Because Science

[Hoofy]

To anyone else with a reasonable intelligence, posting "because science" as an explanation for some kind of phenomenon doesn't make you look clever. In fact, it makes me think that the only reason you think you're clever is because you use the word "science" whenever you can. You also try to assert your self-belief in your own intellect by using "sky fairies" as much as possible, too. You're probably only atheist because you want to fit in with your friends but deep down still believe in a god. You probably failed your GCSE General Science (and were too stupid to be considered for Physics, Chemistry and Biology as separate subjects) - or you cheated. You are ignorant and probably refer to strangers as randoms.

tl;dr: STOP USING THAT PHRASE, YOU MORON!

Why so angry - because science?

I thought it was just another internet meme, like also using the word as a verb, it's just being ironic in a childish way.

Impressive strawman building though

'Need gone' (in the context of internet selling) infuriates me; but then again, that is not hard!

I don't see it as some clever irony. Just comes across as stupid and a misuse of the english language.

Wonder if that's a phrase used in particular parts of the country? I recognise it. Sounds a bit northern. Like "just now" meaning "right now".

That works fine. Sportscar is an object. Science is not an object but the... you can google science.

Internet memes are rarely clever, it's just juvenile humour.

I get a lot of memes (and find them funny... apart from the ermahgerd ones). Just that this one doesn't seem funny and instead seems to be used more to prove something in a lazy fashion. Maybe I'm misreading things.
