The system of ideas behind dog engagement theory suggests that there is a net positive benefit from interacting with others as if they were dogs. From playful banter to teasing and trolling, the behaviors that bring about joy in dogs will also bring about joy in fellow humans - especially romantic partners. This stems from the belief that most take life too seriously and do not wish to risk awkward moments in pursuit of genuine and fun interactions. Those who subscribe to dog engagement theory are viewed as comedic and charismatic socializers in any setting and can turn any gathering into an enjoyable hangout.
Amanda: “You guys should invite Matt to the party! He’s such a funny guy.”
Steve: “Yea sure, but am I not funny too?”
Amanda: “Kind of. But Matt is just so charismatic and playful. I think he follows dog engagement theory so that’s why he’s better.”
Steve: “I don’t think I can compete with him then.”
Amanda: “You’re right Steve. I think we should both see other men.”

Get the Dog Engagement Theorymug. The round pastry theory is commonly found in the RC airplane community. The theory states that consuming any sort of round pastry prior to a flight test will gauruntee a shit show. ESC’s are prone to exploding when round pastry’s have been consumed.
The theory dates back to 2014

Other friend: “DUDE WHAT ARE YOU DOING? The Round Pastry theory says you eating that donut just garunteed our RC MIG will crash.”

Get the round pastry theorymug. A theory that some fact or information is being hidden from the general public—a conspiracy—for whatever reason. These views are generally not held by most people or media (which is often part of the point—if something *is* being hidden, most people wouldn’t know).
Possibly the most well-known and widespread conspiracy theory is that planet Earth is actually flat, not spherical, and that this fact is covered up, keeping people in the dark.
A conspiracy theory may be true, false, or only partially true. “Conspiracy theory” is often used as a pejorative, usually an attempt to discredit ideas that are disagreed with; however, although theories like the Earth being flat can be patently disproven, many are still controversial.
In the United States, many conspiracy theories are attributed to the federal government. For example:
• some people purport that the attacks on September 11, 2001 (9/11) were perpetrated by the government as an excuse to increase citizen surveillance, or justify invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan.
• the demonstrations at the United States Capitol on January 6, 2021 were allegedly helped along by the government in an effort to discredit Donald Trump and his supporters.
• the existence of aliens and UFOs is supposedly hidden by the government, and equipment and specimens from said aliens is being stored in the top-secret Air Force facility Area 51.

“The CIA psychologically tortured human subjects to develop drugs that could psychomanipulate people during interrogations!”
“Oh yeah, that did happen, actually.”
“Sorry, what?”
“MKUltra. The CIA experimented on humans to make drugs.”
“…oh. Huh. Like, I was just trying to make up a weird conspiracy theory for Urban Dictionary, but… wow. I think my day is ruined now.”

Get the conspiracy theorymug. The theory that women are like cats, in the way that when you go to pet a cat, it doesn't want anything to do with you, but when you give a cat no attention, it comes and cuddles with you. The same goes for a woman and the amount of attention you give them.

Get the Lil bro theorymug. The theory that time does not exist, popularized by British scientist Julian Barbour. It states that our minds have created time to keep everything from happening all at once, meaning everything that has ever happened and everyone who has ever been born all happened at the same time.
The Illusional Time Theory states that since time does not exist, people and things like Jesus, dinosaurs, Hitler, Led Zeppelin, the U.S. moon landing and the sinking of the Titanic all happened at the same time.

Get the Illusional Time Theorymug. An acid/base definition that suggests an Brønsted–Lowry acid is any molecule that can donate a proton, and a Brønsted–Lowry base is any molecule that accepts the proton. Protons can be referred to as H+ or "hydrogen ions," so if you see those terms used in a textbook they all mean the same thing. When a Brønsted–Lowry acid gives its proton away, it is "deprotonated" and can now accept a proton; now that it has become an acceptor, it is referred to as a conjugate base. The same rule applies to Brønsted–Lowry bases: once they gain a proton (are protonated), they are known as conjugate acids.
student: i'm a little confused with this functional group. the reading says that the carboxylic acid (COOH) group loses its proton, H, making the formula COO−. now that there's a space on the oxygen that's vacant, could the group accept a proton in the empty space? wouldn't that make the group a base?
teacher: yeah, acids turn into things known as conjugate bases when they lose hydrogen ions. the space where a proton used to be is now available for bonding, and the group or molecule becomes a proton acceptor/Brønsted–Lowry base
that's how you use the Bronsted-Lowry/Brønsted–Lowry Acid-Base Theory
