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.

8 5/8" x 5 3/8" x 1 5/8"

Don't write yourself off yet, learn metric.

moving from Europe to America the amount of times I'm like "it's 12 3/8ths" to try to, yknow, join in, and everyone's like "call it 12 or 13"

motherfucker that's a huge gap!

For most of the rest of the world, that's about 219 mm × 137 mm × 41,3 mm

For those of us that don’t use arbitrary made up units at all, that’s 1.35515609E+34 Planck Length x 8.477460474E+33 Planck Length x 2.555613997E+33 Plank Length.

Use real measurements. A meter is how far light travels in 1/299,792,458 of a second? Statements made by the utterly deranged.

Finally a truly universally usable measurement for everyday use
