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.

as someone who has tried to make a furnace to melt metals, I envy iron age people who could do it successfully (unlike me) with no fancy tools or materials

You should try having nothing else better to distract you for 12-15 years. With no books, no TV, and no internet, if you need to figure out how to build a forge, you'd figure it out eventually. Through sheer boredom if nothing else.
