50 Times People Expressed Their Opinion On Science By Creating These Hilarious Memes (New Pics)
Interview
A day without memes is a day without humor these days... combine it with a subject such as science and you might think you'd get a mediocre combination at best. I mean, how funny can memes based on chemistry (unless you are a fan of Breaking Bad) or physics even be? Well, don't be too fast to judge, Pandas, as you might be in for a surprise.

Bored Panda recently interviewed Roger Harris, the person behind the famous Facebook group 'Science Humor.' With a twinkle in his eye and a meme always at the ready, Roger not only possesses expertise in the field of science but also excels at managing one of the largest groups on the social platform.
When asked about the challenges faced while moderating a group of such magnitude, Harris told us, "Ah, challenges, there've been many. Just the other day, someone tried to share a meme about Schrödinger's cat that was neither here nor there. But jokes aside, moderating a group this size is like conducting a rather large and chaotic experiment. The trickiest bit is balancing free expression with maintaining decorum. Thankfully, with a set of strict rules and a spot of British resilience, we've managed quite alright."
The unique balance of humor and education is evident in the moderator's approach. When diving into the essence of integrating humor with science, he stated, "I've always believed that a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down, and in this case, a good joke can make even the most complex scientific theory digestible. If our memes and jokes spark a moment of curiosity or even better, a Google search, then I believe we're on the right path to promoting science in the most delightful way possible."
I bet they were worried initially whether it was a pirate ship or not
However, Roger's journey doesn't end here. As for the future of 'Science Humor,' he shared his aspirations, saying, "While 'Science Humor' has been a rollicking adventure, there's always the thought of where to next. Perhaps a 'Science Humor' YouTube channel? Or maybe a podcast? Though, I must confess, I'm partial to the idea of a book. 'Science Humor: A Decade of Memes & Enlightenment'. What do you reckon?"
Am I the only person who thinks that's a really stupid looking car?
A core principle of group founder's management style lies in fostering diversity and inclusivity. Elaborating on this idea, Harris remarked, "Science, much like humor, is a universal language. We've always aimed to ensure the 'Science Humor' group is as diverse as a Petri dish teeming with bacteria! Our mission is to represent every corner of the globe and every facet of science. After all, as they say, variety is the spice of life, and in our case, the formula for the best kind of humor."
So, does it mean, when you make such a pic, and you send it to someone, that you're actually mooning them?
Or we are that tiny galaxy in Orion's belt (Men in Black movie reference)...
I want one of these. I have a kitten that would love it.
expedition to steal koalas ...or was it koalas stealing humans???????
The proof that there's intelligent life in the universe is that it hasn't come to visit us.
You find this on the beach, get excited, and try to read the message, only to get: a) Rick rolled, or b) virus on your computer.
Is it just me who thinks the word fae is really pretty??
Then bubonic plague ended and his career nose-dived as he was forced back to the office. ;o)
"Dammit... I swear I observed gravity causing an apple to fall...", said Isaac, as yet another pencil floated above his desk.

They didn't have apples back then. Not even blackberries. It was a fig. This started the tradition of scientists labelling illustrations, "fig 1", "fig 2" etc.
Hmm. Everything I can find seems to indicate apples have been cultivated for thousands of years, that the Romans brought apples to England, and that there are a lot of references to apples and apple cider throughout the history of England. It also sounds like the tree Isaac Newton's contemporary friends identified as grown from a cutting from the tree in question still exists and is around 350 years old. ETA: sorry if you were joking and I misunderstood. Edit2: It just hit me (pun intended) 😅

So gravity only exists for 358 years. How did anything stay on earth before 1665?
They were tied up by feudal lords.

He also invented the cat-flap because he was tired of being interrupted by his cat wanting to go out. Genius! But then when she had kittens he made a second, smaller one only to watch them follow their mom through the first one.
Speaking of Cambridge - fascinating seeing names carved into the walls by former students, dating from the year 1600 onwards..
I tried that at my uni and they "fixed" it, covered it up and painted over it. Dummies have no sense of a future history.

does this mean the UofC owns the rights to this discovery? it was done on work time after all...
Ergo, we should all only ever work from home. Imagine the discoveries that have been lost because people had to go into the office!
And this is why working from home not only reduces community spread of diseases BUT furthers advances in the upper levels of math and classical mechanics.
For the sake of future generations of students, BAN all the work from home!
Maybe just let people choose. Plenty of people thrive when they are not in an office or around a ton of people to distract them. Hybrid is a good compromise, as well. I don't know if you have ever had to drive a 2 hour commute two ways each day for 5 days a week, but you might understand better if you did.

I saw a meme once which was a picture of a Ford dealership where the sign said "Free Dog With Every Ford Sold, So You Have A New Friend To Walk Home With!"
I see only bunnies and butterflies.... with machine guns and machetes.

A couple, I really need to get off the computer because apparently, I have read the entire internet.
Load More Replies... Maybe a handful of these are not related to most sciences? I'm confused by the titles lol.
Every time I click on a phone notification telling me that Bored Panda has something interesting, when I get to the page, there's no way to find what it says the article is about. All I can see is the headline. Where is the link to the pics and text? Swiping left and right doesn't work. The only way I have found to be able to see it is to shut down the app and then do a search for the title. This makes me wanna throw my phone out the window and I would really appreciate some help. I took a screenshot, but I'm not sure if there is anywhere to put it here. I will look.
There isn't even an FAQ page that I can find on this app. It's really irritating because I like the articles and pictures that you post and I would love to be able to see them. If anybody who works, there is reading this, please give me a hand.
