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.

This 'article' reads like someone asked ChatGTP this exact question. In other words: it reads like shit. Please never share again.

I seached the answer online to better understand the meme, and that's one of the first results.

Sorry if that's AI generated. I didn't search for AI generated answer, and didn't ask ChatGPT, this is sadly what seach results looks like nowadays.

Will gladly edit the top comment if you can suggest a better article.

Not quite the the same scale, but a similar idea is explored by Randall Moore. He explores a lot of weird questions like this and regularly consults scientists.
