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.
  2. Keep it rooted (on topic).
  3. No spam.
  4. Infographics welcome, get schooled.

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

Over a quarter century ago!

Not yet, it won't be over a quarter century ago for 2 more years.

Hold up,

2024-1994=30 years

Since a century is 100 years, 1/4 would be 100/4=25 years

How did you get 32 years equals a quarter century?

Oh, I was going by when the last millennium ended, not when the reference was from. That makes sense.
