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.

I didn't understand anything and now I'm horny. Did I do a science?

[–] SoleInvictus@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 2 hours ago

Horny is biology, which is chemistry, which is physics. You triple scienced.

is this how they teach electricity on Pornhub/rule34.xxx?

Same artist draws about computer science too btw.

Lisanne_waifu drew TCP as an organized anime girl drinking water normally while UDP as another anime girl waterfalling it very fast at the cost or spilling a bit on her clothes.

I learned so much from this graphic

Hey, how did you know?

[–] titanicx@lemmy.zip 33 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I still don't understand this. But I'm not upset about that fact.

The hydraulic analogy is better (accuracy-wise)

[–] SoleInvictus@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 2 hours ago

I absolutely love the the hydraulic analogy, and my advancing age and the 'tism compels me to share a story.

I was a science major and worked as a tutor through college. Intermediate physics was required for all science degrees, so basic electrical theory consistently came up.

What I love about the analogy is it's actually not perfectly analogous, but the differences become obvious once the initial concepts are understood, then those differences help students figure it all out. Its imperfection is actually what makes it perfect, and my nerdy side just loves that kind of stuff.

The students that argued with me the most about how it was a shit analogy were my favorite because they'd so frequently knock it out of the park come exam time. It was like the academic equivalent of hate fucking.

Dear artists stop creating things that make me want to furiously masturbate

Is this a gas leak year meme? ew

Help me step-volt, I’m stuck!

[–] saltnotsugar@lemmy.world 46 points 1 day ago

What are you doing volt-san!?

[–] dan69@lemmy.world 17 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Damn I’d gotten a A+ or F+ if I was Electrical Engineering courses. Sex not only sells but also educates at a decent amount of topics.

I learned trig from a pornstar sitting on a stool with nothing but flash cards and socks on. Yes her clothes were flash cards yes it was a game, yes I was horny enough to ace my trig exams. No I don’t remember the name of the game, I’m sorry.

[–] cheesorist@lemmy.world 6 points 19 hours ago

try to remember the sauce for your trig comrades

Now I want to see them explaining the fractional hall effect

[–] Quibblekrust@thelemmy.club 8 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

SpoilerI have no idea how much of this information is slop. I think it's funny that ChatGPT made a decent attempt at this.

You can downvote if you want, meatbags, but I think it's funny.

Also, it wouldn't let me make them scantily clad.

[–] vivalapivo@lemmy.today 5 points 20 hours ago

I mean it's not the explanation - I would've expected girls to resemble Laughlin's wavefunction - but still it's cool! It got the Wikipedia page right

[–] neidu3@sh.itjust.works 21 points 1 day ago

I'm sure a lot of semiconductors can be explained via "Help, step bro, I am stuck!"

It's a reference to this image that has been shared in so many different schools around the world:

Current (measured in amperes, or amp) is the flow of charge. emf (volts) is the energy supplied to a circuit per coulomb of charge (coulombs being the unit of charge. Current is coulombs per second). Resistance (measured with ohms) restricts the flow of charge (conductors have low resistivity, insulators are high. Resistance increases with length and decreases with crosd-sectional area)

Ohm's law is V = IR (or, with current isolated, I = V / R)

Oi! How did you manage to steal this fine artwork from Michael Faraday's secret lab books? They're kept under lock and key at the Royal ~~Society~~ Institution!!

Edit: correction.

*Royal Institution

Faraday's lab was at the RI.

Instructions unclear. Currently waiting in ER with a lightbulb up my ass and it's not lighting up!
