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.

Generally the difference is a paid service is better and worked on by the author. The work in these thesis 'services' is done by others, the research funded by our tax dollars, and the 'service' doesn't contribute much of anything to be paid beyond server storage.

Think about how many painters, authors, artists, etc. have only received notoriety after their death and absolutely have contributed to culture.
