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.

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

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

Cabbages are actually tree trunks

Raspberries are actually tubers

Wheat is actually a berry

And oranges are actually an eldritch, ante-dimensional horror perpetrated by intelligent, unseen beings

Also acorns are the progenitors of oranges.
