Chandler Bing says more dumb things before 9 a.m. than most people do all day. Are all of them haha funny? No. But we still love the guy and would never question his sense of humor.

You could describe 'Bad Science Jokes' in pretty much the same words. This fun online project posts more corny puns and ridiculous photos than most meme pages, and it's exactly why we follow it — the content is so bad, it's actually good.

We at Bored Panda covered 'Bad Science Jokes' a few months ago, but during that time Melissa Miller, the woman running the show, has been keeping herself real busy so we just had to make an update!

I'm still traumatized by Pluto not being considered a planet anymore (it was during my school years).

This is actually an amazing idea. I would LOVE it if someone would do this. Otherwise, every generation goes on repeating the things they learned in their teens, and without constantly reading up on every subject (which no adult the has time for) it's impossible not to be outdated.

I remember feeling so sceptical that different parts of your tongue taste different things, because my own experience suggested otherwise. And yet it was in textbooks.

Haven't even graduated from high school and I have so many doubts about the validity of the “tongues have different sections for different tastes” thing.

Whenever a kid would say it looks like the continents fit together like a puzzle it was immediately shot down by 1950s/60s teachers.

That's awesome. People should use this, to remember that "the science" is NEVER "settled". At least if you're being scientific, it isn't. Those claiming such are the true "science deniers".

YES! I was in the back of a science lesson and the teacher was drawing a plant cell on the board. I was trying to catch her eye and shake my head - it was all wrong. My biology degree was 20years out of date - she was a little older. After class she said - I know what you mean but that is what is on the exam and in their books. I asked her when did it change and why. She said she had no idea, but the same thing had happened to so much of what she had learned..... Boooooo

Sounds good. Until Q gets in there and starts telling everyone that the Earth is flat and vaccines cause autism. Some facts need updating, but there's also a lot of loonies that just want to rewrite everything they disagree with.

In my youth, I studied entomology. I know they have reassigned some insects, added an order or two. I imagine other biologies have also had similar changes.

When i learned the first years in school, it was still the common believe in science, that there is only our galaxy. I think i was in grade 5, when Hubble sent back its' first images and blew everybodies' minds.

So your first year in school was in the 15th century, was it? We've known about other galaxies since long before the Hubble.

Just like last time, we managed to get in touch with Melissa and she was kind enough to have a little chat with us about 'Bad Science Jokes.'

When asked which subjects do her fans seem to be interested in the most, she told Bored Panda that "my followers really seem to like anything animal-themed. Another one that always excites is astronomy. Astronomy is one of my favorites to meme about, too. There's a lot more than 'Uranus is gassy' but that one never fails to get a laugh!"

There's a somewhat common misconception that running a meme page is as simple as reposting the stuff you find on Reddit. While that might be true for some generic conceptless Trashtagram, 'Bad Science Jokes' is an entirely different case. There's a reason why it has hundreds of thousands of followers, and that's mindful content curation.

"I've been running 'Bad Science Jokes' for almost a decade now," Melissa said.

"A few things I look for are popularity of the subject and meme template, asking if I laughed (I'm easily entertained so I better laugh at it!), and seeing if it's been over-posted or over-used. I try to not post the same stuff that every other science or meme page is posting. I like being the trailblazer of the science meme world."

"I have some groups around the web that I use to help find or create content," she explained. "My group 'Unappreciated Puns' on Facebook and 'BadScienceJokes: the Group', also on Facebook. There, people help me find great puns or even send me memes!"

But sometimes the stars align and it can be as easy as seeing a picture and thinking to yourself, 'Yup, that'll do.'

Now that 'Bad Science Jokes' has become so successful, Melissa said that at the same time she feels both more and less pressure working on it.

"I have literally been on a fancy dinner date and yelled, 'Wait, I didn't post on 'Bad Science Jokes' today!' I take it very seriously. Some days, like anyone, I get burnt out and will not post as frequently. I usually will allude to my followers what happened by captioning a post [something along the lines of], 'Be sure to take a break today!' or 'You're more than a selfie at a crazy angle.' We all get caught up in the online world and our online personas. We all need to make efforts to get out of the cycle, if for nothing more than our own sanity."

"'Bad Science Jokes' may just be a meme page but to me, it is so much more than that," Melissa added. "I have been able to start my own business (Digi-Buzz) through the help of 'Bad Science Jokes.' I have heard of people making friends by sending screenshots of my memes in group chats or in school. I heard of someone asking someone to prom with the 'Bad Science Jokes' book!"

"I don't know if other meme pages can say the same, but I have been blessed with a community of people who really enjoy the content and want more. They have been able to bring 'Bad Science Jokes' into their lives even off their phones and computers. It has been an amazing ride, and I hope this ride continues for a long time."

at least it's not like birds. Birders have this habit of naming birds anything other than what they look like. People: see bird with red head and triangular beak.Normal person: "Let's call it the red-headed finch." Birder: "Let's call it the lesser pied brown-backed finch".

I might be wrong, but I believe that sound doesn't multiply this way. Loud sounds add on a logarithmic scale. If the level of noise is doubled, only 3 dB is added.

Sorry to be such a geek, but in 2020 there was around 62,000 registered vessels in the world trading fleet, which represents around 2 billion tons. A 1mm rise in sea level requires 10-power of 12 per km squared. So the effect of taking every ship out of the water would be irrelevant. HOWEVER- global shipping accounts for around 940 million tons of C02 annually, which represents around 2.5% of global C02 emissions. Shipping also contributes to climate change through emissions of clack carbon from burning fuel oil. To put that in perspective- shipping accounts for more C02 and carbon pollution than global aviation...
