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.

Wait. Shouldn't the cat be in both boxes, though? The two states are dead or alive and not nonexistent or existent

Yes, but it does not change anything to the statement, it is irrelevant whether it is illustrated with alive/dead or existing/non-existent
