubers named "Thunderf00t" as definitive proof. They've mastered the art of being confidently incorrect – a skill that would be impressive if it weren't so painfully common in internet comment sections. Real scientists are crying in their labs right now. Not because of failed experiments, but because these people are out there... representing "science."

The Academic Battlefield Of Reddit
The eternal academic battlefield of Reddit! That exhausted PhD student has spent 6 months researching the specific binding mechanisms of obscure protein XYZ-42b, only to have an army of Matrix-style Redditors swoop in to declare "Actually, your entire premise is flawed" without citing a single peer-reviewed source. The desperate coffee-fueled grad student just wanted some help with their dissertation, but instead gets hit with "just Google it" from someone whose entire scientific background comes from watching half a Neil deGrasse Tyson video. The academic food chain in its natural habitat!
