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.

Humans do bioluminisce, it's just too weak for human eyes and most detectors.

A lot of Bioluminiscence, but Infrared light as almost in any living be, which we can't see without special devices.

Structural weakness not only in the lower back, but also in the knees. The human being still has many reminists of an quadruped, as one of the younger species. He still has a way to be optimized as bipedo. Lower back and knees are still not optimized for this, apart of some other static and organic problems. We are still in phase beta.

It's different from the blackbody radiation that body heat produces.

Evolution doesn't follow the rules of intelligent design anyhow. If they did, we would all be crabs.

Thank you, I came here to say the same thing. The problem isn't that we don't glow, it's the fact that our eyes suck.

Also you are a flying squid and not a glowing squid, so its no wonder that we/you don't glow.

I speak as a human when I wear my human costume. That's exactly why I have this shirt:

Don't we have some of the best eyes in the entire animal kingdom except for birds?

"Best eyes"

Adjusts glasses

Not good enough obviously.
