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.

I have to separate my cats for feeding and one of them isn't fond of the process so she runs away from me. I simply follow her at a walking pace saying, "You cannot defeat the persistence predator," until she gives up. It never takes long.

My cats went offense instead of defense / escape for the period during which I had to do it.
