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.

Would be or do you want her to be? Sound like aunt Nancy isn't very nice.

The popularity of casinos and lotteries say otherwise.

Someone who goes to casinos would come to the same conclusion, thinking that the surgeon is 'running hot'.

Anyone with a good high school education should understand this.
