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.

“start of the century when we wrote it”

This meme wouldn’t exist had they done that. But they chose the zeroeth, not the first, of January for Excel.

Yep. "1" is 12:00am on 1-Jan-1900

Numbers less than zero just give a weird error. Between zero and less than one give a nonsense date-formatted non-date.
