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.

You give systematic id's to completely interchangable things. You give unique names to unique things.

If you name a formal thing (like a physical computer) by its function you have failed at naming. And are probably a manager who doesn't see that one day you'll need many things of almost the same function and to tell them apart. Or that one thing will have many functions.
