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.

  4. Infographics welcome, get schooled.

This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.

Normal human = Arnie in his prime, pumping gear.

The way we've normalized steroid use* is fucking insane. I remember when people used to be ashamed of that shit.

Edit* abuse because apparently the context isn't enough of an indicator of meaning
