Glad I'm not the only one whose mind jumped to this

Wouldn't want the yoghurt to go critical.

I take it if all of them were to try at the same time the lid would close

Researchers considered it an amazing feat of intelligence, group thinking and long term planning, but turns out the one sitting out simply didn't like yoghurt

At first glance I thought that was a giant plate of pancakes with a giant pat of butter on it.

Now I want a giant plate of pancakes with a giant pat of butter on it.

Easy:

  1. go around the 4th wall
  2. climb above the top
  3. tunnel down beneath the wire
  4. why is this so hard, who wants the stupid yogurt anyway?!

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.
