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.

It bothers me it's not in 4 bit "bytes" even though I know it's just a convention for computers

The four bit sections of eight bit bytes are called nibbles, you know because nibbles are small bites
