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.

What are you, IEEE floating point? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEEE_754

Edit: actually read the negative zero article and saw IEEE floating point mentioned.... kinda kills the joke
