Going out on a massive limb here, but didn't they lose because in the last round she made a really bad shot, cancelling his epic bullseye. Hes the prof and the postgrad. He is it all.

There's lots of other guys there that got ignored too. He's only famous because of the basic gear and whole steeze like he could replace Liam Neeson in the next Taken.

even in this photo he sorta looks like he's in an action movie playing the casual badass, it's not rocket science why everyone started talking about him

the guy's really handsome and looks like he's not even wearing hearing protection, quick maffs

I believe you're correct. The best kind of correct

[-] zea_64@lemmy.blahaj.zone 13 points 3 months ago

No way, x is the best kind of x??

[-] user1234@lemmynsfw.com 9 points 3 months ago

According to Hermes, technically correct is the best kind of correct.

According to Number One Point Zero at the Bureau of Bureaucracy.

They didn't lose. They won silver.

"If you ain't first you're last!"

Alternatively:

"Hell, Bobby, I was high when I said that!"

Hmm not gold? Loser

You realize this is just a meme about sexism in science, right? Like why take it so literally?

[-] RustyWizard@programming.dev 41 points 3 months ago

It’s a bad meme. Nothing wrong with the topic or fighting against sexism in academia, but the context of the picture is literally the opposite of the message.

[-] HauntedCupcake@lemmy.world 8 points 3 months ago

I also think making shit like this activity discredits the thing they're trying to draw attention to.

"Cats hate water, please view this example."

[-] JackbyDev@programming.dev -3 points 3 months ago

Wtf do you mean "canceing his epic bullseye"? That's not how it works.

[-] tetris11@lemmy.ml 35 points 3 months ago

Yet it is. His wins were negated by her losses, they're on the same team.

[-] Reyali@lemm.ee 36 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

I saw the guy get attention because he doesn’t use a bunch of fancy gear. Looks like the woman doesn’t either, yet this is the first time I learned meme man was even on a team.

She has bigger ear protection and it looks like she’s pulled it in a way that shields her eyes from the light. Still not all the high tech fancy gear they were competing against. So leaving her out of every post made about him not using a ton of gear definitely sounds like what this meme is saying.

[-] Neon@lemmy.world 11 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

He shot better than her, that's why

The meme is that he shot just as well or even better than the others with gear.

She didn't.

[-] Venator@lemmy.nz 9 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

She has a more gear than the dude: a visor ... 😅

[-] shadowwwind@beehaw.org 6 points 2 months ago

The only reason he dosnt, is because is already wearing glasses...

[-] Reyali@lemm.ee 3 points 2 months ago

Maybe it’s just the low quality image, but that looked to me like the part of the ear protection that goes over the head (is there a name for that? It’s not a strap, but that’s the closest I could think of), like it was just pulled down over her forehead instead of sitting on top of her head. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
