Welcome to c/science_memes @ Mander.xyz!

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



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.

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

People always ask why I don't turn my hobby into a job, and this is the response I give. If the thing I do to unwind from my job becomes my job, what will I do to unwind from my job?

Ah, we've solved this in America. You go to your second, minimum wage, job. There your skills will not be valued and your work conditions will much worse

This will leave you exhausted and make you yearn for your normal job again
