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.

Fun fact: the name for a weed in my native language is literally "angry grass" :3

Unkraut in German. Doesn't deserve to be called a Kraut.

Similar in Norwegian: Ugress. Un-grass.

I've heard one definition of it that I like: The grass that your (grazing) animals won't eat.

Oh man. I have known this word as the name of an electronica music project for many years. Now I know what it means (never bothered to look it up. )
