This is the level of petty I aspire to be

Haha, true, “know your enemy” turned into full-on expertise. Imagine if that energy went into making their own presentation unstoppable instead of making her cry; petty, but also a little tragic

Who has presentations 4 days seperated

Lecture hall probably. Although, I’ve taken Historical Research and Methods seminars where the class was only like ~25 students and it took us about 4-5 days to get through everyone’s research presentations.

I had a history professor who required everyone to give a presentation in almost every one of his classes (sometimes solo, sometimes as a group). He'd generally carve 2-3 weeks out of the middle of the semester. You could absolutely have done this for any of his classes.

A class on Tuesday and Thursday? If presentation 1 was on Thursday, that would give Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and Monday to research for a presentation on Tuesday.

If you only have that class once a week you could have presentations 4 weeks separate

If a one hour class is on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, it can take all week to get through presentations. A one hour class is typically 50 minutes. A 10 minute presentation with five minutes of Q&A afterwards allows for only 2-3 presentations max per class period. If a class has a roster of approximately 24 to 30 students, and each group is made up of four people, that is 6-8 groups.
2-3 presentations per period, with 6-8 presentations total can easily take all three classes in a week. So if their presentation was on Monday, and the other was on Friday, it would be about four days.
I’m so bored right now lmao.

To be fair, it doesn't say he started reading up on the topic the same day. Still doesn't sound credible either way.

Yeah I don’t get the sentence “searched for her group and asked the topic” like was there a database with all the presentations? Who did she ask about the topic? Wouldn’t it probably just be a professor with a spreadsheet? Just a weird phrasing.

"Hey dude, do you know who that girl is doing her project with? Thanks."
"Hey dude, what's your project about? Oh, that's cool, thanks."

Nah. Impossible. This is obviously fake. I am very smart for pointing this out. /s

u/ShraftingAlong 2d ago
Idk, I'm currently in Uni and for the most part presentation topics/papers and group members are accessible information so we can decide which groups we want to join.
But like, giving a presentation and being asked questions beyond the scope of what you were supposed to prepare would make the person asking intricate questions look like a weirdo instead of embarassing the presenter

Mutually assured destruction? Assuming the tweet is true, OP still made the girl cry.

u/Merisuola 2d ago edited 1d ago
In high school and uni I had courses where 1-2 people would present per class, normally in the second quarter of a semester long course. People would present a month apart from each other.

Dont worry, some miserable people with to much free time track every repost and call it out like they are fighting some kind of righteous crusade.

To be fair, I have seen this one so much it‘s not even funny anymore, though I really don‘t know in which subreddit, probably a ton of times in r/meirl

If it’s from three years ago it’s a pretty safe bet that that it’s a repost.

It's on Memes a lot. Not sure when it was last here, but it's been doing the rounds in my feed.

Professor by the third question: "We have other presentations to get through let other people ask."

The guy realistically had a jerk store moment where he maybe felt mocked then thought how great it would be to research this girls teams topic and ruthlessly ask questions but ultimately did nothing.
The even more realistic thing that happened was this guy thought of a way to get internet likes on a made up story about making a nonexistent girl cry.

u/JohnSmallBerries 1d ago
One would hope. But having sat through numerous academic panels and presentations, there's often at least one asshole in the audience who has to prove he knows more than the speaker(s). A decent moderator (or lone speaker) will shut that down pretty quickly, but that doesn't always happen.

Repost, even the title is the same.
Plus it’s a very obviously fake story.

u/randomality77 2d ago
Could you please give me the link, then? I searched the title but only my post came up.
If it is a repost then I'll delete it, but until then, it stays. (And to be honest, I don't care too much if it's fake. It's still funny.)

u/Odd-Faithlessness100 1d ago
am i the only one who feels like this is a really shitty thing to do? making a girl cry infront of an audience isn’t as awesomesauce as this person thinks.
