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.

Too mathematically correct, 0.9 = 1 too if you feel like it. Heck, 0.8 is close enough that it's probably alright.

Considering the subjects in the meme, they have chosen death. Chemistry does not round well.

Isn't that mathematicaly correct? It's a infinit series that converges on 1

No idea. I was going for how 1/3 = 0.3333…, then 3/3 = 1 = 0.9999….
