Melissa Church, the woman behind 'Bad Science Jokes' has been running it for about a decade now and it has definitely changed her life.
"It may seem crazy, but I think about BSJ a lot," she told Bored Panda. "Most of my free time somehow revolves around it as well. I have to actually tell myself 'No 'Bad Science Jokes' for a bit.''"
"I have spent a third of my life working on it."

Melissa said she has already annoyed most of her friends with the, "Hey can you help me with a joke/post?"
"My family write to me things that [they] relate to it. It's a nonstop production," she added. "On the plus side, I have learned a ton. I completely believe that humor can help you remember something, and I am proof of that. "
There might be a lot of truth to that. A Pew Research poll revealed that viewers of humorous news shows such as The Daily Show and The Colbert Report exhibited higher retention of facts than those who got them from newspapers, CNN, Fox News, or network stations.
Neuroscience research suggests that humor systematically activates the brain's dopamine reward system, and cognitive studies show that dopamine is important for both goal-oriented motivation and long-term memory, while educational research indicates that correctly-used humor can be an effective intervention to improve retention in students from kindergarten through college.

'Bad Science Jokes' boasts the biggest following on Instagram, where it has 600,000 fans. To reach all of these people, Melissa employs pretty much everything the platform has to offer.
"To be honest, I think the best performing feature is the Carousel (multiple pictures in one post)," she said. "I have to divvy up the types of content to remain appealing to followers and to better appear on newsfeeds and explore tabs."
"Instagram will hate me, but I don't think reels do all that well on the platform," she added. "At least not with my audience. Of course, there are a handful who prefer it, and for certain types of content, reels work far better. Instagram's typical users are just not as into the short-form video content."

And get yourself a Masters along the way, then every time you learn a new skill (like hammering a nail in the wall) you can say "I mastered that pretty quick". Of course you could stay a confirmed bachelor all your life too.
We also asked Melissa what other accounts would she recommend for people who like 'Bad Science Jokes' and she said that her top suggestions are @punhubonline, @neil.degrasse (a Niel Degrasse fan site), @sketchingscience, and @nickuhas.

I was going to say that it's mouths are it's feet, and it flails it's reproductive organs in the breeze, but then I realised that's what most plants do. I am not good at plants.

But to be respectful you attempt to speak it anyway so you are TRYLingual

I've replaced a lot of my English words (native language) with the German words I'm learning and now I have to translate the German words to speak English. I don't think this is how it's supposed to work when you learn a new language.

I've been learning Vietnamese and the process has really ruined my English sentence structure and typing speed.

CompSci folks have it worse. Try thinking in APL and COBOL on alternate days. Oy.

It's true though. I speak English, Italian and Spanish. English is fine as I use it every day. Spanish and Italian not so much. It takes me a good 30 minutes before I can switch to thinking in the other language. Subsequently, my wife tells me that my English goes into the toilet for another hour or so. Either that or I answer her questions in whatever language I was speaking with a completely straight face.

If you can only read a language but can't hold a conversation in it, you're Eyelingual.

I'm reminded of that time in Futurama when they go to the nude beach planet. Fry: "How much more nude can you get?" Zoidberg: "Watch and learn." Zip "Wabba de wub wub wub".

I have a recurring dream every year or two that I learn to fly like Arthur Dent, by throwing yourself at the ground and missing. You then sustain your disbelief in order to remain airborne. I'm always so sad when I wake up. I've had that dream at least 10 times and am impatiently waiting for the next time.
