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.

In fairness, the deer population is way out of control, so I'm just doing my part to reduce it.
Best way to help cull the deer population is to get your hunting license and fill your quota! Plus all fees (at least in my state) from hunting/fishing related things fund conservation efforts!
Fair enough, but if the fawn is just there for the taking anyway...
Firstly, lol
2ndly — You become a disney princess?
Keeping it as a pet is not quite the fate I had in mind for it...
You sick fuck, beastiality isn't welcome 'round here (≖︵≖)
~sorry to break the vibe and say the joke out loud, but wanted to thank you for the laughs~
I... Don't think that was the joke...
Uh... That wasn't quite what I had in mind for it either...
I hope we reintroduce and help repopulate predators.
The main reason deer populations are out of control is we’ve killed pretty much everything that eats deer…
Releasing wolves does tend to solve most issues in life.
Inside you there are two wolves. You fucking idiot, why did you let the wolves rip you and take your insides.
COUGAR CUBS? LEAVE EM!
FAWNS? KIDNAP THEM, RAISE THEM AS YOUR OWN
MAKE THEM LEARN CALCULUS
They learn Calculus:
"The (deer population) limit doesn't exist!"
Turns out, they don't fully understand Calculus
That's actually not the case. There's just not enough land for their predators.
