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.

Ace Hardware is where you find frustrated tenants who decided it would just be easier to fix the sink themselves rather than deal with the landlord
You can also find there lost asexuals that ware looking for a garlic bread bakery.
When I was renting that was me lol. Tbf, the reason I didn't want to deal with the landlord is because I didn't pay the pet fee...nor the "smoke jazz tobbaccy in the apartment" fee...
"Look it'll be easier for me to just do it than to hide the cats and bongs ok?"
Was it in the pale moon light?
Do you ask that of all your prey?
Yeah, that's pretty close to the reason for my last trip to Ace. Fucking slumlord. D:
I had sparks flying out of my fixtures in one room from old water damage. After 2 days I just replaced them myself with $3 gfi switches and plugs and put an Arc fault breaker in.
When I moved out I took the outlets and breaker with me. I didn't need them, but fuck those guys.
I installed a ceiling fan in my apartment when I first moved in, and you bet your ass I'm uninstalling it and taking it with me when I move out. It's a nice ceiling fan.
