Welcome to c/science_memes @ Mander.xyz!

A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.

Rules

  1. Don't throw mud. Behave like an intellectual and remember the human.
  2. Keep it rooted (on topic).
  3. No spam.
  4. Infographics welcome, get schooled.

This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.

Might be obsolete after a bit though. A QR code only points to a URL and that might change (unlikely, but after 20 years...)

A QR code can also just contain plain text. It's just usually used for URLs.

Plain text can also encode plain text. Why are we complicating this?

because a qr code containing the ~15k characters of the paper would be a full back piece of tiny dots. Probably unreadable anyways.
