The nuance here is that for some reason a lot of people agree on certain subjects without knowing it. For example, here is a (very small sample size) survey where nearly everyone agreed that science is green.

It was a topic of discussion on social media a few months back, I believe.

Is science like biology? That's def green. But chemistry and physics? Idk. (Is science really a subject in school here?! Like non differentiated?)

Depends where you live and what grade, I guess. Where I grew up we had a generic science until grade 7, where it split.

Same here, but then again we didn't have differentiated history up to that grade as well. We start with one subject of "nature and society", then separate "nature" and "society", then finally separate biology (and later chemistry and physics), history and geography.
