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.

They do have a mouth, but it's like our appendix. It doesn't do anything.

Ok. Still could use some crisper magic to give it some sustenance for a longer life

And then it takes over the world, Sam. Is that what you want to happen?

There are billions of uglier things we could be subjects to
