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.

Strength squares as you scale up but mass cubes; creatures this large wouldn't be able to move their own body weight.

If you stop just before immobility, you'd have gargantuan fights at a glacial pace. Would be a terrible movie, but maybe a cool story or book.
