Every single one of them look like their eyes are about to roll right out of their heads.
I mean, at most meetings I shift between holding back rolling my eyes, and forcing them open so I don’t fall asleep.
Literally just a person talking in a group to other people. How is this a science meme?
When you work at a university the marketing department is always a meme.
When I was in college, the science department was a group of people at a table going, “Hey nerd! I bet you like computers, don’t you?”
And I did and I walked over.
It’s our word now
Us nerds might not run the world, but we run the Internet which all the non-nerds depend on. Checkmate,

We can’t have a dude explain things to girls because girls can’t be interested in what a guy has to say. Girls good. Guys bad.
I choose to believe the more wholesome version that this is their gay, autistic, and genuinely endearing friend who got started on his special interest without realizing that nobody else cared, and his friends otherwise like him enough that they’re trying to figure out how to move the conversation forward without hurting his feelings after they all lost interest minutes ago.
“So during Star Trek V: The Final Frontier, Spock is passing through decks in the Enterprise, and we see one called Deck 78. Now you see, this class of Enterprise only has 23 decks, and so unless we assume someone misnamed this deck, how did this one get here? Some fans have speculated that maybe maybe Q put it there as a practical joke to confuse the audience, but why would Q use the number 78 specifically? This could be a reference to the episode All Our Yesterdays in The Original Series which is production code 78. In this episode, Spock reverts to being emotional like his primitive ancestors after traveling back through time, and this could be hinting to the idea that he secretly feels emotions for his half-brother Sybok who’s the antagonist of the movie.”
Go on…
How is that more wholesome than “person speaking in a group”?
The interpretation in the rest of this thread is that this man is being a sexist, condescending douchebag to his peers. I hope “overly enthusiastic about your favorite subjects” is better than that.
Fair enough. But it doesn’t look like either of those, it’s looks like a tutor or study group and they’re literally just having a conversation. I guess I’m not surprised some people on lemmy don’t know what a conversation among friends looks like.
I dunno, the one in the top right looks like she’s seriously reconsidering her life choices…
Yeah i said “a tutor or study group”
Do you even study something if you don’t reconsider your life choices at a regular basis?
Neither do you, it seems. Given this is an ad for a university, it’s pretty clear to me this is intended to represent some type of group project or study group.
Doesn’t imply they’re friends at all.
I literally said “like a tutor or study group”

Why can’t there just not be people deciding he’s being condescending for being straight and tutoring some girls?
Because if you don’t create division, how will the billionaires get even more rich?
Its ok. He’s probably explaining how menstruation works
I’m more intrigued by what appears to be a ghost arm behind his right shoulder.
It’s the hair of yet another lady sitting in the background.
Okay, the building name is the chef’s kiss.
Nice! Amazing what a few extra pixels can do.
I thought he had a huge ponytail
Fats his fabulous raccoon’s tail.
Dude must drive a

a ghost arm behind his right shoulder.
The arm of the student who literally died of boredom.
It’s actually 40k Lore studies
Do you like 40k lore?
No.
Coolsothisonetimetherewasanorkcaptain.
Their facial expressions are like they think Magnus did nothing wrong.
All of those faces look really annoyed.
If it doesn’t scream “mansplaining” it at least says “this meeting could have been an email”.
How about a masters in propaganda on social media?
That’s called Marketing.
The term “public relations” is literally propaganda to make propaganda look better. It was just called propaganda before WWII but then there was a propaganda campaign to increase local resistance to propaganda from the Nazis and then the Communists. And it worked, so they needed more propaganda to get the local propaganda to work again.
Those women are waiting for him to finish so they can correct the numerous errors in his scientific reasoning.
It’s true. He’s the student trying to work through his proposal.
“It’s about this long”
“I’d never pooped a log so big before and didn’t realize it was possible”
“Had to hand-lower it in to prevent splashback. WorkSafe you know”
About 5.5" standard sized.
I hate that I have to political aline with these people
Who are these people?
Edit: interesting couple of answers here
People who just assume that the add is sexist because a man is talking to women.
Nobody is calling the ad sexist lol. The joke is that it’s a bad picture because all the women look bored/unimpressed/annoyed.
I need to get off social media. My brain is just fucked up from the constant hostility.
The Dutch.
People with a sense of humour.
Mainsplaining sounds more like a liberal arts degree to me.
Yeah, and those are for women /s
It’s so funny because he looks so sincere and precious and all the women look so annoyed but polite haha

I never help a female coworker who needs assistance or guidance cause I’ll just be accused of mansplaining. So I let them drown and get called an asshole who doesn’t help so you lose either way.
If only there was a way of helping without being condescending or immediately assuming oneself to be more knowledgeable or capable on a topic with nothing to base it on other than physical appearance.
Perhaps you could even ask if they want help first. Crazy idea.
let’s not get too extreme here
What’s wrong with asking?
you tell me, since you said you’d rather not help at all
