What the fuck is livestock inversion studies?

[–] Hardeehar 24 points 1 year ago

"What the fuck is livestock inversion studies?", my mother exclaimed with tears in her eyes while her shaking hands grasped the course syllabus.

Aren't all major technically made up?

Also, Semantics & Pedantry 101.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

101

I think a major in Semantics & Pedantry would impress your mom, but specifically majoring in the intro-level course is a risky decision.

This guy pedants

[–] TehBamski 2 points 1 year ago

Technically the truth. Just like how humans named the brain.

Bottom 101: It's better to receive than to give.

How about a non made up one: Egyptology

[–] PP_BOY_ 22 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The only useful thing you can do with a degree in Egyptology is to teach Egyptplogy, which gives those students the exact same problem. It's like a big pyramid scheme.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Aye, and everyone's keeping their heads in the sand about it.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I prefer Sudanology

By cry, do you mean tears of disappointment or tears of joy?

So your mom likes sexism, or would they be tears of joy?
