Science Memes
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
- Don't throw mud. Behave like an intellectual and remember the human.
- Keep it rooted (on topic).
- No spam.
- Infographics welcome, get schooled.
This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.

So, you can actually use cows as a compass to a point.
Cows pretty consistently tend to align themselves on a north-south axis when resting. I don't believe anyone has ever figured out why.
Fucking cows, how do they work?
Mooooooo
They do know why, its that cows have some directional sense based in electromagnetism like an actual compass. Cows that are near high voltage power lines dont align the same way as cows normally do. Their sense gets messed up by the strength of the electrical fields that surround high voltage lines
They probably can see them, just like birds
Compasses point north, not to any nearest magnet. If compasses pointed to any nearest magnet, they wouldn't work as intended.
Is this a ken m bit
Can't tell anymore
Anymore should learn to listen a little better
Have you ever magnetically levitated a cow? If not, then however magnetic they are, it's less magnetic than frogs.
Were gonna need a bigger magnet
They create LIVESTOCK-FREE URBAN ZONING because they hate FREE ENERGY. It is the duty of FREETHINKERS to RESIST.
Mag-cow disease.
One guy tips over a cow just to get a few amps from his homemade solenoid, and suddenly laws against it are written. Cow tipping is a time honored tradition. Vote YES on proposition 69
Only in murica , cows dont need magnets .
RFK Jr and Kid Rock will be launching a "Drink Your Whole Magnets" campaign this week.
FYI: Lemmy's markdown formatting supports footnotes. It's pretty handy.

I have one of these magnets on the side of my work truck. Didn't know I was driving a cow
Imagine instead of eating steak and burgers, you just start eating a bunch of metal and they would call it "meat"

Cows aren't... real...?
