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.

I have blocked the .xyz and .ru TLD's (because they're riddled with malware) so every image in this community is blank and the link is dead.

perhaps you should unblock specific domains in that case

but i’d also suggest a blocker that uses auto-updated lists rather than whole gTLDs; they’re likely to catch more and deny fewer false positives

NextDNS doesn't allow me to do that. Really for such an aggressive filter I should probably configure it to be at the browser level rather than the DNS level.
