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.

Granted. Celsius now range from 0 to 50

wdym range from 0 to 50?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago (2 children)

0 is the freezing point of water 50 is the boiling point.

If it's 30°c outside, it will be only be 15 after the wish, thus fit what the character said
