We’d still be living in the dark ages if it weren’t for science. Albert Einstein, Marie Curie, Thomas Edison, Isaac Newton and so many other bright sparks paved the way to the world as we know it. While the stereotypical scientist is sometimes seen a lonely nerd in a lab coat, with hardly any friends and a lacklustre sense of humor, that’s as far from the truth as outer space.

Intellectual Science Memes is a cool corner of the internet where close to 11,000 science-loving followers come to collectively cackle at daily scientific memes and reels. "Follow if u are smart", reads the bio. But "smart" is relative. And as Einstein once said, "It's not that I'm so smart, it's just that I stay with problems longer.” Bored Panda has formulated a list of our favorite posts from the page, scientifically proven to make you laugh. Keep scrolling and let us know which ones left you in stitches.

I never used this particular one, but in earlier days of my teaching career I tried to do that kind of stuff. Acknowledge the student's work and bring in a little fun. Unfortunately, I cannot longer do so. Every part of every question has to be substantiated and derived form the course guide. No more room for any creativity.

    The Science Council defines science as “the pursuit and application of knowledge and understanding of the natural and social world following a systematic methodology based on evidence.” And Nasa’s Space Place simplifies it to “curiosity in thoughtful action about the world and how it behaves.”

    While scientists have been around for ages, the actual word "scientist" was only "invented" in 1833, by a British chap called William Whewell. Before then, there were philosophers and cultivators of science. It took Whewell a few tries before he settled on the word scientist.

    ADVERTISEMENT

    "The first he considered was savant, or men of learning. But he dismissed that for both being presumptuous and French. He also considered the German term naturforscher, which is really naturalist. But he worried that some might make fun of that term, calling it nature-poker or nature-peeper," said Howard Markel, professor of the history of medicine at the University of Michigan, during an interview with NPR.

    *Cats. It's pronounced "Myoo." To make up for my "Well, Ackshley" post, here's a fun fact: I remember reading (I think in "Discover" science magazine) that the name-giver (forgot who) of the Muon had no good reason to pick Mu in particular for this particle, but (possibly joking?) claimed it was because his office overlooked a herd of cattle. Other scientists, such as Niels Bohr, wanted to name it after Yukawa, and so it was sometimes known as a Yukon, which is the worst Yukon pun I've heard since the University of Connecticut (U-Conn) named their sports teams "the Huskies." (The U-Conn Huskies?)

    Fahrenheit originally made 100F human body temperature. He chose 0F as the coldest temperature he could consistently make at the time. A mixture of salt and natural ice. Refrigeration hadn't been invented yet. It's pretty messed up we still use it here and he was off by more than two degrees on the hot end but here we are.

    yall: Fahrenheit works like this: it's a scale of 1 to 100 pretty much. 100 is 100% hot, ur really hot and you don't like it. 0 is 0% hot, very cold, not good. 75 is 75% hot, warm but not too much. that's what this post means!

    So in your mind, when I look at tomorrow's forecast temperatures i.e. 13-33, I can't tell what that really means unless I multiply by 1.8 and then add 32? Do you see how nonsensical that is?

    But Fahrenheit makes as much sense for water as Celsius. With Fahrenheit, 0 degrees is the freezing point of salt water. With Celsius, 0 degrees is the freezing point of fresh water. Why is one better than the other? The freezing point of salt water is a much more significant temperature for the human body, which is largely made up of salt water.

    Fahrenheit was also said to be developed by cattle being able to survive in the open. Not so sure about 0°F (- 18°C). - 18°C is the lowest freezing point one can achieve by saturating water with salt (or freezing blood?).

    Brown-Black-Gold would, in fact, be 1Ω, but the fourth band, which is far more commonly gold than anything else, appears to be a different color than the third band. It looks more like the third band is tan, but that's not a color in that code. If it was yellow, then it would be 100kΩ.

    1 year ago Created by potrace 1.15, written by Peter Selinger 2001-2017

    The fourth band is tolerance, and there's no reason it couldn't be yellow. Also for what it's worth, they didn't claim it was 1 ohm exactly, maybe they are just saying the unit.

You just believe what the media and a very few so-called "climate scientists" - whom our taxes support - tell you. Research what it means for those 100 to "agree." Anyway, the answer is .04%. Man contributes just .04% of that .04%, or .004% of our atmosphere. You dips**ts swallow anything your profs have fed you. Do some research! Read a book!

    I remember when I was a lab assistant and the chemistry teacher asked me for ideas for experiments for the class. I came up with one that involved mixing two different compounds and then working out the percentages of each (from memory I think it involved titration but too long ago to remember exactly). Nothing wrong with the experiment per se but the margin for error was so small that even the slightest error in the process would result in ludicrous results. No wonder pretty much the whole class drew a blank.

    There was a first year experiment where you could only complete it in time if you ran several experiments at once, lagging start times. There were lazy undergrads and then there were minority who thought about it, got stressed, adapted and then relaxed. Then there was copying of results from them.

    The physics building at the University of Michigan was sinking into the ground a few centimeters per year, until they did a very expensive fix. Whoever built it did not account for the weight of the equipment. Believe me...the irony of this being the physics building was lost on no one, even English majors taking just one semester of physics (me.)

    Yeah I was always the one pointing out the two cars driving from destination a to b are illogical for not sharing a ride and they should propably not be driving at such different speeds like there must be some speed limit if they are taking the same road. Answer: share one vehicle and both will arrive at the same time.
