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.

I used a scientific approach in the science memes community.

The issue is that your application of "the scientific approach" is to dismiss the entire field of research up to now, and demand that OP prove their point from first principles. It's not a reasonable response to what they posted.

What we're seeing here is an example of how it's possible to be both right and very wrong at the same time.

You don’t seem to care about actual science.

...and the second issue is that you're now attacking the integrity of the people calling you out on it, for no clear benefit other than to put them down. Go back and read Rule #1.
