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.

But what if I don't become fossilised and get converted in oil instead?

You will be unearthed abruptly by a bunch of rednecks who will be excited to see you and burn you!

Isn't this the plot of Encino Man?

It's also the plot of many vampire movies.

Although the friend part may be a bit shorter.

Who knows, maybe some of us will be unearthed in millions of years by the next dominant species.

True but it’s a joke in a meme community so I think it’ll be okay if it doesn’t meet the scientific rigor we expect in the rest of the communities on mander.xyz
