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.

Everything is a wire if the voltage is high enough.

Every machine is a smoke machine if you use it wrong enough.

I was interviewed for a position where lady handed me a pen and asked if it was a conductor.

I replied: "if the voltage is high enough, yea. She scoffed. Needless to say, I didn't get the job.

Honestly I think you gave the experienced adult answer to what was a high school or even middle school science question.

that just sounds like a weird interview.

"you're qualified for this position if, and only if, you can answer a useless question with only a rudimentary understanding of the subject and no critical thought"

if true, you dodged a bullet

Assuming that you can draw a triangle from any 3 lines, draw a triangle from lines of length 1, 2 and 3

Isn't that impossible, because let's say you use 3 as the base, the only way 1 and 2 could connect is if they were at 0 angle.
