    So we lived closer to a triceratops than it did to a stegosaurus? My brain hurts.

      There is more time between Stegosaurus and T. Rex than there is between T. Rex and humans!

        To imagine T. Rexes roaming around… feels like yesterday!

          Yep, that’s them.

              From the pathetic t-rex to the mighty chicken.

      Yep. Stegosaurus about 250myo, T.Rex 65myo.

      So it’s less anachronistic to have a T.Rex playing an electric guitar than it is to have a Stegosaurus and T.Rex together.

        Pretty sure 250mya is before dinosaurs. According to the dates given by Wikipedia, Stegosaurus is 145-155 myo

      There is more time between the building of the last pyramids and cleopatras rule than there is between her and us.

      Also Mammoths were alive when they were built

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.
