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
- Don't throw mud. Behave like an intellectual and remember the human.
- Keep it rooted (on topic).
- No spam.
- Infographics welcome, get schooled.
This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.

Science because it's a rare biological condition, called sinistral (as opposed to dextral) chirality. You also learn a new "fun science fact": snails of opposite chirality cannot mate. (Only true for some species: for example, Amphidromus inversus has close to balanced dimorphic populations and can successfully mate both homo- and heterochirally, although hetero is more common).
Meme because it's a funny and relatable thing on the internet. Memes are no longer just image macros and memorable phrases.
Using this loose logic, literally anything can be related to science and be called a science meme
It has a 99% upvote ratio. Granted, not everyone votes based on community fit but still, the crowd decided it belongs
I don't believe crowds are inherently trustworthy or right. I can still question whether content belongs here or not, despite the crowd
I'm not preventing you from having or saying your opinion (not even really trying to change it) but this is how democracy works. If there's enough offended purists like you, go create c/truesciencememes
Sir this isn't a democracy, this is a moderated community
True but people's votes are the judicial branch that interprets the rules. They can also choose to make another community when the dictator makes bad executive or legislative decisions (see !196@lemmy.blahaj.zone vs !onehundredninetysix@lemmy.blahaj.zone). As I said, you're free to create a rival community and if your views prevail, it can get big (especially if !sciencememes@mander.xyz ever suffers a crisis like having to change instances).
Ein simpler Mann sieht Lauch und wählt hoch
Auch bei legendären Beiträgern wie @ZonenRanslite@feddit.org lese ich zuerst den Inhalt (bei ihm ist es auch wert, Acht zu geben)
Huhu mein lieblings Tscheche.
Ich hoffe, du wählst meine Beiträge nicht blind hoch! Denn bei mir "Chaotic Neutral" bedeutet, ich schwänke zwischen gut und böse.
Und danke, dass du mich zum 39c3 geleitet hast.
