There's a little bit of geekiness in all of us. Who doesn't have that one thing about which they strangely know a lot and pride themselves on being experts? Whether it’s gardening, the Harry Potter universe, or video games, it’s not such a bad thing to channel our inner Sheldon Cooper sometimes. Sure, he's a bit socially awkward, but that doesn’t take away from his charm.

The subreddit we’re looking at today is exactly that—nerdy and a little bit challenged in the adequacy department. Its 17.6k members, or as they call themselves, delusionists, are entitled to discuss everything from Sigmund Freud to Star Wars. So without further ado, we invite you to scroll through the best that the subreddit "Delusions of Adequacy” has to offer.

Tip: read Austen before you read Dickens. It's soooooo much easier to understand the language of Georgian UK than Victorian UK.

Also the barrier created by the difference in language is real. Functionally speaking, a book written in modern-day Japanese is easier for me to read than a book written in sufficiently old English, and not coincidentally, I have read more of the former than the latter.

    One must wonder what exactly "Delusions of Adequacy" means. Well, it’s an ironic variation of a previous term, “delusions of grandeur,” which is a person’s false belief about their own greatness and skills. When you think that someone has delusions of adequacy, you're actually insulting them by saying that they're incorrect to even think they could be competent enough to do or think of something. This definition is linked to the type of content the members of this page are sharing, like “feigned intelligentsia” and “blatant dumb-assery.”

    Our cat likes to play fetch. When we are not around or when we can't play with him he will play by himself. He takes the ball to the top of the staircase then lets it roll to the bottom. He then chases after it. He does this for a while and has a lot of fun.

    My wife and I have a cat that would play fetch with plastic spider rings (the kind you can get near Halloween) when she was younger. I'd be in the recliner watching TV and she'd jump up in my lap, drop one of them, then wait for me to throw it across the room. She'd dash after it, grab it, and bring it back for me to do it again . . . two or three times. After that she'd drop it halfway back, but still jump up in the recliner and look up at me like she was waiting for me to throw it again. She's not a very smart cat.

    This isn't just done with gender, it is done with race, political party, ... People add in this even though it has no bearing on the subject at hand. And a "new one" that bored panda engages in all the time is generation. You look at them say something like "boomers" think this or are wrong about that. When you get to the statements you find that they have very little to do with being that generation, and everything to do with different personality types or are in fact non generational at all.

    One of my biggest pet peeves EVER: when I refer to someone as "Dr. ___" (and I haven't specified their gender) people always immediately refer to the person as "he" or ask me if they "make me call them Dr. ____." ......... women can be doctors too, and if they worked to earn their doctorate or medical degree, then of course they should be referred to as such.

    My default is gender neutral, even with doctors. It helps that the physician or PA I see, since I lose track of which one the person is, is non-binary, so "they" would be what I used for them anyway, even if gender neutral wasn't my default.

    Whether "male" or "female" is used prior to a profession is often based on the person's appearance and whether it not the profession is typically seen as dominated by a specific gender. "Male nurse" is used all the time because nurses were primarily "female" for a long time and so despite the word not being gendered.

    Well, to make it fully analogous, you've got to say "man journalist" and "man engineer", because people who specify the gender also tend to mess up the grammar here ('woman' is a noun, 'female' is an adjective).

    Their About Community tab is also quite mysterious. It’s full of cryptic sayings like “the road to adequacy leads through the dark forest of your own inadequacy” and “if you need it explained, you won’t understand, if you understand you won’t need it explained.” When it comes to some of us with below-average brains, we really need to look twice before we can figure this one out.

    However, in a previous interview for Bored Panda (which you can find here), the creator behind this subreddit explained that sometimes he’s confusing on purpose. Those who understand his kind of humor will get it, and those who don’t will never be able to, no matter how much he tries to explain. By being intentionally puzzling, he hopes to encourage people to try and think their way into adequacy (hence the name) and minimize the number of fellows who think they’re smarter than everyone but actually are quite dimwitted.

    I just love how people think they're going to change a smoker's mind by telling them it's dangerous. Literally the whole world knows this. I smoked for 2 years and I didn't stop until I I wanted to, regardless of being a nurse and knowing every health risk. It was a stressful time. I used it to cope and I haven't smoked for more than a decade.

    In 2017- more people died from police violence in 2017 than the total number of U.S. soldiers killed in action around the globe (21). More people died at the hands of police violence in 2017 than the number of black people who were lynched in the worst year of Jim Crow (161 in 1892). Cops killed more Americans last year than terrorists did (4). They killed more citizens than airplanes (13 deaths worldwide), mass shooters (428 deaths in 2017) and Chicago's "top gang thugs" (675 Chicago homicides in 2017).

    Not so long ago, being a nerd like that wasn’t cool. Hobbies such as reading comic books, obsessing over Star Wars, and spending hours at the arcade could’ve gotten you easily teased or bullied, to the point that many kept them to themselves. Imagine it being lame to like Marvel or Call of Duty, especially now when the hidden aspects of nerd culture have made it into the mainstream for everyone to enjoy. Currently, science fiction shows are popular, people crowd comic conventions, and our new heroes are the Michael Ceras and Andrew Garfields.

    Not a bell: “ Pavlov “never trained a dog to salivate to the sound of a bell,” Todes writes. “Indeed, the iconic bell would have proven totally useless to his real goal, which required precise control over the quality and duration of stimuli (he most frequently employed a metronome, a harmonium, a buzzer, and electric shock)”

    The question is, how and why now? The internet has been a game-changer and those who couldn’t keep up with it risked being left behind. Geeks, armed with in-depth knowledge, passions, and skills, were able to quickly adapt to the new technological advancements. In the 1990s, when Silicon Valley, a high-tech industry, started to bloom, faces like Bill Gates and Steve Jobs became huge successes. They changed the way nerds were seen in the media, with a quote floating around that encouraged people to be nice to them because chances are they’ll end up working for one.

    The Christian motivation to be a decent person to others is not a divine reward, but the way God has been gracious to you. John 13:34 says to love others the way Jesus loved others. It doesn't mention to do it so you go to heaven.

    All anger is caused by jealousy. Watching someone do something that I secretly want to do but my moral system won't allow me to do. Anger is the source of all action. Without anger I literally would get nothing done.

    It was also a time of fantasy and science fiction, both previously labeled as nerd territory. Releases like Harry Potter, The Matrix, and The Lord of the Rings broke the geek culture wall. Before that, as a comic-loving moviegoer, the best you could expect was an action movie about The Blade or The Punisher. During the '90s, actors who played nerdy roles were now seen portraying more muscular and tough characters. As a result, the film stars started to flaunt their nerdiness rather than hide it. Now most of us wish we could be Iron Man - a superhero who started off as a geeky engineer.

    A rise in video game popularity also contributed to the nerdy shift. In the '80s, they were still pretty niche, with not a lot of people wanting to play. Not to mention the video game industry crashing down due to the oversaturation of low-quality gadgets. But Nintendo handled this by releasing a new video game console marketed as a children’s toy. The sales skyrocketed, and the success led to the creation of iconic franchises like Super Mario Bros and The Legend of Zelda. Afterward, the appearance of online games and Millennials matured this hobby and proved gaming to be an enjoyable pastime for adults or even a career.

    My grandmother posed for some USO trading cards during WWII. She had a memory book which was just "War Boyfriends" who sent her letters and their picture. The joke was my grandfather rotated home first after the war which is how he won and she got the ring. (I know a big part of it was my Grandmother's brother was in the same unit as my grandpa, so he was a friend of the family, but I still love that story) but yes, my grandma took bikini pictures and kept all the dirty letter she was sent over it. She was very proud

    If only one answer was correct, then the probability would be 25%. But there are two answers with 25% (A&D), so they can’t be right. If two of the answers are correct then the probability would be 50%, but only one answer is 50% (C), so that cannot be right. The only remaining answer is 0% (B), but you can’t have 0% chance of getting it right, and then be right. Therefore, there is no correct answer. :)

    In reconstructed Proto-Celtic there is a word which translates to a "forked stick". It can be masculine, feminine or neuter. As there are seven grammatical cases and three grammatical numbers (single, dual and plural), each of which modify the noun, there are sixty-three ways to say forked stick. I'll see myself out.

    The irony is that, in linguistics, gender can be "male/female" but it could also just as easily mean "tangible/intangible" or any other random dichotomy, or trichotomy... etc. So the jokes where people are like "my gender is " entirely linguistically plausible and fair.

    The best part of this is that there are two different noun phrases for washing machine and .. you guessed it, one masculine and one feminine. La machine à laver (f), or le lave-linge (m). But don’t try and guess genders from the connotations of the object, from guessing it would be sexist or anything like that. There are a few consistent rules that identify feminine, like ‘-ine’ words are feminine, (la machine, la figurine, la terrine) and any double letter then e is feminine (like -ette, or -enne). But mostly you just have to learn it. From my experience listen and read a lot and you’^ll pick them up without trying.

    Also don't beat yourself up over "mis-gendering" a German chair or a French washing machine. People may insist on correcting you, but they WILL understand you.

    It's actually a feature of Indo-European languages. English just lost it early on, though linguists don't really know why but some remnants remain (why do English speakers call ships "she" for example.)

    Well then I've got bad news for you... We've been living through the golden age of dinosaur paleontology but somehow the kids books haven't figured this out. More than 90% of species have been named in the twenty years! Especially China comes up (with boringly/incomprehensibly named ones). But e.g. in 2011 one sauropod got officially named "Thunder thighs", https://www.smithsonianmag.com/science-nature/t-rex-pantydraco-how-dinosaurs-get-their-names-180962602/ So, downvote for being wrong in a 'nerdy' topic, upvote for dinosaurs.

    That happened in the past as well. Taking organisms other than dinosaurs as an example. We have slime moulds named after US politicians. We have "Montypythonoides" for a prehistoric snake. One palaeontologist tried to get "thingodonta" and "weirdodonta" past the gatekeepers. More than half of all birds are called "sparrow = passer". The first dinosaur got called literally "big lizard" when it isn't a lizard and isn't particularly big. Dozens more examples.

    There's a Far Side cartoon in which a caveman scientist says that the spiky bit on the end of a stegosaurus's tail is called a thagomizer - "named for the late Thag Simmons". The comic is hilarious, of course, but what makes it even better is that paleontologists realized that actually, no one had given a name to that part of a dinosaur, and it is now called a thagomizer.

It doesn't make sense but OP was tricked as a child so you don't have exaxctly the best ability for critical thinking then. I agree with you that dividing chess into gendered championships is stupendously stupid.

    Try doing this in a house that you’ve inherited from your husband’s parents. The house is 120 years old. They (in laws ) bought it at an auction, with everything in it. They then lived in it for 50 more years. You start cleaning because you have to, and then discover something you have no idea what it is and spend the next two hours on the internet trying to figure it out.

    The truth is that you can substitute any "system" for "Capitalism" and get the same result. What people don't seem to get is that the "upper class" have always controlled whatever system is in place for their benefit. The other thing that is surprising is that people haven't figured out that their country (usually pointing at the US) isn't Capitalistic, not in the pure sense. It is a mixture of a lot of different "systems", and what is really the "discussion" is what percentage of X and Y to have.

    None of the social concepts works on it's own. The simple reality is: we need parts of capitalism to distribute goods and regulate production. We need a bit of communism to allow for common grounds and fair use of natural resources and we need a fair share of socialism to create equity and fair chances as well as allowing the best qualified people to thrive and expand human development. As long as we don't accept that, well never find peace. All three systems have strengths and weaknesses. If you try to have just one, it'll always fail because some needs will be ignored and force would always be needed to suppress those whose needs cannot be fulfilled. Humanity has facets and different parts of society need different strategies to create fairness. That's not possible in extremist systems. And no, pure socialism has never worked so far. Neither has communism, nor capitalism. It sometimes looked that way when those systems allowed certain things to run on different ideals.

    Capitalism's proponents have done an incredible job of confusing people about what it actually is and isn't. Capitalism isn't synonymous with Markets or Economic Systems. No more than Pug is synonymous for Dog. Economic systems do not exist in bubbles. "Pure" Economic systems cannot exist, they exist within the context of the governance systems of the society. There's a LOT of propaganda about both, all aimed at tricking us into accepting capitalism. I encourage you to do some digging. I find the youtuber SecondThought to have a ton of excellent material on the topic that can help get one started at sorting through the BS.

Some people are authors who write for money and some are artists who write because they feel they must... Martin is the former and that's perfectly OK...

    Funnily that's not what he originally meant. He didn't talk about people accidentally said. He was talking about what people heard if the person said something else. And he said, that what you misheard is what you wanted to hear. But it got twisted to this which is also an example for the Freudian slip, people twisting reality to what they want it to be and meanings to what they want it to be. Souce: my textbook at uni, Psychology and Life, course: basic psychology. Just in case someone wants to look that up

    It's a little more complex than this, as I understand it. The incorrect word is usually something unrelated to the topic, but which you have been thinking about all the time. And being Freudian it's probably sexual.

    But two of the worst parts of animal farming are dairy and egg production. They are the most industrialised and probably inflict the most suffering. Laying chickens are kept in appalling conditions for their entire lives, their beaks are mutilated without pain relief to prevent them from pecking each other to death. Male chicks are thrown into industrial meat grinders at just one day old. Dairy farming is no better. A very high proportion of dairy cows will get mastitis (a very painful infection of the udder) each year. Look ar a picture of a dairy cow, even a prize-winning example, and you can see the pelvic bones jutting out because so much of their energy is burned up producing milk that they can barely eat enough to survive. Sometimes they tread on their own udders and cause horrific injuries.

    I purchased a copy of "Carcinogens in Alcohol" from the Center for Science in the Public Interest back in the early 1980s. Turns out the mass-marketed cheap beer that was so popular in college in the late 1980s (drinking age was 18) was the absolutely most toxic beverage on store shelves and the 25 cents beer taps, which explained the particularly nasty hangovers. They cleaned it up after the study but the brand is still very popular today.

    Yes, that's the point. There are people who are like "why study history or politics or languages or anything but STEM" and then get confused that we still have problems. (For real, the other day I met someone who said if Greta Thunberg really wanted to make a difference, she'd ditch climate activism and become an engineer and invent clean energy instead. I showed as much restraint as I possibly could and pointed out that having safe, cheap, and effective vaccines has not eradicated polio yet, so maybe human behavior does enter into the equation somewhere.)
