If you are here asking: "Is this a science meme?"

Probably, yes. We use the Dawkins definition of meme: a replicating idea, not just an image macro with a fact on it. A good post here doesn't need to teach you something. It needs to make you ask something: who, what, where, when, and especially why or how.

Science isn't a filing cabinet of facts, it's a conversation. For example, a photo of an eel or other localized wildlife counts because most people never see one, and wonder is the first step of inquiry. A car meme counts if it makes you curious about what's under the bonnet. If you want to talk about something you noticed in the world, chances are someone else wants to talk about it too.

We moderate for vibe, not category. Pruning is light, especially where a post creates interesting discussion. Experimenting is encouraged.

See the pinned paper on Shitposting as Public Pedagogy if you want the academic case for why this works.

That greasy fuck... Everything he touches turns to shit. How is he still alive?

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 26 points 1 month ago

He shook hands with Death and Death turned to shit.

[–] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 13 points 1 month ago

He's held together by nothing but malice.

Evil never dies, unfortunately.

He'll die evnetually. Hopefully it's slow and painful.

[–] Rothe@piefed.social 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Sure, but he is doing all this for the corporation oligarch overlords. They are the ones benefiting from all this (Trump takes his cut of course), and they will want to keep benefiting after he dies.

I'm hoping it's more Stalin/Gaddafi-esque

RFK Jr: (standing by, salivating as he retrieves his fun size field dressing kit from his sock garter)

[–] NottaLottaOcelot@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

But is there any reason to expect things will suddenly get better when he does? His allies will fight each other for the throne when he dies and the most unscrupulous will win it

[–] Senseless@feddit.org 1 points 1 month ago

Nah, you're fucked. It will take decades to get to the point the US was in before he got president.

[–] Astrealix@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago (5 children)

I mean, more than normal amounts of people have tried to kill him

[–] stretch2m@infosec.pub 5 points 1 month ago

Depending on who you believe.

[–] ZkhqrD5o@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Understandable reaction.

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 2 points 1 month ago

I think there's a list where they all try to organise schedules so that they don't interfere with each other's plans.

[–] Lemming6969@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

No purportedly related attack seemingly has been directed or credible. They all were terrible and not even remotely close, so it's either fake, unrelated, or a false flag.

[–] Astrealix@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I mean, the White House Correspondents' Dinner one was pretty credible imo.

[–] Lemming6969@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

He got feet inside just past the security gate and then fell down due to nothing. He got a visual on nobody in particular and named nobody in particular and there is no conclusive evidence he fired any bullets. He might as well have stayed home and played in his yard, not even close.

The ideal would be for him to choke on a hamburger. That'd be the most poetic.

[–] Coldcell@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 month ago

In public, on camera, after boasting he can eat burgers until he's 100.

The Maga nuts will still think it was a Democrat plot.

[–] ol_capt_joe@piefed.ee 1 points 1 month ago

I'm not picky 😊
