Ya'll joke but I'm old enough to remember how fucking annoying it was when the dinosaurs were around. The fuckers shat everywhere, just like a gigantic gaggle of geese, but some of those assholes were big enough that their poop was basically the size of a goose. Sometimes they'd poop right where we made our stone tools and we'd have to spend days depooping, just absolute days wasted doing that.

Infographics welcome, get schooled.

If you are here asking: "Is this a science meme?"

Probably, yes. We use the Dawkins definition of meme: a replicating idea, not just an image macro with a fact on it. A good post here doesn't need to teach you something. It needs to make you ask something: who, what, where, when, and especially why or how.

Science isn't a filing cabinet of facts, it's a conversation. For example, a photo of an eel or other localized wildlife counts because most people never see one, and wonder is the first step of inquiry. A car meme counts if it makes you curious about what's under the bonnet. If you want to talk about something you noticed in the world, chances are someone else wants to talk about it too.

We moderate for vibe, not category. Pruning is light, especially where a post creates interesting discussion. Experimenting is encouraged.

See the pinned paper on Shitposting as Public Pedagogy if you want the academic case for why this works.
