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.

2038 is approaching super fast and nobody seems to care yet

At the rate of one year per year, even.

For each second that passes we're one second closer to 2038

Except for leap seconds. Time is the worst to work with :(

AfaIk that's not entirely true, e.g. Debian is changing the system time from 32 bit integer to 64 bit. Thus I assume other distros do this as well. However, this does not help for industrial or IOT devices running deprecated Unix / Linux derivatives.

That's not true, lots of people are panicking about how fast they're getting older
