Evidence-Based Puritanism

A purity culture within communities that elevate "evidence-based" as the supreme standard of legitimacy, where proper relationship to evidence becomes a test of virtue and belonging. Evidence-based puritanism demands that true members base all claims on approved kinds of evidence (usually quantitative, experimental, published in high-impact journals), treat other forms of knowledge as illegitimate, and maintain the purity of evidentiary standards against contamination by alternative ways of knowing. Members compete to demonstrate their evidentiary rigor, their commitment to "what the evidence shows," their willingness to dismiss anything that doesn't meet their standards. The result is a community that claims to value evidence while being dogmatically closed to the full range of human knowledge, treating "evidence-based" as a club rather than a commitment.
Example: "She cited decades of community experience, and they dismissed it as 'anecdotal'—Evidence-Based Puritanism, where only their kind of evidence counts, and anyone who doesn't have it is simply ignored."

Nigerian Baseball

When the pitcher in a baseball game splits open their ball, shitting inside of it, leading to it exploding in shit upon impact of a baseball bat. For extra effect the pitcher can bring it back to the dugout, jizz all over it, then let it crust.

Stubby based

The state of being piss drunk off stubby-sized beers (typically 375ml bottles) for an extended, often reckless, period of time. Usually involves poor decisions, limited memory retention, and a deep commitment to the Aussie art of day drinking.
He asked his missus to be stubby based with him — she laid him off immediately, so he went on a three-day bender.

Time-Based Simulation

Refers to the Time-Based Simulation hypothesis. This hypothesis suggests instead of a big bang portions of the universe were sucked into an ultimate black hole so quickly that "time" was left separate from space-time.

This all encompassing "time" without space created a simulation of matter aka space. This allows for multiple dimensions, Quantum Tethering, and Time dilation due to time simulating previous space without an existing space to do so. This also restricts time within the Time-Based Simulation from creating a simulation within the simulation.
