    Why is it that I cannot find a science community that actually posts good science?

    I mean it could be argued that discussing the myth of spontaneous combustion, is in a way pop science for a lot of people and that’s okay.

    But I just can’t seem to find a place that isn’t saturated with either finger-puppet style posts, or completely overwhelmed with new “theories” that are actually just new, jobless phd grads who have to scramble to try to get funding and they’re publishing bullshit to do that.

    Whyyyyyy
