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.

Thank you for posting the truth. It really hurts the heart to see all this disinformation being thrown around.

Except there's only one turtle. I was assured "it's turtles all the way down."

The fact that this is a sea turtle and not like a Galapagos tortoise bothers me.

Why would it be a tortoise? What's it going to walk on, no no no, it can only be a sea turtle, swimming in the great nothingness of the universe. None of that turtles all the way down bullshit.
