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.
I love it. it feels like Polaris will be there long after this rock is barren and cold, and we can continue to navigate by it in the gay space communism
Apparently the star is going to fizzle out soon, but beside that, if you are not on earth it becomes irrelevant for navigation.
fwiw it'll at least stop being the north star in some thousand years (might be longer), which is arguably even more fucked to think about
like, people in the past had a different north star, what the fuck
why would you want to dash my hopes like that?
you can just explore other star systems i guess? isn't that something?
