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.

My teachers used to say the same about Wikipedia.

I did edit heavily, this is 3 outputs combined including a fact check this using Wikipedia

It does not fail on such basic questions, “fact check this:” in a new instance works more reliably then asking a human.

I think the hate is a bit unwarranted, but be wary that it does sometimes fail anything

and they're correct about not using wikipedia as a source, you use wikipedia as a summary and then verify the information in the ACTUAL sources it cites
