Why is there such an overlap between marine biology and love of puns? Has anyone done a study yet?
I think there's an overlap in general between scientists and puns, I've seen posts like this from all fields
as an autistic person, i imagine that might have something to do with it 😂 i feel like a lot of scientists and researchers are on the spectrum at least a little bit.
Sea Me: People Looking at People Looking at Animals Underwater
When I saw studying marine bio I was told classes would thin out when "the people who just want to swim with dolphins wash out." Maybe there's a similar filter people ~~with no joy in life~~ who don't like puns.
Quick, survey the people who like swimming with dolphins and see if they disproportionately hate puns!
Fun fact: dolphins hate puns almost as much as they hate Alan Alda.
