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.

Yeah but those heat engines don't rely on spinning things inside a magnetic field. Heat on one side, less heat on the other side, and you have current. No motors.

We're all heat engines on this blessed day if you broaden the definition enough.
