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.

  3. No spam.
  4. Infographics welcome, get schooled.

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

Every time I read or hear “chigger” it always sounds like a slur

Ironically, people in the South call them "red bugs". Felt like I was speaking slurs when I moved here.

Anyway, chiggers got no place in decent society. Just sayin'.
