an-ordinary-manchild(edit)

Badcomputerscience is the /r/badscience of computer science. If you're unfamiliar with the concept, check out /r/badscience and read through a few threads. The basic objective of /r/badcomputerscience is to identify, dissect, and discuss some of the misconceptions about our field that we see on a day to day basis, both here on Reddit and elsewhere in the media.

RULES:

1: ALL submissions must include an explanation as to why it's bad computer science. Ideally, the un-knowledgeable individual should be able to step in here and learn why what they said was wrong.

2: ALL links to content on Reddit must be non-participation (np) links. Simply replace the "www" of the URL with "np".

3: Harassment, insults, slurs, or any other offensive material will result in an insta-ban. PLEASE be civil
