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.

  4. Infographics welcome, get schooled.

This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.

Unless you stand perfectly at the south pr perfectly at the north point of either pole, there will always be an east and a west.

Yes - but you can choose any point to stand on. So all arbitrary separations in to "East" and "West" are equally valid.
