Science Memes
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
- Don't throw mud. Behave like an intellectual and remember the human.
- Keep it rooted (on topic).
- No spam.
- Infographics welcome, get schooled.
This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.

we hang it on a wall of silence in the room of our imagination
Let's assume the kid knows it's a recording. It's still a valid question.
Like where is the recording coming from when the kid asks Alexa to play a song?
I never thought about it, as I don't have kids, but must be a bit harder explaining a global IT-infrastructure than it was for my grandpa to explaining how a VHS works. On a generalised level, that is.
The kid made a mistake asking where music came from. Now me must learn about TCP/IP, NTP and DNS 💀💀💀💀
The kid is gonna need naptime and to clear the next 3 years of his schedule. This is gonna get complicated.....
The music stays in your head until your forget it. Music only exists in your head
All these physics answers! The funnest explanation for a kid is just that music is only there when you're listening to it. If you don't listen, there's no music. When you start listening again, music comes back. Then ask if they can hear the music of the wind.
Can you hear the music of dad's bowl movements?
Ha! Gotta rip one as they're listening to the wind in the trees.
It goes on until it doesn’t? Seems like there’s a pseudo-scientific philosophical argument that it continues on forever at some quantum level?
To retire on a farm upstate, unless my mom lied to me 🤔
into our minds and into our hearts
Nothing's really ever gone
The music stays there we keep moving
But actually though, music goes up into the sky and becomes clouds.
It diverges into the quantum realm of misheard lyrics.
oh when will they ever learn? oh when will they... ever learn
