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.

Humans today are like 300% more biomass than every mammal on earth 100,000 years ago.

This might come as a shock to you but there used to be 30 million people about six thousand years ago. Two thousand years ago we had 200 million. One thousand years ago we had 300 million. In 1750 we had 750 million people.

Now we have 8 billion people.

Did you perhaps mean to make a dinosaur joke but left out three zeroes?
