If you are here asking: "Is this a science meme?"

Probably, yes. We use the Dawkins definition of meme: a replicating idea, not just an image macro with a fact on it. A good post here doesn't need to teach you something. It needs to make you ask something: who, what, where, when, and especially why or how.

Science isn't a filing cabinet of facts, it's a conversation. For example, a photo of an eel or other localized wildlife counts because most people never see one, and wonder is the first step of inquiry. A car meme counts if it makes you curious about what's under the bonnet. If you want to talk about something you noticed in the world, chances are someone else wants to talk about it too.

We moderate for vibe, not category. Pruning is light, especially where a post creates interesting discussion. Experimenting is encouraged.

See the pinned paper on Shitposting as Public Pedagogy if you want the academic case for why this works.

I think taking the heart out is the part that kills them, unless perhaps you reverse origami it while it's still attached

This heart could be easily entangled. So I don't understand this thread's OP nor this Meme.

And I am too afraid to ask.

I don't think most people see heart as something you can uncurl.

As for the crab it's a meme older than some users here

In case anyone is like me and only knows this from years ago, the creator filmcow is still around and has been making tons of great content all these years (check out vulo lives). I think he's even crowdfunding a new ending to the llamas with hats series at the moment which I'm pretty psyched for.
