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.

The scale is very misleading. 0-200m is the same as 200-1000 and 1000-2000m is like 1/8 of 0-1000m.

Doesn't really capture the insane depths of the Mariana Trench. This website visualizes it better. Albeit without the Saddam lying at the bottom.
