How soon before someone is citing this article as evidence? 😩
The earth is only 6001 years old [1]!
😩
Referencing this parody as if it’s a serious study should be ground the rejection or retraction.
I wonder if journals and reviewers have tools to help detect fake and/or retracted study in references. Some already screen for the phrase “vegetative electron microscopy”.
You got me. This one is too good.
The first tell was the author using the first person, and the next tell was the piano falling.
I only read the abstract. So I missed the piano falling part entirely.
There are pokédex entry # for fossils!
That is exactly what clued me in.
“I first went about the humane capture of the wildlife of C-100. A few peacocks were caught with bear traps, an iguana was captured via a falling piano, and a peacock bass was shot in the face with a shotgun, all in line with the standards set by the Florida Constitution [3].”
You missed the pokedex entries too!

Truly gold.
Edit: Didn’t realize this was Immaterial Science - my favorite is the FUPLC-NMR-CE6-GC-IR-ICP-MS-MS-MS-MS (pdf warning)
The inclusion of Pokédex Entry numbers is great.
Also, I like the sources cited for the paper. One of them is “Pigeon-Elephant Theory: the real origin of humans – Journal of Astrological Big Data Ecology by B McGraw”Is there money in writing crap “research” papers like this?
I would be fine doing this under a pseudonym. But I know UFO researchers really have to hustle a ton. So maybe not?
People also do this to take the piss out of a junk journal. Usually ones that let anything through
Ooooohhhh… That’s a thing? Let me guess, I have to pay to publish my ChatGPT-authored “research” proving that cats are actually aliens?
So this is obviously satire but reading this it just sounded way too close to current reality for comfort.
I know that parts of the document are acme levels over the top but other parts sincerely read as if written by your average Maga idiot
Poe’s Law.
Take that creationists, 6001 proves God couldn’t have done it
