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.

On the porcupine the babies quills, kinda like horse hooves, are soft at first and begin to harden afterwards but aren't super spiky for a few days. But yeah a split psuedo banana and an egg that is almost literally the same size as you aren't picnics
