I've seen this thing at least 500 times in my life, not sure how folks haven't seen it as many times. Did you all not spend hours pouring over Da Vinci's drawings as a kid? As a teen? As a young adult? Yesterday?

Nah, but i did buy a cool book you might be interested in if you like that kind of thing.

The books all illustrated on different survival things.

I bought it and inscribed it for my son hoping he learns from it but never needs it.

I'm sorry for your loss

My loss?

[-] KeenFlame@feddit.nu 4 points 4 months ago

Your son with so much promise that no longer needs to survive, my condolences

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.

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.
