If you are here asking: "Is this a science meme?"
Probably, yes. We use the Dawkins definition of meme: a replicating idea, not just an image macro with a fact on it. A good post here doesn't need to teach you something. It needs to make you ask something: who, what, where, when, and especially why or how.
Science isn't a filing cabinet of facts, it's a conversation. For example, a photo of an eel or other localized wildlife counts because most people never see one, and wonder is the first step of inquiry. A car meme counts if it makes you curious about what's under the bonnet. If you want to talk about something you noticed in the world, chances are someone else wants to talk about it too.
We moderate for vibe, not category. Pruning is light, especially where a post creates interesting discussion. Experimenting is encouraged.
See the pinned paper on Shitposting as Public Pedagogy if you want the academic case for why this works.

in The Last Jedi, Leia gets blasted into hard space and experiences weightlessness.
And then it really gets accurate.
Because it looked silly. That is all.
Because they can believe space wizards but the idea of a twin sister of one of the most powerful space wizards in the canon being able to also learn space wizard shit over the course of several intervening decades breaks their incel brains.
Same reason why Holdo caught shit for not telling Poe anything while my Navy friends were all relieved to find out she wasn't the kind of ship commander who would actually fucking execute you and dump your body in the drink for the level of blatant insubordination that idiot was pulling just in front of her face nevermind scheming behind her back with Finn and Rey to undermine her plans, and also to accuse her of being the traitor and arranging a kangaroo court mutinee basically acting as a thin veneer for him to shoot her in the face under color of "law" for having the gall to actually treat him like the insubordinate demoted twit he was.
Her forve manipulation skills were basically never mentioned before that point. People had more than enough of characters pulling force skill out of nowhere by that point.
It’s the surviving the vacuum without her eyes bugging out that people don’t like.
Because she's a girl and girls can't be wizards.
Wasn't there a space fight with horses on the wing of a star destroyer in the rise of Skywalker?
Lol yes but that was within a planetary gravity well
Don't make excuses for the sequels.
Yes, I'm pretty sure either a hobbyist equestrian or a full on equestrian's parent was on the sequel trilogy's rollover staff, for two separate sequences to feature space horses coming to the rescue.
Also, low-key bummed that we didn't get Finding Your Roots with Lando Calrissian and totally not just gender flipped Finn but aged slightly and in charge of a bunch of other horse girl deserter storm troopers.
They specifically noted they were talking about the old movies. Or didn't you get that far before you needed to "correct" them?
I seem to recall one instance that may portray the lack of gravity. When Darth Vader gets shot and goes spinning off. That's about it.
Good catch, I think you're right
he was just doing that because it's a neat trick
It's so wizard!
You're right, it's been too long since I've watched it
