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.

Welcome to the field of engineering! Your first lesson will be; "Tolerances and you"!

Never, in any engineering field, have I EVER seen anyone simplify pi to 5. For that matter, I have never seen anyone simplify to 3. It is always 3.14. I feel like pi simplification is a weird meme that people think engineers do but is never practiced anywhere.

It's like if there was a meme about chefs saying they always replace eggs with grapefruit. No they don't, and it's nonsense to think they do.

There's a lot of weird stereotypes out there that make no sense. Like the whole "programmers wear thigh high socks" thing. Where did that even come from?

Bet that one was started by all those dastardly programmers that wear knee high socks!
