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.

  3. No spam.
  4. Infographics welcome, get schooled.

This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.

He's the first one to get me to understand the Twin Paradox's solution! Everywhere else was just like "because of the acceleration," which never made sense to me and is in fact NOT related to the solution! Hell, his videos are responsible for the only science meme I've made and posted here myself.
