gotta show it

 Today, in My Dumb Sense Of Humor, this is something that made me laugh really hard.


Backstory: we are trying to develop some VR labs that people could do virtually. Presumably, the idea is if the pandemic doesn't end/gets worse/there is another one people could kinda sorta do labs this way (really the plan was: do these over Christmas break for spring semester, but funding came too late). This is a sample slide showing an example of the kind of "pop up" question that could be included, but the person doing it apparently didn't know that much about soil to mock anything up



I think it also makes me laugh because (a) I am connoisseur of what is commonly known as "s**tposts" on places like twitter (nonsensical dadaist posts designed to make people laugh) and (b) my intro soils prof in undergrad would threaten to take five points off the grade of anyone who called it "dirt." (I don't know that he ever did, he seemed like too nice of a guy. But I was very careful)


but this made me laugh. I don't think they intended it to, but it did
