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
- Don't throw mud. Behave like an intellectual and remember the human.
- Keep it rooted (on topic).
- No spam.
- Infographics welcome, get schooled.
This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.

Electricity is the flow of electrons, (negative charge,) caused by one substance gaining electrons, and one substance losing electrons in a redox reaction. The thing that is oxidized loses electrons, and the substance that is reduced gains electrons. Oxidation is visible in nature via Rust. Water and oxygen gain electrons that are lost by the pure iron creating an iron oxide that is reddish brown. (Batteries have a + and - sign, hooking them up into a loop with a device creates the electricity that powers the device. Everyday batteries utilize zinc and a magnese oxide, but there are many other types of materials that are used in other types of batteries.) 25 years of this Christian faith homeschool bullshit; pretty clear why these dipshits voted trump.
That's electricity by chemistry. Electricity by physics is done by moving a magnet relative to a wire, for example as the alternator in a car does
Yeah, can you tell I went to school for chemistry? I hadn't even thought about electromagnets or explaining circuits, capacitors and V = IR.
Yeah, my high school was history, history, maths, and maths, at least year 11 and 12 I did double maths and double history. I think I learnt more about electricity when I got into amateur radio, the licence for that is pretty detailed
Ehhh.... That can't be right. And we gotta teach both sides.
It's not needed to explain electricity here, but needed to ban the Bible and religious faith from science and academic books in the US, because the US has too much (weapon) power in the world to let it in the hands of stupid and ignorant creationist people. 50% of cientifics in the US are foreigners and with the Trump policy and cuts of supports, a lot of these are leaving the US (4.000 from the NASA)-
