    This isn’t science; it’s a political meme. I know you’re a mod, but this breaks rule 2 (it is not on topic for a science community).

      Political and scientific are not, in fact, mutually exclusive

        There’s an intersection of politics and science and this isn’t anywhere close to it. Meme about research funding or the astroturfed anti-intellectualism fucking our progress on vaccinations.

        This is just a milquetoast leftist tagline with some science words stapled to it.

      This is clearly both botanical and political. And if a mod is posting it, it would fit within the spirit of the rule intended.

        “mods are always right” is an insane take

          Mods know what their rules mean is a pretty basic take.

            If mods know what their rules mean, they could describe them more clearly so it doesn’t become a philosophical debate.

            For example, “Zero politics allowed”, or “No politics without science as the main theme”.

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.


If you are here asking: “Is this a science meme?”

Probably, yes. We use the Dawkins definition of meme: a replicating idea, not just an image macro with a fact on it. A good post here doesn’t need to teach you something. It needs to make you ask something: who, what, where, when, and especially why or how.

Science isn’t a filing cabinet of facts, it’s a conversation. For example, a photo of an eel or other localized wildlife counts because most people never see one, and wonder is the first step of inquiry. A car meme counts if it makes you curious about what’s under the bonnet. If you want to talk about something you noticed in the world, chances are someone else wants to talk about it too.

We moderate for vibe, not category. Pruning is light, especially where a post creates interesting discussion. Experimenting is encouraged.

See the pinned paper on Shitposting as Public Pedagogy if you want the academic case for why this works.
