Joule Misanthropy

The avoidance of using the Joule as a unit of energy. Sometimes used equivocally, especially in the United States, in describing a strong preference for the use of the calorie. Specifically, Joule Misanthropy refers to those who castigate or otherwise judge humans who do express energy as joules. Joule Misanthropists are known as being particularly intransigent in their anti-joule stance.

This inclination and its relatively widespread popularity are thought to have been originated by those who opposed the popularity of James Prescott Joule. This movement probably began after Joule famously spurned William Thomson (later Lord Kelvin); the two had planned an experiment together, which Joule then neglected in favor of marriage and a honeymoon. Although essentially left standing at the flask, Lord Kelvin understood and offered his congratulations to the happy couple. However, Kelvin supporters were enraged and began an anti-Joule campaign. This caught hold particularly in the Americas, probably due the residual anti-English sentiment of the time.

Formally, Joule Misanthropy is defined as the the use of a unit of energy other than the joule in a context in which the use of said unit would generally be considered illogical or not practical. For example, expressing the energy required by a human to lift a small object in electronvolts would constitute Joule Misanthropy.

"Hey, I heard Patty was accepted to that prestigious US institution!"

"Yes, but he has decided not to attend due to the widespread Joule Misanthropy there."

"That's a shame. I can't believe people can still be so small minded in the 21st century."

misanthropy 

The natural allergic reaction had by an intelligent, thinking person when confronted by a world of tribalized, reactionary proto-humans. A condition characterized by a need for solitude, and skepticism about the nobility of one's fellows. Hatred and mistrust of man (and woman) kind. The state of being misanthropic.

My misanthropy is founded on the evidence: most people, most of the time, are pin-headed bottom feeders...I want nothing to do them.

Possibly the most rational, reasonable attitude when dealing with your fellow human.

Of course I embrace misanthropy, you stupid jerkwad -- we're a fucking plague across the fucking planet.

If you are a somewhat intelligent and rational person, you will eventually come to the realization that humanity is fucked up and they all deserve to be wiped from the face of the Earth for their stupidity.

This is called Misanthropy. I will be waiting for you when you join.

Misanthropy 

Misanthropy - The realisation that humans only care about themselves, creatures with ego's, ones that destroy everything around them just for their own satisfaction. A race that has no idea what the word respect stands for. A breed of creature that rapes and murders it's own kind for their own enjoyment. Every race on earth lives for survival, humans live greedy pointless lives, forgetting what love truly means. Sex, violence, power, that is all they're good for any longer.

misanthropy Direct quote taken from the popular movie Hellboy 2 by the character Prince Nuada "The humans... the humans have forgotten the gods, destroyed the earth, and for what? Parking lots? Shopping malls? Greed had burned a hole in their hearts that will never be filled! They will never have enough! "
