I've noticed that the nerd meme communities here are just as, if not more, pedantic than the ones on reddit

Edit: oh yea that's also literally the first thing I thought when I read the post, whoops, I'm also a pedantic nerd, I just didn't bother commenting it

Some of us don't want to feel superior, we just want to share.

Not me though. I'm better than all of you. /joke

I'm a filthy degenerate so that's probably true

If you are better you won't be finite.

OG reddit was way more pedantic.

Well now I want to know what they were being pedantic about...

Pure water isn't a good conductor, it needs other stuff mixed in to be a good conductor. Not sure why they deleted their comment. They weren't the one being pedantic, they were complaining that other people in this thread had no sense of humor for calling out the mistake in the original pic.
