Well, I'd say it's self-selecting given the topics and nature of the site. There's a massive supermajority of engineers of all stripes.

And it's not 'exclusive'. It's not like getting an account here is hard. But staying requires understanding of the topics discussed at length. So it's a self-selecting exclusivity at best.

Rick and Morty? That's the terrible flash animation that ended up getting a full animation? It was puerile when it started. I assume it's no better. (I have better things to do with my time.)

To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Rick and Morty. The humour is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of theoretical physics most of the jokes will go over a typical viewer's head. There's also Rick's nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his characterisation- his personal philosophy draws heavily from Narodnaya Volya literature, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these jokes, to realise that they're not just funny- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike Rick & Morty truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the humour in Rick's existential catchphrase "Wubba Lubba Dub Dub," which itself is a cryptic reference to Turgenev's Russian epic Fathers and Sons. I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Dan Harmon's genius wit unfolds itself on their television screens. What fools.. how I pity them.

And yes, by the way, i DO have a Rick & Morty tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It's for the ladies' eyes only- and even then they have to demonstrate that they're within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand. Nothin personnel, kid.

Give this is a "copypasta" from reddit, maintains that I'm indeed right. This vomit of a show is akin to "Married with Children", "Family Guy", Jerry Springer, and other shows that cater to low-brow alcoholic idiotic "funny" shows..

Assuming this is a parody account, I love the concept
