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.

Security theater. Supposedly there's a clear liquid explosive that someone tried to get through once. Of course, it's bullshit, like everything else the TSA says.

Also shoes, because shoe bomb. As Burress says... they better not make a snickers bomb.
