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

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

Funnily, that's not really true. Such studies showing that exist but are sponsored by… paper towel companies

Fucking dystopian late stage capitalism... Every fact is not actually a fact cause it's sponsored by corporate interests

I tell my phone to "Remove Suggestion" on that every time, but it never fucking takes and it pisses me off. Don't capitalist twitter or god.
