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.

second panel of standard "same picture" office meme, but with "fig" in lowercase impact outline covering the word "picture" in the subtitle

Are these sig figs, or just the regular type?

How do I know it's not two halves of the same fig?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 days ago

The shape and internal structure are different.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Yeah, it should be "fig 1", "also fig 1, but the other half".

fig 0.5 and fig 1.0

Do you have a justified true belief they aren't the same fig?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 days ago

Because... Science!

[–] [email protected] 10 points 4 days ago

Hrmf, figures.

Does this mean that everything else labeled as fig has been a lie?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 days ago

Not a lie per se, more of a fib.

Banana for scale?

Damn, black and white figs look like demons. The paradolia is real.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 days ago

Damn you.
