A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.

This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.
Surely in theoretical physics, the most common use of

That cactus is the devil!
Crocodile needs eat cactus to see window
wow that's a big difference (I have no idea what you are talking about)
I think 〉 means a very hungry (or at least large mouthed) crocodile, and > is just a normal one.
smiles and nods, smiles and nods...
No? Not everyone's doing work on quantum systems. Far from it. Most people do not need to use Dirac notation.
I guess not. Its just that when I hear 'theoretical physics' I immediately think of particle physics (and related fields). I have this idea that in most branches of physics people just say the topic, eg. astronomy, material sciences, or whatever; and don't usually specify whether they are doing theoretical work or experimental/empirical work. But in particle physics ... my impression is that people are more likely to specify. Anyway, that's just my own bias I guess.
