Any time someone uses the terms “alpha”, “beta”, or “sigma” unironically when referring to a person, I immediately write them off as a braindead waste of oxygen.
I’m not even religious, and I’m praying tiktok finally gets banned.
Definitely a hacked/fake account lol
On an unrelated note, nothing screams dominance more than someone who gets their lifeprotips from a guy who needs to abuse women to get them to listen to him, and got arrested by the police. Sure seems the police are the alphas in this case lol.
And in the US, E Jean Carrol seems to have shown "President" Trump who is really in charge too
Props to the judge who reminded the jury in the defamation case that it was already established fact that Trump had raped E Jean Carrol as were the findings from a previous case, and to disregard Trump's attorneys who claimed otherwise.
Feel the same way but why did you mention religious in particular? Do they have something against tiktok or something? I hate it for a bunch of reasons but I don't see anything that could be particularly religious.
Probably the "praying" part
Probably because they used the word ”praying” which is quite directly connected to religions.
If you have to tell people you're an alpha, you're not.
There are no human alphas. Without each other we're all weak ass bitches. Just look at the series "Alone". Even the most rugged outdoorsmen absolutely get fucked hard when they are alone.
We're a social species. Our strength is our cooperation. Anyone who thinks he's above the rest kicking ass all alone is just a moron.
There's no wolf alphas in nature neither. It's an old and debunked theory based on studying captive wolves.
https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/is-the-alpha-wolf-idea-a-myth/
To be absolutely clear to anyone who hasn't read about this; it was debunked by the same guy who came up with it in the first place!
The dude studied wolves in captivity, drew conclusions about their behaviour, then applied those studies to wolves in the wild and discovered that he'd got it all wrong. The behaviours that he observed in captive wolves were all stress responses.
Because he’s a good scientist. He followed the evidence, ran a different experiment to test his findings, and followed the evidence again.
Absolutely. He had the courage to question his own assumptions when they were challenged by new evidence. Everyone could stand to learn from him.
So, what I'm hearing is that there are human alpha males... but only in prisons. That checks out.
No no you've got it backwards. Those are just stress responses. Human alphas do exist but you have to put them in the wild with a hungry pack of wolves.
I found this too be quite interesting:
To me, this makes all the "I'm an alpha, like a wolf" bumble even funnier. Nah, you're just a cat person with poop on the brain.
Not joining the whole alpha thing but where does alpha get described as lone?
Meme Alphas are purported to be top dog but they still run with a pack
True. Though I’ll add, none of these people actually are leaders in their friend group or community. They think that being an aggressive ahole makes them a leader when real leadership tends to be about gently convincing people that they want to do what you want done or that they should do it anyways
Alpha software: broken and incomplete software
Alpha radiation: very little penetration power
i once ended a date by telling her alpha doesn't make sense in humans and she wasn't "alphaing" the conversation by talking more than me...
she abruptly beta-ed the fuck out of there.
Missed opportunity for her to delta outta there instead
I tried that once but my flight got delayed twice so I flew frontier instead.
Perfect opportunity to howl as she walks away from the table. AR-AR-AROOOOO!!!!
Every time I see people call themselves an alpha I immediately think they’re a/b/o role playing on main. Mind you that kink also involves misunderstanding wolves, but kink is rarely based on reality
It's alpha as in alpha-stage software. Unfit for production.
wtf is a TL
Pretty sure that's time line
Thank you! I legitimately had no idea what that could stand for.

Tnx :)
Just asked ChatGPT what the social structure of a Wolf pack is and it trotted out all the alpha, beta crap, because that’s now what most people believe.
Actually it turns out its a myth that there are alpha wolves at all. Makes this even better. https://www.sciencenorway.no/ulv/wolf-packs-dont-actually-have-alpha-males-and-alpha-females-the-idea-is-based-on-a-misunderstanding/1850514
I think that's exactly what the meme is about
The only thing I know about wolf socialization is from a documentary I saw where 2 wolves were fucking and the girl wolf's dad came back with the rest of her pack and caught them and when the boy wolf tried to run away he dragged her down like 3/4 of the giant hill they were on by his dick before it popped out. It was one of the funniest things I've ever seen in my life.
Isn't this the plot of one of those twilight movies

sigma balls
I think Sigma is more often used to describe misogyny than anything positive, so I'm definitely not that either.
I'm pretty sure it's supposed to be a mockery of misogyny (or the more general toxic masculity). The Sigma male term was supposedly describing a social outcast who doesn't play the social game but still somehow wins the social game, and thus gets respect and women. Obviously the internet ran with it because it hits the sweetspot of stupidity where it becomes funny
Of course some people actually believe it and use it unironically, but it's mostly about mocking the supposed Greek lettered male classification. Then again memes change in time and maybe it is returning to its original toxic meaning.
A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.
