The core of any meme is humor and relatability. This means that wherever there are two people, it’s possible for them to already start creating memes. Practically speaking, this means that basically every topic, from fandoms, geographic locations, and even certain jobs will often have its own dedicated meme pages.
The “Science Memes” online community is dedicated to amusing and clever content that does its best to teach you something through humor. So get comfortable as you scroll through, upvote your favorites, and be sure to comment your own ideas below.

While we do tend to think of memes as a direct product of the internet age, in reality, they are actually older. You may already know the factoid that it was Richard Dawkins who may have coined the term in his 1976 book The Selfish Gene, a quite fighting detail, given the content of this list. It would be over twenty more years before this term was used for internet content.
Setting the name aside, some researchers believe that images and ideas that we would identify as memes have actually been used for centuries. “Memetic communication,” as some researchers call it, is, indeed, very very common for humans in general. If you think about it, an inside joke is basically a verbal meme.

Similar: Someone once told me he doesn't eat anything with genes in it!
Now that we have significantly better ways to make “content,” memes have moved from specific references we share with our friends and family and have become digital. Now, with just a little bit of effort, nearly anyone can make images, videos, gifs, and much more as long as they have a computer and internet connection.

Wouldn't anything involving the history of Ancient Egypt be a "Pyramid Scheme" on some level.
Given the fact that many online memes follow certain templates, it’s no surprise to see that stock images show up in them all the time. In general, under US law at least, most memes fall under fair use laws, as long as you aren’t trying to sell them. However, there are cases where famous memes have been taken from copyrighted images and then used by a company or organization in a way that is very clearly not fair use.

He is CAPTAIN Jack Sparrow! The laws of physics don't apply to him! Surely everyone knows that!

For anyone not in the know, Stephen Hawking advertised a time traveller party. He only did it however after it had happened, so nobody came

I have seen a company claim to get more energy out of algae biofuel than the energy it received from sunlight. This is how they did it.

This has nothing to do with the Pythagorean Theorem. It's the Triangle Inequality Theorem. "The length a side of any triangle - right or otherwise - is always less than the sum of the lengths of the other two sides."

Close! The very essence of reality is semantics. Because maths wouldn't exist without semantics, and because you are taught semantics in beginners Spanish!

We're talking "spin" in quantum mechanics here. Like the spin of an electron. It does spin, but it doesn't.

What If No One Goes For The Blonde
Taking into account the motion of the earth around the sun, the solar system around the galaxy and the galaxy moving away from the centre of the universe, any object that would be at absolute rest would appear to us as moving at a very high rate of speed, yet it is not moving at all.
Yup
Yeah, comes close - We in Germany shut down our nuclear plants in favour of wind and solar... and have to buy nuclear produced energy from France, coal produced energy from Poland and had to reactivate some of our coal plants as well. Ironically all under the government of "The Greens" party hat religiously claims to fight global warming

For physicists who study air resistance, the Achilles heel is air turbulence. And for physicists who study air turbulence, the Achilles heel is surface effects. You can't win.
Biology
Mathematics is just applied semantics. Semantics is just applied linguistics. Linguistics is just applied psychology. Psychology is just applied biology. And we're back to the beginning.

There are still physicists out there trying to prove that quantum mechanics is deterministic. Would you believe it.
