- Don't throw mud. Behave like an intellectual and remember the human.
- Keep it rooted (on topic).
- No spam.
- 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, but keep it in good faith and never punch down.

if you ask me, mushrooms are a bullshit double standard. THEY get to show their genitals to passing hikers in the state park, but when I do it, suddenly everyone gets real prudish? What’s THAT about?
I don't want my genitals cut off and eaten, don't know about you
If you don't want people to eat your genitals, have you considered filling them with deadly alkaloids and neurotoxins? Alternatively, just make your genitals look deeply diseased and likely to kill anyone who breathes near them? These methods seem to work pretty well for most mushrooms.
If you're absolutely determined to make sure that no one eats your genitals, and you don't want to learn from the mushrooms, I would recommend registering as a Republican (or your local fascist party, as the case may be)
My problem is that I only want striped tree squirrels to munch on my junk. Any suggestions?
A zoo?
Using the term females like that is kind of telling on yourself mate.
have you tried laying down and covering your body in dirt?
My good person, its just hoomans vs the rest. You not human? Show them genitals. You human? You gonna need a specific type of park to have dem genitals out.
Wait til you learn about flowers...
