I thought "I bet Lex Luthor just has a bachelors in business." That motherfucker has more degrees than Dolph Lungren!

[–] Kowowow@lemmy.ca 10 points 1 week ago

Makes sense he is supposed to be decently smart and has a ton of money to go to school for anything he wants taught by almost anyone he wants

TIL ...Dolph Lundgren is known for his high intelligence, with a reported IQ of 160. He is highly educated, holding a Master's degree in Chemical Engineering from the University of Sydney and a Bachelor's degree from the KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Sweden.

Look him up, Dolph Lundgren.

Action movie star from i think the 80s/90s? Think blonde rambo, that sort of thing

I think he did that song “I don’t wanna work, I just wanna bang on the drums all day”

[–] Magnum@infosec.pub 1 points 1 week ago

Does having a masters degree account for super high intelligence these days?

I have a feeling that she's having trouble with her thesis if this is how she feels, which is justified.

[–] damnthefilibuster@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago

All those guys wanted to do was get their damned papers published!

Yep, a PhD will definitely make you evil; but it's worth that alignment hit. You just ride it out and work your way back to chaotic neutral by becoming a professor.

Professors typically also have doctorates, though. Besides, professor is a title in most western countries. What it's not is a degree.

[–] qevlarr@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Yes, that's what I meant. Professor is quite something else than doctor

[–] Photonic@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

But professors are very often doctors, because they often have extensive research lines. And it helps a lot to have a PhD to get funding and it opens up jobs and other opportunities in scientific research.

Idk, Dr. Pepper seems cool.

You think so, but wait for Master Salt to stop her.

[–] SPRUNTnsfw@fedinsfw.app 5 points 1 week ago

Dr. Robotnik

Dr. Evil does specifically say he graduated from evil medical school.

[–] Hedup@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

Thet's what getting phd does to you.

[–] scops@reddthat.com 3 points 1 week ago

Victor Frankenstein dropped out during his undergrad. He was not a doctor. He was a scientist.

The worst of them all, Dr. Pepper

Edit: I gotta add that I love the flavor of Dr. Pepper, I just can't drink it because it's american :(
