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.

  3. No spam.
  4. Infographics welcome, get schooled.

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

Is this true? Seriously curious.

Unfortunately it is very much true.

Edit: here's a more recent source.

This is not hot air though, so the cited source does not apply.

Edit: but it does link to more relevant study towards the end, comparing different means of hand drying.

You're right and I linked a fairly old study. I've edited my comment to add a more recent source.
