    We’re expected to believe that the peacocks personally recounted their lineage? In English? I feel like the author is just making things up at that point.

    Well after these peacocks were crushed by a piano, they might have been unable to recount anything at all.

    I dunno, but I feel like the author might have taken some creative liberties here...

    At first I thought it was satire, but when I saw the writer had the scientific Pokédex entries I knew it was legit

    I was tired of being a Darwinist. Now I follow the writings of Dickens; I'm a Dickhead.

    So this is obviously satire but reading this it just sounded way too close to current reality for comfort.

    I know that parts of the document are acme levels over the top but other parts sincerely read as if written by your average Maga idiot

    The first tell was the author using the first person, and the next tell was the piano falling.

    I only read the abstract. So I missed the piano falling part entirely.

    “I first went about the humane capture of the wildlife of C-100. A few peacocks were caught with bear traps, an iguana was captured via a falling piano,  and a peacock bass was shot in the face with a shotgun, all in line with the standards set by the Florida Constitution [3].”

    The inclusion of Pokédex Entry numbers is great.
    Also, I like the sources cited for the paper. One of them is "Pigeon-Elephant Theory: the real origin of humans – Journal of Astrological Big Data Ecology by B McGraw"

    Is there money in writing crap "research" papers like this?

    I would be fine doing this under a pseudonym. But I know UFO researchers really have to hustle a ton. So maybe not?

    Truly gold.

    Edit: Didn't realize this was Immaterial Science - my favorite is the FUPLC-NMR-CE6-GC-IR-ICP-MS-MS-MS-MS (pdf warning)

    Only a few bites because people, understandably, aren't biting that headline.

    Share a screenshot of the article instead and they'll be all over it.
