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.

Thing is everyone has one of those.

Every celestial body fits into a specific classification too.

Yeah but no one just has a kingdom or phylum.

Every living creature gets an entry from domain to species.

Celestial bodies aren't a hierarchy, a planet isn't also a dwarf planet or an asteroid.
