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.

Find a USB stick in the parking lot? Don't plug it into your PC and probably destroy it with fire.

Find a USB stick while digging in the park? Plug that baby in, jam to some Back to Black, and watch some vintage porn.

I chuckled. You could also plug it into a system win only a Linux live dvd, no storage, no speakers.

Safer from malware, but not safe from usb “pranks.” I doubt anyone is leaving a port killer out, but getting your port gunked up, or partly disassembled via locks is a thing.

Disposability is worth considering as well
