A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.

This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.
Tbh, it makes me sad that the Swastika is viewed as a racist symbol. It has existed for ages before the advent (and collapse?) of Nazis. The Nazis have misappropriated it in the eyes of the western world. There are still numerous cultures all over the world who view the swastika as a symbol of good health.
I predict the swastika will be redeemed before the toothbrush mustache.
What did Chaplin do wrong?
Communism
Of course, the Nazi moon base was just a jumping off point to get to the North Star
I see we're posting conservative memes today
Why do Americans call this the Big Dipper? What even is a dipper?
A dipper is like a large ladle and is used more for transferring a large amount of liquid rather than serving. Oftentimes, the end will be more squared off with a flat bottom.
To me, these two constellations look very much like dippers and it's difficult to see them as bears.
I’m from the UK, we call it The Plough.
That makes sense. I can definitely see that. Do you have a different name for Ursa Minor? We call it the Little Dipper here, but I'm assuming that's not the case on your side of the pond.
In the Netherlands we call this "the big bear", which is an even more bullshit name, if you ask me.
But at least "big bear" is consistent. That's literally what Ursa Major means, and that the name it had basically for 2000 years now.
The reason it doesn't remotely look like a bear is because this is just the ass and tail. The whole thing looks like this:
A old timey ladle with a flat bottom.
It’s the cooking pot looking part of Ursa Major
