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.

Cats that have had to live on their own for any period of time catch a few more than 2-3 birds per year. Our guy caught enough prey that he was actually getting on the chubby side.

(Where we lived the windows were the air conditioning, so no way to keep him inside, and he was already a stray. So he wasn't conditioned to it. In fact he'd destroy a screen to get out if he had to.)

Well, we were talking about pet cats, not cats that had to live on their own
