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.

Also, look how people jump to the conclusion that you're either at one extreme side or the opposite extreme side of any issue - usually the worst one - because they spot an element of what you're saying that matches up with some meme they saw, that reduces a complex issue to a clear-cut binary choice between good and evil. Not that memes or AI are bad, people just lazily apply them way beyond their level of precision.

This is why we can't have nice things.
