As a biologist, I'm always extremely frustrated at how parts of the general public believe they can just ignore our entire field of study and pretend their common sense and Google is equivalent to our work. "race is a biological fact!", "RNA vaccines will change your cells!", "gender is a biological fact!" and I was about to comment how other natural sciences have it good... But thinking about it, everyone suddenly thinks they're a gravity and quantum physics expert, and I'm sure chemists must also see some crazy shit online, so at the end of the day, everyone must be very frustrated.

Internet comments become a lot more bearable if you imagine a preface before all of them that reads “As a random dumbass on the internet,”
