        Reminds me of a picture I saw of an owl that was missing a lot of feathers on its head, captioned “…bless you.”

      Exactly what i wanted to comment. Forward looking eyes, eyes set back into the skull a bit more and the look of a tortured soul who you know will do the same to you. All from a little bóbr

    Reminds me of Shelly Lowdry’s cat named Precious. She swore up and down it was the cutest thing ever. I’m not the type to be hurtful so I just kept it to myself, but that thing was the ugliest cat I ever seen.

Rules

  1. Don’t throw mud. Behave like an intellectual and remember the human.
  2. Keep it rooted (on topic).
  3. No spam.
  4. 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.
