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.

Bruh, you're an American repeating Putin's bullshit about Ukraine being run by Nazis.

Americans have no excuse for being so ill informed, so either LMAO at the "using critical thinking", or you're a dumb fucking Russia bot.

I don't care about the spin military Industrial complex puts on this. I do not care what happens to ukraine, zelensky should have never started this war. It's his fault and his alone . Clearly dude had no diplomatic or political experience.

It was fun and games harass Russia while it lasted, well guess what it's not some ghetto street he grew up on. It's real life - and he miscalculated.

Oh so you're the type that sees Hitler invading Poland and thinks "doesn't effect me".

Go volunteer for Putin's army if you love his propaganda so much.

Jesus fucking Christ, the fucking idiocy of thinking that Russia unilaterally invading a country is that country's fault. Thankfully Biden is finally getting lead out of the water a might solve some of this dumbassery in the long term.

My Russia vs Israel take:

Russia gives Ukrainians Russian citizenship and resettles them away from warzone with all the social security preserved: food, medical, shelter etc.

Israel just wants to murder all Palestinians: no medical, bombs hospitals, doesn't let food in, kills people indiscriminately

How can some people even see these conflicts as the same category? Israel is doing straight up hateful genocide, Russia is fighting for people they see their own.

~~Russia gives Ukrainians Russian citizenship and resettles them away from warzone with all the social security preserved: food, medical, shelter etc.~~ Russia murders some Ukrainians and kidnaps others and forces them to toil under their dictatorship to enrich Putin.

Ftfy.

Jesus fucking Christ do fucking better. What is wrong with you?
