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.

You just have to ignore the existence of electron flow. Conventional current flow is all that matters, and the only people who use electron flow are those who design integrated circuits and lunatics

And ignore magnetic fields completely?

You forgot science enthusiasts who are desperately trying to impress people.

They get lumped in with the lunatics

[–] RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world 25 points 16 hours ago

We don't want 'em.

You mean the writers fpr "IFL Science"?

Yeah, we don't want them. They're idiots

Stupid meme sharing fuckers.

You mean to tell me that there are people out there whose job it is to design lunatics?

That's fucking awesome. Like a real-life comic book author.

It's also useful to think of the "ground" plane as a sort of well of potential charger carriers that the conventional current model overlooks. Aside from simultaneously visualising what's happening inside simple ICs like BJTs / MOSFETs and the circuit diagrams I've found it a useful way for checking for common mode noise in circuit and PCB design.

I guess this makes me a lunatic? Don't know until we test it;

Someone give me an ~~asylum~~ makerspace to takeover!

I...think I understand ground loops (audio) now.
