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 all time favorite "Stig Fact" from Top Gear is

"They say that he knows only two things about ducks..and both of them are wrong"

Which would arguably qualify as knowing less than nothing about ducks 😁

Whenever I see this quote (or others like it) I hear it read in Bill's voice from Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure.

Bill : Socrates [SOH -crates]- ' the only true wisdom is knowing that you know nothing.

Ted: Dude, that's us!
