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.

It has to download any content it shows you, whether that's a web page, pdf, or anything else. It can't just magically know what to display without downloading it. Whether it stores it permanently is another question. Most browsers don't do this. If yours does there's probably a setting for that, or it's just a really bad browser.
