What does "100tifiko" mean?

Question

I keep seeing the phrase yo k se, no soy 100tifiko on Twitter, Facebook and Youtube comments. I understand what means yo que se, no soy ... It could be something like I don't know, I am not ..., but I can't figure out what 100tifiko means. I'd appreciate any help.

Thanks in advanance.

So write idiotic people, don't learn that Spanish: que should always be written like that and never, ever k. — c.p., Feb 09 '16 at 12:28
A mí me desagrada totalmente cuando las personas echan a perder el idioma de esa forma. Cuál es la diferencia en tiempo de tecleo de "100tifiko" con "científico"? incluso, la forma correcta me salió más rápido teclear :-) Por otro lado, la "k" solo se debe usar en contadas palabras según la RAE. Por qué deformar el idioma usando indiscriminadamente esa letra? La gente se acostumbra a escribir mal, y luego cuando es necesario dar buena impresión, por ejemplo, en algún anuncio o buscando trabajo, no se dan cuenta de que cometen errores. — jstuardo, Feb 09 '16 at 16:21
No one (at least in Spain) speak like this. It's just a kind of slang that is now frequently used in internet or as a joke... but it's not a proper way to speak — frisinacho, Feb 10 '16 at 19:21
They are just funny Spanish memes. I think these expressions are not used even as slang, just for memes to make fun — Karkoma, Jun 25 '16 at 16:27
Just spanish version of L33T 5p33ch. Pay it no mind. 100 is 'cien' in spanish, so it's cientifico, meaning scientist. — Vermia, Jul 28 '17 at 20:33
There is a Twitter user with that name, and one on YouTube, and a Facebook page ;-) — , Aug 17 '17 at 14:28

100 is cien

cien + tífiko should be slang for científico which is scientist

So something like I am not a scientist...

Its just a funny way of saying scientific (100=cien + tifico). Just like 1000itar means mil+ital = militar. 3.1416loto means pilot (pi+loto).

Remember to always answer a "Pa k kieres saber eso jaja saludos"

These terms are popularized through Instagram and Youtube mainly.

Ambas frases, "yo ke no soy un 100tifiko" y "Pa k kieres saber eso jaja saludos", surgieron de respuestas a una pregunta en "Yahoo Answers", página en donde alguien escribe cualquier tipo de pregunta y la gente contesta (similar a ésta pero de temática abierta).

Alguien lo subió a las redes sociales y se hizo "viral".

Por otro lado, nadie dice: "1000itar" o "3.1416loto", por lo menos no aquí en Argentina. "3.1416loto" hasta me costó entender a qué se refería.
