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.

squawk
I truly do not understand why people hate seagulls so much. 
I live in a seaside tourist town and have had to fight them for food in my hands. Those cheeky fuckers will swoop you like raptors.
Even cuter now
Seagulls play by rules that are broadly well understood, and clear.
Now... geese ....those motherfuckers have no honor.
I don't hate them, but fear and respect them.
Because like pigeons they're flying rats
What's wrong with rats? They are just trying to get by.
Even cuter, rats are adorable and so are pigeons
I like pigeons and seagulls. and rats are cute.
One reason is because they poke your knee.
Stop it now!
159 million views! Wow...
They used to be a real big thing, in the before times
Oh fuck yeah, it's my tern now, bitches.
This is like 75% of my first dates these days. TIL I date seagulls.
I grew up on the beach and hated them as a kid, and this also explains why I hate so many of my first dates too.
Have you tried asking humans out on a date? Might have better luck. At the very least, human beaks are softer than seagull beaks.
I assume they are humans until they start squawking and demanding truffle fries. I fucking hate truffle fries.
Im a seagull
Good gull.
I have apparently dated ... at least 3 seagulls.
Bloody beach pigeons...
"No mom, my girlfriend is real. She only went to get some pizza from the tourists at the beach."
Beach rats.
Parking lot scavengers where I'm from
Tfw you date a professional streamer, former professional TF2 and overwatch player.
Sorry, can't really relate but it sounds like a great time hahaha.
The guy goes by the name a_seagull
Edit added a photo
LOL that helps. Thanks for replying! :D
That sounds exactly like my girl
