A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.
Rules
This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.
Same for hippos.
Hippos are monsters. They kill for the joy of killing. They're vegetarians! They kill as many humans in Africa every year as crocs.
They spray their shit around by spinning their tiny tail as they shit, like a shit-filled garden hose.
They are moist and gross. Their call is laughing maniacally at the world. Moo Deng is damp Chucky without thumbs.
But seagulls have no morals

Don't let a Seal bite you.
"Seal finger was first described scientifically in 1907. It can cause cellulitis, joint inflammation, and swelling of the bone marrow; untreated, the course of "seal finger" is slow and often results in a thickened, contracted joint. Historically, seal finger was treated by amputation of the affected digits once they became unusable...."
There was this docureality about seal hunters in the Arctic on Norwegian television a few years back. One of the crew contracted "Spekkfinger" and they had to travel a day to Iceland to drop him off. Apparently there still is a demand somewhere for greenland seal as there was a few boats that the show followed. And they had a crew with cook and all.
For the dolphins (porpoises) of this conversation are we taking a cat as being more or less cunning, intelligent and conniving than a toddler?
They're taking it as the animal that will push your stuff off the table to address the fact that you looked at it wrong yesterday
And you’re gonna screw something else up tonight so prepare for kamikaze dive bombs in your sleep!
I love this about Lemmy - this convo was nearly 3 weeks ago - and you seem to have just found it and commented. People still engage on stuff even if it’s not brand new. I like it here.
I'm sorting by 2 weeks since I have exhausted my shorter feeds. I cannot read some things without commenting so I'll occasionally ping older threads
