A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.

This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.
Wouldn’t Darwin have already known that the Greeks had calculated the circumference of the earth like 2000 years before him?
A slow enough rate of expansion would make 2000 years negligible. Same with plate tectonics.
And like it was Darwin, I can give him a pass on not knowing the time scale of speciation
Deep time is so annoying. Here I am walking around thinking that I am the main event. And really I will be dead for decades in 1 855,000th of the amount of time from us to the dinosaurs. What the hell universe!? There shouldn't be 855,000 human lifespans between us and a bunch of overgrown lizards-bird things.
