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.

Tell them we're sorry about the general state of everything and ask them what the memes are like in their culture.

It would be fun if actual intelligent alien lifeforms decide to land their flying saucers on earth on April 1st

Wouldn't it prove they weren't intelligent ?

That would likely depend on their motives. If they are wanting to infiltrate and don't have a good cloaking tech, then entering on a day when any reports would likely be dismissed would be a spectacularly intelligent decision.

I have trouble to distinguish whether its some funny phrasing of an actual thing that was done or just a late April fools joke, can someone help me out?

Given the way that science headlines are composed, I'm sure this is, if not an outright lie, then a gross exaggeration, and if neither of those, a very clever interpretation of something that is otherwise probably much more mundane than it appears.
