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.

That small amount of cholesterol you need to live can be synthesized by your own body, which is also why animal products but not plant products have cholesterol (the animals you're eating synthesized their own cholesterol) and also why vegans aren't dropping dead of low cholesterol all the time

Sorry, I had to get a refresher on the physiology of fats in the body. Whew, it's been a while and I remembered it all wrong. I edited the original to reflect that.
