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.

A meme is a self replicating idea. I think this is a meme.

There are memes, and then there are memes. Two different words. What you're describing is not the commonly thought of word when someone goes on the internet looking for memes.

I could say, "Suck my dick, motherfucker", and that'd be a meme.
