    Stupid
Click For Summary
The discussion revolves around a new member feeling overwhelmed and "dumb" after joining a forum filled with knowledgeable individuals, particularly engineers and scientists. This sentiment is shared by others who also recall feeling out of place when they first joined. The conversation lightens with humorous exchanges about fish preferences, which serve as a quirky initiation ritual within the forum. Members emphasize that feeling inadequate is a common experience when learning complex subjects like physics and calculus, and they encourage the newcomer to focus on relevant topics rather than trying to keep up with everything. The overall tone is supportive, with members welcoming the new user and reassuring them that they are not alone in their feelings of insecurity.

Keeping in mind that the last time someone stated their preference as the Megalodon he had to be slapped with salmon because of unavailability (which had unfortunately been cooked and hence made a mess) I have decided due to technical difficulties not to slap you with the Megalodon and instead I will smash you with it :devil:...

When I first entered this forum and started looking around , I felt stupid.

Now I'm much less stupid in great part because I looked around on this forum.
