Science fiction rooted in the current understanding of science in general. “Hard Scifi” doesn’t include concepts that break our understanding of physics such as FTL travel, or synthetic gravity.

Hard science fiction is a category of science fiction characterized by an emphasis on scientific or technical detail, or scientific accuracy, or both. Typically, this is in the form of very grounded fiction without supernatural, magical, or usually aliens with an emphasis on realistic storytelling within our current knowledge of physics.
Andy Weir's the Martian and Adrian Tchaicovsky's Children of Time are great hard science fiction novels.

A person who tries way too hard to make a joke, but ends up making an ass of themselves. On occasions, they'll bring up memes from 2009 and call them relevant.
