Most Pointless Scientific Studies.

My honorable mention is this one published yesterday. They studied how best to call your pet cat.  At Paris Nanterre University’s Laboratory of Compared Ethology and Cognition, led by Charlotte de Mouzon. Their findings were it's good to use visual and audio cues to help the cat know it's being paged: DUH!

Lossless Scaling for all my sims. What a godsend...

Mobile rig: ASUS Zenbook UM425QA (AMD Ryzen 7 5800H APU @3.2 GHz and boost disabled, 1 TB M.2 SSD, 16 GB RAM, Windows 11 Pro). Running FS9 there .

VKB Gladiator NXT Premium Left + GNX THQ as primary controllers. Xbox Series X|S wireless controller as standby/mobile.

The kicker is that we're all likely paying for these studies via govt. grants.

OK let's sort all this out :

1/ As a rule, I never ever believe guys with a beard and a shaven skull and big white teeth on You Tube. I am prejudiced against them. When the wrapping is flashy, the inside is generally no good.

2/ As a French I am obviously proud and happy to see my taxes fund Ms de Mouzon and her colleagues. Or not. I don't know.  

3/ Maybe not, all things considered BUT it could be worse. They could study like, whether there are more than two genders in cats. Or transgender cats. You know what I mean ...

4/ I have no idea where they found the 'pff pff' which is certainly not how we call our cats. They have names, you know.

I particularly liked the Journal of Irreproducible Results. Impractical for me. Cats never come when I call.
