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.

Lol this heightmap is so exaggerated

Lol wildly exaggerated. Largest height difference on Earth's surface is 13 miles (including underwater) vs. the 8,000 mile diameter. To quote NDGT, "The Earth is smoother than a cue ball"
