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
- Don't throw mud. Behave like an intellectual and remember the human.
- Keep it rooted (on topic).
- No spam.
- Infographics welcome, get schooled.
This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.

Hey, how did you know?
Dear artists stop creating things that make me want to furiously masturbate
Half of artists I talked to started drawing, because they wanted to draw porn tailor-made for their tastes.
Is this a gas leak year meme? ew
Same artist draws about computer science too btw.
I like UDP
I learned so much from this graphic
Help me step-volt, I’m stuck!
This is good, but it would have been nice if the symbols were more consistent. Like Volt gets a lightning bolt on her thigh... Cool. Ohm, while the sexiest in my opinion, gets an Ω on her shirt. So the under boob is great, but it's really that smile. Finally, Amp. What going on here? Those ruddy cheeks are awesome. The rope is pretty cool too even if it's not my thing. But where's her symbol? I don't particularly want to imagine a scarlet letter A.
Honestly, the inconsistency was a bit turn off.
Well... If you made it this far and think I'm missing the point, I hope you now realize I'm just taking the piss.
Electrical watersports are not safe
The safety is dependent on ohms law, so the infographic is still useful
What are you doing volt-san!?
I still don't understand this. But I'm not upset about that fact.
The hydraulic analogy is better (accuracy-wise)
I absolutely love the the hydraulic analogy, and my advancing age and the 'tism compels me to share a story.
I was a science major and worked as a tutor through college. Intermediate physics was required for all science degrees, so basic electrical theory consistently came up.
What I love about the analogy is it's actually not perfectly analogous, but the differences become obvious once the initial concepts are understood, then those differences help students figure it all out. Its imperfection is actually what makes it perfect, and my nerdy side just loves that kind of stuff.
The students that argued with me the most about how it was a shit analogy were my favorite because they'd so frequently knock it out of the park come exam time. It was like the academic equivalent of hate fucking.

I didn't understand anything and now I'm horny. Did I do a science?
Horny is biology, which is chemistry, which is physics. You triple scienced.
i am more confused
It's a reference to this image that has been shared in so many different schools around the world:
Current (measured in amperes, or amp) is the flow of charge. emf (volts) is the energy supplied to a circuit per coulomb of charge (coulombs being the unit of charge. Current is coulombs per second). Resistance (measured with ohms) restricts the flow of charge (conductors have low resistivity, insulators are high. Resistance increases with length and decreases with crosd-sectional area)
Ohm's law is V = IR (or, with current isolated, I = V / R)
How so?
I'm sure a lot of semiconductors can be explained via "Help, step bro, I am stuck!"
Damn I’d gotten a A+ or F+ if I was Electrical Engineering courses. Sex not only sells but also educates at a decent amount of topics.
I learned trig from a pornstar sitting on a stool with nothing but flash cards and socks on. Yes her clothes were flash cards yes it was a game, yes I was horny enough to ace my trig exams. No I don’t remember the name of the game, I’m sorry.
try to remember the sauce for your trig comrades

Oi! How did you manage to steal this fine artwork from Michael Faraday's secret lab books? They're kept under lock and key at the Royal ~~Society~~ Institution!!
Edit: correction.
*Royal Institution
Faraday's lab was at the RI.
This image looks very different from the last time I saw it
After all this time, i finally understand
is this how they teach electricity on Pornhub/rule34.xxx?
That is more confusing for me.
I'll stick to the river analogy
I still don't understand, but now I'm a lot more interested in learning.
It helps to think of it in terms of water flow. Resistance is the size of the pipe, volts is the water pressure, and amps is the flow rate.
Although resistance is an inverse relationship to pipe size (the higer the resistance, the smaller the pipe).
This image is replacing the water analogy with anime women.
Your way made way more sense
Oh, now I (unironically) get it...
