I don’t understand, how can the turtle do this? Is it because the elephants are dancing? Won’t they fall off??!

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.

That's just globalist propaganda. We all know the Sun is the one that moves because it's hanging from the ceiling!
(And just because I couldn't make something so stupid that made it clear, \s - but hey, it was hard to make even this.)
I was just joking also, the only reason I did not put the sarcasm tag was I had an iOS keyboard. Still not sure where that button is, someone said it’s next to the “any” key.
Oh, your joke was obvious enough.
I think nobody believes on a giant turtle nowadays... I mean, it's hard to be certain, but I think a group like that would be famous.
Yes ! Indeed
The turtle moves!
This is what happens, when global warming lights the turtle on fire.
Your friend the Turtle... He died a few years ago. The old idiot puked inside his shell and choked to death on a galaxy or two. Very sad, don't you think? But also quite bizarre.
I'm so old, I remember that this happened before. It will go over, don't worry. I'm not affected because I live in Europe but I remember that the Americans recovered quite quickly from this.
Wait what's this? Europeans are supposed to always say derogatory things about Americans. ;)
not quite, Americans are Europeans as well... Just ancient.

It's because we have Clark Kent. He spun it around real quick for us.
Happens literally everyday. Wth are the devs doing?
They're lucky my ritual sacrifice works to make it rise again I'll tell you that
DID I HEAR A BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD?
SKULLS FOR THE SKULL THRONE!
It happened at night, though, so no one noticed.
And I still have to go to work tomorrow. SMH
Not again!
They can't keep getting away with it!
Ah, I see it's that time of the day again
Hello darkness, my old friend.
Here I thought the onion was satire....
Lord protect us all from the darkness within the darkness. Thoughts and prayers! 🙏
Thots and nyas? Hell yeah!
Hold me.
Big spoon, or little?
Yes.
The terminator has passed over North America, illuminating the entire continent in the eerie light of a thermonuclear explosion. People report suffering radiation burns from unshielded exposure.
This is just a metaphor for Trump's election.
Thank God South America will be ok at least!
Fuck and I thought it was just the new administration.......
Ha ha onion go funny
The sun truly is setting in the west.
This is what sarcasm had become. I mean i expulsés some air through my lips so I'm rolling on the floor laughing rn.
But I long for the times where the undertone for sarcasm was 'no way that could happen' instead of 'it literally happens every day'.
