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.
  2. Keep it rooted (on topic).
  3. No spam.
  4. Infographics welcome, get schooled.

This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.

We're hella cute. But pareidolia is seriously gonna be the end of us when the AI takes over ๐Ÿ˜‚

Even ascribing consciousness into others or ourselves is actually pretty stupid if you think about it.

Stemming from religion there's this idea that human "souls" are somehow special and exist on a plane outside reality. But that's not the case.

We are just semi-rigid blobs of mostly water that grew into weird shapes.
