people who don't know anything about academics: man y'all are stuffy and boring what's up with that? actual academics: *too busy fist-fighting each other over the beryllium problem or the existence of a dentistry profession in ancient egypt to reply*

[micewithknives]

people who dont know anything about academics: *for some reason have the illusion of everyone in Fancy Academic Clothes doing Boring Research and glossing over Historical Facts Because Historians Dont Like The Truth*

actual academics: someones lying on the floor in a band tshirt they havent changed out of in three days crying over the paper they’re supposed to be writing that was due over a month ago. the whiteboard says “6 hours since our last fight about Whether Silcrete Exists”. someone wants to give their thesis the title “theyre lesbians harold” but cant figure out how to cite a tumblr post as a title because they havent eaten in 48 hours

People who don't know anything about academics: they're keeping this grand conspiracy about these civilizations a secret!!! actual academics: can barely coordinate a time for a Zoom meeting, will infodump about their specialty for hours without prompting

[archaeo-geek]

People who don’t know anything about academics: How dare these stuffy scientists ignore this poor random dude who has a Theory That Changes Everything (and conveniently makes him a small fortune by selling books and DVDs about the Theory) Actual academics: Has already patiently explained to 40 different people why the Theory That Changes Everything doesn’t make any sense and is also kinda racist, but nobody is hyping their answer because it doesn’t make anybody money or make them feel extra special.

[rudjedet]

Also actual academics in this case: *vibrating with the only barely controlled need to throat punch Erich von Däniken the dude hawking the Theory of Racist Lies*

I mean if you want I can show you 😌

The funniest thing about this post is that every single thread version of it (and there are quite a few by now) has the same two base responses:

non-academics/people who have no experience with academia: lmao this isn't true, exaggerated for sure

academics/people who have experience with academia: this is so real I watched my prof pull someone from another faculty across the restaurant table after a conference last year

I had a friend who was doing a study that required data that had been patiently collected (and was still being collected) since the late 1960s. And when he looked at the data he realized that it had been collected in a way that was accurate for the late 1960s but was unusably inaccurate now- and the kicker was, they were STILL COLLECTING IT THAT WAY. ALL of the data was unusable. The data they collected last week was unusable. They had never bothered to change it because 'it had always been done that way' and it was this low-priority 'super long period of time' -style study. And now the data was useless and all that time and effort was for nothing. The guy who had originally been in charge of the study retired in like 2010, and my friend's boss was so incandescent with fury he found out where the guy lived and DROVE TO HIS HOUSE ready to fistfight an old man in his front yard, a couple of his students had to hold him back

This is only tangentially related but non academics also don’t realize how fundamentally messy academics are. There’s a conference in my field that’s KNOWN for breaking up marriages because of all the cheating
