Question: What?
Apparently people are more likely to yield their seats if there is a superhero on the metro.
I’m glad batman got to sit down on the train
Idk why but this made me laugh out loud
He’s gotta be tired after spending all night running around not-killing-just-initiating-medical-bankruptcy-ing people.
I would 100% give up my seat to an obviously pregnant lady but that lady pictured could just be very fond of Doritos and the depth of shame and horror of being wrong would live with me forever so I’m not sure if I’d just sit in painful indecision the whole journey.
The study was cool though.
Link or title?
I just pretend I need to get off at the next stop and make sure to get up when they’re looking so they can grab my seat. Then just walk to the other end of the cart, or to the door and look at the map only to then “realise” that this is not my stop after all and remain happily standing.
WTF!!!??
I came here for the memes, but I stay to learn.

gotta love 8 co-authors, and a total gobbledigook ‘main findings’ paragraph that could have just said something like 25 out of 70 vs 45 out of 68 or whatever. No, the reader must want the fourth (“significant”) figure of the percentages and a chi-sq test stat for an almost pointless regression.
TBF i think they only had 8 co authors because they gave credit to all the bat-men and womb-women.
But i really wish they’d addressed what happened to batman on the other two experiments - probably someone made a joke or a clown got on and batman attacked them.
This could just be an ordinary Tuesday evening on the E train in NYC.
Yeah, I don’t get it.
We need someone dressed as Batman on every street corner to make people behave. Got it.
For ethical reasons
What, I’m supposed to give up my seat in case the tubby chick isn’t just a big fan of canolis?
When you need to write a thesis for that juicy title but science is hard:
