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.

Thanks! I think it would be a great rule of thumb for lemmy to always include sauce and especially the sidefacts about the data that relativize it. (See other replies)

Less shiny maybe, but more real :)

Haha, I do quick dumps. Maybe when I have more time, but in the meantime you guys usually pull through digging around, and you usually find some extra cool stuff too. :)

So basically you're doing the "don't ask, just say something on the Internet to issue a challenge" method of learning stuff?

Sometimes its a fine line between infographs and memes. Sometimes it isn't

Sometimes, sometimes I am curious to know more too, sometimes I know things are right, sometimes I know they are wrong but it makes for good conversation... I pick from the meme firehose (feeds) ones I know will make for interesting threads. It is a vibe. It does not take me long to get the memes, so it is a fun passive thing. I do this for fun too. :) It is also why I insist that we use "meme" in the Dawkins sense (see sidebar).

So the map is more accurately titled "How American Twitter users refer..."

"White american male twitter users", according to the last paragraph

I could have not clicked that video. But I did. And I regret it.
