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.

Again, the #1 reason I gave was corporate social media taking down uncensored posts. What’s even less accessible than a censored post? A post that doesn’t exist because it gets the user banned.

I appreciate your commitment to accessibility, but posting image macros without alt text (the norm for most meme communities) isn’t accessible to screen readers either. If you are going to get judgy at this post you have to have beef with 99% of meme culture that doesn’t ever provide image transcriptions either, asterisks or no.

Or you could let people have fun online. 🙄
