i talked to some students at my school who study engineering a few times and like all they do is make shitty robots that tip over bottles and shit? where's the practical use for this after school i just dont understand

If Rick&Morty and/or its fans are any basis for forming an opinion about the population as a whole, what most people think that "Scientists" do is actually shit that Engineers do. Seriously, Rick's not a fucking scientist, how many times have you seen him testing a hypothesis or collecting data or proving/disproving a theory?! All he does is build shit. Engineer. Case closed.
He discovered all the principles necessary to turn a human into a pickle, most scientific shit I've ever seen
But seriously he's a mad scientist, mad scientists don't really follow the established procedures
Mad scientists are just scifi wizards
Turning a human into a pickle is the highest form of a Lakatos research program I'll have you know.
I like to think of people who do research for speed runners are more like scientists. Also the people who make video essays for YouTube are a lot like scientists. Take this vid for example. We have the context, we have the background on why it's important. We have a method (talking to people and asking for connections) and we ultimately get a conclusion. The rest of science is just letters to the editor arguing about "well, what if he's wrong?" I've seen many figures in scientific articles that are just confirming that a hypothesis is sound in different cell lines.
