A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.

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

Edit: I oopsed.
TIL about this plant. Holy moly.
We have nettles native to where I live but those are like a couple of/a few hours of pain. And the pain is just mildly intense itching. Enough to make a child cry, kind of.
But this... 😳
Is that the one that makes people kill themselves
Yeah, the one in the image here. Sounds absolutely brutal when you look it up.
I looked it up. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dendrocnide_moroides
I've heard it makes a good toilet paper substitute
This isn't the same plant as the op. Op is poison oak (Toxicodendron diversilobum).
Oops mb.
Oof. You're next level evil. :-D
I'm happy to know it is only found up north.
Wow, the Wikipedia article definitely is worth a read! This thing is over the top bad :O
(But, as someone pointed out, this clearly isn't the species in the OP, which has divided leaves with three leaflets.)
I need my eyes checked lmao.
And i thought that's an olive branch.
