Nowhere in this post do I see a proper explanation of what the fuck we're looking at here. It has to do with the Mars Rover... aaaand...?

What is "The abraded patch"? Is that something a casual observer is just supposed to know?

How does anybody expect anybody else to get interested in science or NASA when images with no context are seemingly the norm?

What makes this interesting? Why did they take a picture of it? What are we even looking at?

No? None of that information? Then who the fuck even cares?

Someone like you, who comes into a calm, science-oriented community with F-bombs and complete cluelessness, should be able to understand this:

I didn't study geology or science for years to answer questions from the likes of you. You want a guide? F*** you, pay me.

No one owes you and your s***ty attitude a damned thing. Don't presume that your talk about "getting interested in science" is fooling anybody or represents anyone else, nor does it make up for your entitlement. Paul Hammond and other volunteers here are doing an amazing job. You want better, do it yourself.
