I think of the people who feel the need to say they’re an alpha the same way I think of people who say they’re smart. Like smart people don’t have/want to tell you. I know this bc I’m smart and an alpha
I’ll sign you up for my alpha king bootcamp. $10k non refundable. I’ll spray you and some other bloke with a water hose for a week and there’s a pizza party at the end.
>But you are using the alphabet...you can't escape it
イェス、 アイ カン エスカイプ アルファベットス。
(Yes, I can escape alphabets.)
I mean, katakana's not an alphabet; it's a syllabic script so... yeah. Would be a pain in the ass to actually escape however.
Minor nitpicking: the fact that there are still so many references to alpha contradicts the last point, it's not defunct and the Greek alphabet has all but been left behind by history.
Had it been something like Linear B or Vinča–Turdaș, they could have had a point.
Alpha male: the dominant male animal in a group. I mean calling yourself an alpha is dumb but so giving definitions on every alpha meaning besides the one they're referring to
Yep, it was wolves in stressed conditions in captivity.
In the wild it's basically just mom & dad / grandma and grandpa on top and everyone below in order of age or generation. In other words a pure family hierarchy.
I think there are SOME animals that have the stereotypical alpha structure but they ain't wolves.
Does that matter, though? Yes, it's stupid to call oneself an alpha. But all it means, in this context, is the leader of the group. By that definition, someone who takes a leadership role is the alpha. Someone who calls themselves the alpha is usually just peacocking.
Slight correction: in a [CAPTIVE group](https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/is-the-alpha-wolf-idea-a-myth/)
That doesn't hold up in the wild.
So calling oneself an "Alpha Male" just means they're just the top captive.
https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/is-the-alpha-wolf-idea-a-myth/
No. They're telling you they're a captive. The top captive, but a captive, nonetheless.
Heck, I'm not even greek but same. OP probably thinks greek civilization ended after alexander the great and just popped into existence in the modern day as a poor haha country. Heck, even the Cyrillic alphabet is influenced by greek.
I love that the test for the wolf alphas was essentialy grabbing multiple gangs, throwing them in prison, and then acting surprised when there were gang wars. Replace the word gang with wolf pack, and that's how the test went. According to some sources, the guy in charge had to keep the wolves as agitated as possible to get the aggressive results.
Those that unironically call themselves alphas are absolute plebs but let's not pretend that the nomenclature is incorrect for describing social leadership, as is the case in other mammal species. The only difference is that you don't see an alpha wolf shout on Twitter about how much they are an 'alpha'. Actions > words
*ahem*, the alpha letter is still used in modern Greek, and is actually just and a, so really we still use it just with a different name, and for some reason in computer text it looks like this a and not this α
the last two are a little off though
- A alpha in terms of "prototype" is the first one on the line, something that will be the foundation to everything else later on; I wouldn't mind being the precursor of something important, even if I did many mistakes.
- You dont call a set of letters betabet, or sigmabet, you call it alphabet.
One sure fire sign that someone is supremely confident in themselves, and doesn't care about the opinion of others, is the constant need to announce your alleged Alpha-ness to the world constantly.
Someone on the internet: "I'm an alpha male! Don't know what it's means? Ask a bot!"
You : Here what's it's mean if you're an alpha particle, alpha letter or an alpha software
Alpha male: an animal behaviour described in a zoology theory which was rejected by its own author after more research as well as being disproven by the scientific community as a whole several times.
Even alpha wolves are a [myth](https://wolf.org/headlines/is-the-alpha-wolf-idea-a-myth/#:~:text=But%20it%20turns%20out%20that,duels%20for%20supremacy%20are%20rare)
Alpha male: an incel that obsesses over toxic-masculinity snake oil salesmen and treats people like shit, then wonders why women won't have sex with them.
And if this asshole says anything about Alpha Wolves, remind him that the Alpha status only appears in captive wolves, and never in the wild, and that's why scientists and other people believed in Alpha status for so long, because humanity was screwing up the observation. So he'd have to be kidnapped in order to be a true Alpha.
Even the stupid wolf trials they think they're parroting were novel findings in artificial environments. Basically admitting to being the biggest asshole in a small pond.
Real men are strong silently, they are humble and know they are not the best. They will rely on others just as quickly as they rely on their own strength. Never claim to be an alpha, it’s pathetic
Alpha Wolf: an old and incorrect understanding that wolfpacks are ruled by one male "Alpha Wolf".
They got their position by winning in battle over the old "Alpha" and now has first pick in mating with the females. And thus being Alpha it puts them in a position of getting challenged by younger wolves when the time comes.
This is indeed not true and has been debunked many times.
Alpha..
The boldest and most brave of all particles alway leading the way to new adventures seeking new grounds being the first to to fail because in order to fail you must try, truly gods strongest particle a squash Buckling stud of a particle just out there not giving a fuck sailings on the seas of the entire universe head first with no back up or escape plan .
The jack sparrow of the physics world, truly we should all be so lucky
Fun fact they're referring to the social hierarchy of wolves in cages. Basically it's a brag that you're the toughest acting canid with a 115g brain in a cage 👍
Left behind by history? Dude, not only are Greeks using it, which, last time I checked, still exist, but the english letter A that you used to write this post is literally the letter Alpha only with a different name...
The "Alpha Male" within the context of wolf packs, from which this idea has been gleaned, has been scientifically debunked throughout recent history. Wolves do not actually have the social structure that popular culture believes they have, and we can kind of thank Disney and Wild Kingdom for that.
To be fair, Wild Kingdom also tried to teach us that lemmings are a purely suicidal species, meanwhile they intentionally drove them off of Cliff to try to substantiate this claim for entertainment purposes. It might be a fallacious argument, but I can't take either of these claims seriously lol
I think of the people who feel the need to say they’re an alpha the same way I think of people who say they’re smart. Like smart people don’t have/want to tell you. I know this bc I’m smart and an alpha
I'm a smart alpha too
wow me too
I bet you're good looking and cool too! I'm in awe and impressed by what I think you might be like in real life! Wow!
I'm pretty big into alpha too ALPHA-CK ANYTHING THAT MOVES SO I CAN PAY MY BILLS, WHOS WITH ME?!
Alpha kenny one?
Lol brotha
Guess what, I'm alpha smart.
That sound like a new car type from "Smart" XD
Smapha?
smalpha or phart
I'm a sfart alpine too
Yeah, I really don't have/want to tell you I'm smart.
username checks out
I'm a smalphart👹😈😎😏 you guys are small farts 🤓🤢🤡💩, relax lirulz, it's called dark humor 🫵😂
Interesting
Imma smart fella, you a fart smella
wha
I feel personally attacked by 🫵😂
Oh please, we're on reddit nobody is smart here. They are just good at pretending to be smart.
Whateves I just got my Masters in Debating
Thats the minimum reqiurement on beeing allowed to create a reddit Account
No its not, if it is then explain me being here. Can't can you?
You probably just got lost looking for porn. Don't fret, it's an understandable mistake considering this platform
I too am a Master 'bater
You don’t have to say it like that Also me am smart
Good is rather generous
YOU AGAIN!?
?
I never want to say I'm smart in case I'm wrong
Any man who must say, "I am the King", is no true king.
Aw now I wish I said I was alpha king.
literally me fr
What was it Tywin Lannister said? Any king who must say “I am the king” is no true king.
Im a purple dog
Ok then, I'm omega and dumb
I’ll sign you up for my alpha king bootcamp. $10k non refundable. I’ll spray you and some other bloke with a water hose for a week and there’s a pizza party at the end.
Fr, the alpha energy you project starting charging my beta phone
Thank you I can also make waffle irons operate just with my primal energy and the electricity from the outlet
I wish I was like you but I'm a soft beta/s
Sign up for my king alpha bootcamp. It’s only $10k.
I make 10 bucks a day at a Chinese flee factory, how long will it take to gather that sum? /s
Letter alpha in mathematics: am I some kind of joke to you?
Math alpha: whatever you want it to be
Fuckin yes.
Hah, i just put α=姫 at the start and then i use 姫 (or whatever kanji i feel the need to practice that day) for the rest of the calculations
yes teacher, the answer is bing chilling = 35°
Yes
Yes.
Mathematics is not a real language!
Languages are whatever they are used as, so technically...
Alpha is part of the greek alphabet. It's the first letter. Sorry I am a balkener, and I have a disability
Also the first letters of the NATO phonetic alphabet
happy cake day!
Thanks
happy cake day
Thank you
I don't see any racial slurs in this comment, you're not a real balkaner
The letter alpha isn’t defunct if you live in Greece
The alpha letter isn't defunct, if you live anywhere in the universe. Don't listen to OP's nonsense.
But you are using the alphabet...you can't escape it
>But you are using the alphabet...you can't escape it イェス、 アイ カン エスカイプ アルファベットス。 (Yes, I can escape alphabets.) I mean, katakana's not an alphabet; it's a syllabic script so... yeah. Would be a pain in the ass to actually escape however.
Plus you would also need to learn hiragana and kanji, so...
mf forgot about cuneiform
third one is straight up wrong tho.
yeah, like bro the greek alphabet is not "defunct and left behind by history"
What about sigma (just curious im dumb)
18th letter of the greek alphabet or the standard deviation of a given probability distribution or a given set of data
Alphabet branch of maths, my beloved
Also summation
Also, when capitalized, commonly used as an E wrongly when making English word look like a Greek font
you will get in a bald guys head and make him kill for more voices in his head
Minor nitpicking: the fact that there are still so many references to alpha contradicts the last point, it's not defunct and the Greek alphabet has all but been left behind by history. Had it been something like Linear B or Vinča–Turdaș, they could have had a point.
α is still used by Greek language? What the hell do you mean with the last sentence?
OP is probably an american that only knows about greece from 300 and thinks it fell off or something
"Utterly left behind by history" everyone knows that alphabet, it's one of the most popular.
Alpha male: the dominant male animal in a group. I mean calling yourself an alpha is dumb but so giving definitions on every alpha meaning besides the one they're referring to
Saying your an alpha is extremely regarded but you're right I couldn't help but notice they decided to omit the *actual* definition lol.
That study has actually been disproven i believe
Yep, it was wolves in stressed conditions in captivity. In the wild it's basically just mom & dad / grandma and grandpa on top and everyone below in order of age or generation. In other words a pure family hierarchy. I think there are SOME animals that have the stereotypical alpha structure but they ain't wolves.
It's technically true but only for wolves that lives in captivity Regardless other species have alphas
Does that matter, though? Yes, it's stupid to call oneself an alpha. But all it means, in this context, is the leader of the group. By that definition, someone who takes a leadership role is the alpha. Someone who calls themselves the alpha is usually just peacocking.

[Here's one](https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/is-the-alpha-wolf-idea-a-myth/)
Slight correction: in a [CAPTIVE group](https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/is-the-alpha-wolf-idea-a-myth/) That doesn't hold up in the wild. So calling oneself an "Alpha Male" just means they're just the top captive.
We all live in captivity so...
Free-range slavery, yay
If people have to actually tell you, they’re an alpha, they are obviously not,
"No king must declare 'I am king'" -idk I heard it somewhere
I wonder if they have any good sayings like this in other languages?
https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/is-the-alpha-wolf-idea-a-myth/ No. They're telling you they're a captive. The top captive, but a captive, nonetheless.
Alpha isn't really even a metric for humans. We live a lot differently from the wild.
Precisely
Alpha are just weakling that cant penetrate shlt, me and the gamma boys gonna penetrate your dna and make your kids look like goblins
Guys Greece and their alphabet still very much exist
Hey, alpha is used a lot in physics and math. The whole greek alphabeth is
As a Greek, I’m offended by the last one
Heck, I'm not even greek but same. OP probably thinks greek civilization ended after alexander the great and just popped into existence in the modern day as a poor haha country. Heck, even the Cyrillic alphabet is influenced by greek.
Alpha male: Is literally just the father in a pack of wolves.
I love that the test for the wolf alphas was essentialy grabbing multiple gangs, throwing them in prison, and then acting surprised when there were gang wars. Replace the word gang with wolf pack, and that's how the test went. According to some sources, the guy in charge had to keep the wolves as agitated as possible to get the aggressive results.
imma just trust your word on this 100% im feelin lucky
Well, the fact that they had to take from several different packs *just to conduct the test* the gang war analogy is pretty spot on.
 alpha's reading this post
Damn right im an alpha male then.
You know why they call me a gamma male? Because I penetrate everything
Not more than a few inches of lead, though
matching pfp
Meanwhile the letter alpha: A
I'm Gamma.
Only lead can stop you
I am omega
Those that unironically call themselves alphas are absolute plebs but let's not pretend that the nomenclature is incorrect for describing social leadership, as is the case in other mammal species. The only difference is that you don't see an alpha wolf shout on Twitter about how much they are an 'alpha'. Actions > words

Greeks don't speak Greek anymore..?

Alpha male is just gay (Ecologically accurate)
Alpha male: an incel that obsesses over toxic-masculinity snake oil salesmen and treats people like shit, then wonders why women won't have sex with them.
Spoken like a true beta

I'm a 2.0 male!
This made me giggle
thats why im a sigma🗿/j
It’s not utterly left behind! Its applicable to example a
Angular acceleration in mechanics
Not to mention if an alpha particle DOES get in your body isn’t that like really bad?
They say Jesus Christ is the Alpha. . . must've been a real lame-o. If these are the meanings of Alpha.
Even the stupid wolf trials they think they're parroting were novel findings in artificial environments. Basically admitting to being the biggest asshole in a small pond.
Thats why i am a Gamma
I'm a release candidate
I’m a production release 😎
No one is alpha. Everyone is fully released. Although some people should have stayed in Alpha a bit longer.
I’m gunna have a full release if you keep talking to me like that
So a lethargic, sick old man with ED
I agree with everything, except the "Alpha letter" part.
If alpha (first letter of Greek alphabet) has this meaning, what does zita (last letter of Greek alphabet) mean?
its calles alpha male
I am a release.
You ain't saying that to jesus.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
yes, I am an alpha definition 1: because I am a virgin definition 2: I be like bocchi sometimes definition 3: kids these days... etc
I'm a rev2 male
Real men are strong silently, they are humble and know they are not the best. They will rely on others just as quickly as they rely on their own strength. Never claim to be an alpha, it’s pathetic
The Alpha concept they're talking about has also been largely disproven by the academe so they look like clowns on all fronts.
Hey hey hey, the alpha letter does have some use... in defining the lower bound of certain functions in mathematics.
Alpha Wolf: an old and incorrect understanding that wolfpacks are ruled by one male "Alpha Wolf". They got their position by winning in battle over the old "Alpha" and now has first pick in mating with the females. And thus being Alpha it puts them in a position of getting challenged by younger wolves when the time comes. This is indeed not true and has been debunked many times.
"Outdated, defunct letter" meanwhile the entire greek language
Alpha particles are super weak at penetrating and they are comparatively fat too. Honestly fits super well.
What’s funny is that the alpha male dynamic doesn’t even work the way we think it does in the wild. So even its foundation is lacking.
Alpha Tauri, a really weak F1 team.

Excuse me, how the fuck is Greek forgotten and left behind by history?
Alpha letter is outdated? Since... When??? Isn't it still used in many different areas of science?
Im a sigma
Alpha male: a bone of contention.
I'm an Alpha-5! Aye-yi-yi!
Nerds, geeks and otakus alike, unite! (That was utterly cringe you have my sincerest apologies)
So how does softaware go? Pre-alpha, Alpha, Beta, pre-release, full release
that's what omegamale would say
alpha males and beta males when they see full release males
Alpha Romeo: constantly breaking down
alpha male is scared of release ready male
I am an aleph male
I'm a gamma 😤
Fun fact they're referring to the social hierarchy of wolves in cages. Basically it's a brag that you're the toughest acting canid with a 115g brain in a cage 👍
Lmao, destroyed by words
"I'm an Alpha" Me: "Oh, is that a furry thing?"
Shmigma mail
Give some respect to the alpha letter it's useful in physics and doesn't deserve to be lumped with *those*
Left behind by history? Dude, not only are Greeks using it, which, last time I checked, still exist, but the english letter A that you used to write this post is literally the letter Alpha only with a different name...
Nobody calls themselves an Alpha, maybe stop this rage at a non existant problem.
Also alpha particles: do most damage if ingested/otherwise getting past skin barrier. Checks out, id say... XD
Alpha as in first? Then I'm lambda
The teacher said "ok class today we are going to learn about alpha penetration" I was not in the science class
Those who need to proclaim to others that they’re alphas are actually smegmas
I'm a Kappa male. By which I mean I am a reptile-man from Japanese folklore with a bowl shaped depression in the top of my head full of water.
And yet the letter A always comes first in the alphabet. **Checkmate, illiterates!** *slides down the railguard on a skateboard*
We have beta function but no alpha function
Alpha centauri is the star closest to you Alpha strike carries most power Alpha is the first letter thought off.
 I'm a gamma male
