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.

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

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

Simple: 10,524 Grobs in a Slork,
2 Slorks makes a GrobSlork,
16 GrobSlorks makes a Foot,
12 Foots make a Grobe,
64 Grobes and 1 Slork makes a Sorlok

1 Earth gram = (2 GrobSlork(Southeren unit) - 4114 Glorbs(Deep ocean Standard.)) * 7 + 1 .

I just put a bunch of numbers and stupid names. I didn't intend for it to have a consistent schema. I can't even pretend to be as bad as the imperial system it seems.

Still better than Imperial.
