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.

Académie Française: <<Ahem -- pardon et moi?>>

You mean <<pardonnez moi?>>

"pardon et moi" means "pardon and me". "pardonnez moi" means "pardon me" (in a polite / respectful tense).

It still works, it can mean: sorry but how do I exist if it isn't a rulebook?

Delightfully failing to be either but with a huge sense of superiority and disdain for the youth and migrants.
