    Everyone who’s dealt with kids knows you have to bisect the giraffe equally from nose to tail so everyone gets 2 legs, or somebody will cry that it’s unfair.

      Everyone who deals with scientists knows they assume a perfectly spherical, frictionless, giraffe.

          If it’s frictionless, then a proper scientist already knows it’s in a perfect vacuum.

            Not necessarily. Two objects can still have friction in a vacuum together.

              There was only half a giraffe. It didn’t say half a giraffe and some molecules.

        This is the way. And from experience, it will result in sub-nanometer size differences.

            This is great! I feel I’m reading a drunk Brit who has some familiarity with the Bible, just a little.

            Oi! They’re both cunts!

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.
