    I was talking to someone and guess what, he was only one of a handful of people in the world to have a PhD on Polar bears.

      Did you know that, individually, under close examination, polar bear fur is made of tiny little clear, not white hairs. Each hair is an empty tube. It actually only appears white because each tube contains a white colored neurotoxin. That’s why you should never get close to a polar bear.

          Yeah. Arctic Elephant in the room, a polar bear can keep you tied up for hours with droll stories about their latest dumb north pole vacation. No cares, Klaus! It’s always just ice and snow and seal flesh and ‘it was a cool time’! No one cares if you ‘almost’ ate a scientist, again.

    I don’t get it, is it meant to be a joke about how the experts (most famously engineers) have terrible spelling (tbf in my experience it’s more so the grammar)?

    …or is the joke that the man in the comic thinks everyone on social media who talks about a subject like they’re an expert is an actual expert which is seldom the case, despite the poor spelling giving away that they might be in fact just opinionated 14-year olds (or in a more contemporary sense accounting for birthrates likely senile 84-year olds)?
