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

  1. Don't throw mud. Behave like an intellectual and remember the human.

  3. No spam.
  4. Infographics welcome, get schooled.

This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.

A teetotaler is someone who abstains from alcohol

Tea totaller would make a reasonable pun in a thing about the Boston tea party, but sounds like a mondegreen in other contexts

In Boston tea party contexts the Bostonians would be the tea totallers presuming you accept "to total" as meaning "to destroy"
