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.

Why rename?

[–] Hawke 55 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Because it’s a leaf insect not a stick insect. So the stick name is inappropriate.

Ah, thank you. I assume that's in the blurriness I decided not to read.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 4 days ago

It is actually in the first sentence of the last paragraph of blurriness though I could only make this out after reading the comment above about stick vs leaf insects.

[–] Hawke 3 points 4 days ago

It is. The first couple paragraphs are more legible.
