- 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.
See the pinned paper on Shitposting as Public Pedagogy if you want the academic case for why this works.

I want to announce that everyone in the Epstein files is banned from my house, with the exception of Bill Gates, who was already banned and is now double banned.
Don't you hate it when a good boycott comes along, and you can't participate because you've already been boycotting them for some previous atrocity? I keep finding good reasons to boycott United, but I've been boycotting them for decades.
At this point I whitelist rather than blacklist.
How stunning and brave of you to stand up for what is right.
Clearly those in the files will feel the hot wrath of justice by not being able to ever go over to your place for Hot Pockets and Capri Suns.
I'll have you know my homemade hummus and baba ganoush platter is the talk of the neighborhood.
Recipie tax or b&. 🔫
You make them like normal but add more allspice than you'd think is reasonable. And a bit of smoked paprika on the ganoush. And don't skimp on the olive oil. I'm talking
Also, broil the eggplants after they're done, before you scoop the goodness out (you can also barbeque them). And don't blend them, you want that weird texture.
Serve with pita and little boats of celery, carrots. bell pepper, onion, whatever you want that is crunchy and can scoop globs of them
I feel like Mia Wallace after just doing a line of blow in Jack Rabbit Slim's bathroom. "I said goddamn!"
Excellent contribution, chatter. Uncritical support.
I’ll bring the pita bread my brother in God.
Real glad I'm not in the Epstein files right now. I don't think I could handle missing out on homemade baba ganoush. I'll pick up some shawarma and be right over
And next up is Jimmy Babaganoosh!
If yall been having people mentioned in the files visiting your house then I got a lot of questions for you that I didn't have before reading this.
