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.

We’re storing data in peanut butter? Please tell me there’s jam involved.

/j it’s amazing we’re talking about petabytes. My first computer had like 600 meg. (Pentium 486 cobbled out of spare- old- parts from my dad’s ~~junk~~”Parts” rack.)

😁 ya my first "computer" was a ZX-81 with 1kB of ram, type too much and it was full! A card with a whopping 16kB later came to the rescue.

It's been a wild time in history.
