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.

2+5(8-5)

For anyone wanting to see a different way of solving it with distribution:

2+58-55 2+40-25 42-25 17

So long as you follow the basic math rules, you can solve it in many different ways to get the same result.

Worth a reminder that *'s get converted to italics. At first I saw the 2+58-55 and was very concerned for your education.

use backslashes pefore asterisks so that the markdown parser won't think you inted to write in italics
