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.

My cousin works (sometimes) as a truck driver. He's certified for any size truck, flammable/biohazardous goods, the lot. He'd be making good money if he could stop telling his bosses to fuck off.
