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.

Other comments are wrong to blame this on "stupidity" instead of corrupt profit seeking incentives.

Right. They're a lot of things, but stupid isn't one of those things.

The system works not only as planned, but as excruciatingly maintained - it takes so much work to keep this clusterfuck alive at peak status quo of financial gains & wealth accumulation.
