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?"
Unfortunately there is not such a simple solution. Even 'carbon neutral' schemes can still produce loads of CO2, they just offset it using 'carbon credits' to pump money into carbon reduction projects, many of which are not trusted by some people, including some scientists, to actually work in the long term to reduce CO2 emissions.

Remember how Y2K wasn't a disaster? Yep... and I also remember when hordes of programmers were hired to fix all the old COBOL and Fortran code so computer systems would function on 1/1/2000.
It's too late. The point is that unlike the 80s, people now are anti-intellectual and don't believe the scientists or they're rich folks who understand and don't want their profits to suffer so they feed the anti-intellectualism.

Yes, this is absolutely true - conservatives use the fact that regulations on CFCs *worked* as supposed "proof" that the regulations weren't necessary to.begin with. Reduction of CFCs and the chemical pollutants that caused acid rain are both environmental success stories.
At that time, there were NO billionaire Oil/Gas/Fracking/Logging/Gun/Grocery/Tech/Stocks/Banking/Military Complex Lobby ; so they were able to come to a consensus to save the world.
Remember how it was raining, and then we opened our umbrellas, and nobody talked about the rain again?
How did we have at least 7 ice ages we can prove. How did they ALL melt to form places ? Just sayn 🤷♀️
YES! And now they Actually allow the Super rich to Blast up throughOUR OZONE LAYER to say they were is Outer Space!! Creating massive Holes & now we are Getting higher than ever UV RAYS and READINGS but that's Okay the Rich PAY Bribes!!
Now imagine if instead of listening to scientists, they had followed the American example and made it political.
And the entire thing was exposed as a scam perpetrated by DuPont chemical to get their products banned. Why? Easy, the patent was about to expire and other companies could start producing the stuff royalty free.
What pisses me off is that my grandfather didn't put CFCs in the brevet when he invented the aerosols because he knew they were bad, but the companies changed the formula and put CFCs because it was cheaper...
I kinda remember doing the Covid epidemic that the ozone layer was healing?
Like Y2K. People saying it was fuss about nothing, because nothing happened, because tech guys were working like billy-o to make sure it didn't.
If there hadn't been an alternative for giant corporations to use instead of chlorofluorocarbons they would never have stopped using them but instead they found cheaper alternatives they could use, raise the price of the product, and make insane profits.
Kind of like y2k. It's almost like thousands of people spend long hours preparing and it worked.
Everyone does know that we need that hole, yes? It never completely closes
It took over 20 years and and a******s were doing their best to break the protocols. The original discovery happened when someone discovered that their program did not allow for a zero answer when studying the southern ozone layer - when they fixed the program, they said 'oh, s**t' and the hue and cry started
We had a Republican White House then. So much for the lie that only Democrats are pro-environmentalism. I like when I did a Google search & Biden's name came up for being president in 1987. With his bouts of confabulation, I wonder if Joe actually thinks that.
I read that later researched showed that the ozone hole has always been there and increases and decreases in size naturally. Like when they said they about El Nino was a new things because of climate change and then local fisherman told them they had know about it for many generations.
If expressing the stupidity of the deniers doesn't raise a smile, I feel sorry for you

You clearly didn't read the post. The hole in the ozone was mended by human cooperation. The joke was on somebody just like you... except it's not funny. Nobody says "save the planet" meaning they think the planet is going to explode. They were trying to prevent the changes that led to the conditions that are disasterous for humans and the other animals.

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)
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.

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.
