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.

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.

To find the surface area, break the surface into its component polygons - triangle, trapezoid, rectangle, etc. Find the area of each, and add them up. If there's a polygon you don't know the area formula for (or if there is none), choose one vertex and draw all possible diagonals. This will break the polygon into triangles. Then find the areas of those.

Darwin Trying To Unlock All Achievements
Two_rolling_black_eyes 1 year ago
Genetics as we know it did not exist when Darwin did his work. Mendel published his work 6-7 years after "On the origin of the species" (1859) and was ignored as not being relevant to science. His research was "re-discovered" in 1900 by 1 of 3 scientists (arguments over who was first and how much the discovered/just stole from Mendel). A dude named Bateson came up the terms genetics and allele that year based on Mendel's work. It was Fisher in 1919 ( 60 years after "Origin") who published his work proving genetics was related to evolution.

That's partially true. These tests have their limitations, due to what is attempted to measure, but they're not completely off, but the part they are off, is because they're designed to only measure what can be measured that way. In other words, to be accurate - not complete, but within their limits, accurate -, they need to be incomplete. Bragging about it ... is just as dumb as bragging about how far you can throw a ball, or how fast you can run, or any other arbitrary thing your genetics did equip you well with. The bragging ... well, it doesn't go over well anywhere at all (and shouldn't so), even if these tests were accurate AND complete - bragging itself sucks, hence the ballthrowers and fastrunners.

It works perfectly in the bath! try with an empty glass, immersing it upside down from the surface of the water and holding it upright!
Jon Steensen 1 year ago
That boat probably has an internal volume of several hundreds of litters. According to Archimedes' principle it would create a buoyant force of several hundreds of kilos, and according to Newton's law, that would require a weight of several hundreds of kilos to outbalance that and keep it down. As humans are about the same density of water, the buoyant force on those two would cause them to be very close to virtually neutrally buoyant, and hence they will be nearly weightless when the majority of their bodies are submerged in water. The same goes for the boat, except that it is presumably made of wood that is a little less dense than the water, and hence it should float even if it was full of water. So to put it short, there isn't really anything that can keep that boat down there and it ought to float to the surface and not stay submerged. Infact when constructing a submarine, one of the challenges you face, is to get it heavy enough to sink with all that air inside it.

the 5s^1 is wrong, it should be 5s^2, making it 48, which is Cadmium. if you go off of the incorrect version (5s^1), it would technically be Silver.
Radhika 1 year ago (edited)
Technically, silver should have filled as 5s2 4d9. BUT 4d10 orbital is more stable than 4d9 orbital, so silver just takes one electron from 5s orbital and puts it in 4d orbital. Hence, Silver has 5s1 4d10 outer shell.

Try working out how valency allows carbon monoxide CO or the oxides of nitrogen NO, NO2, N2O and NO5. I dare you.
Jon Steensen 1 year ago
Well, is that really so hard? Just think about those molecule building sets with the balls with holes in them. Nitrogen has two holes, and so does oxygen. So NO can be a double bond between nitrogen and oxygen. NO2 can be a nitrogen single bonded to two oxygen which is also single bonded to each other, so they form a small triangle. Substitude the nitrogen for oxygens and vice versa and you get N2O. Add a chain of 3 oxygen atoms single bonded to each other between the two in NO2 and you get NO5. The only tricky one is CO, where the C has to be content with not being fully fulfilled.

Because of Newton’s third law (the one regarding equal and opposite reactions), the car moves absolutely nowhere

Math (or physics, which is "just applied math") was used as a language deemed to be the most suitable to contact alien life with idea in mind that we had nothing in common, so something universal and "the same everywhere" had to be used. It still is based on our perception of Helium molecule (which most stars are believed to contain) of 2 protons and a link between them. It's not ideal, but it's the best humankind could think of at the time. It's probably best we have even today, but I haven't checked for awhile so correct me if I'm wrong somewhere.

4.31ft is 4 feet 4 inches. That is probably not correct. her left foot looks to be about 8 inches from the cabinet (assuming the floor tiles are 12 inches square) the right foot looks to be about 14 inches. The top of her thighs are touching the cabinet which looks to be about 36 inches. So, the floor, cabinet and her legs form a right triangle. Let's say the base is 12, the adjacent is 36 that means the hypotenuse is about 37 inches. Let's say 38. Now assuming the chart is correct, the upper half of her body is approximately 4.5 phones high. That is 26 inches. Since she is leaning forward let's give her 2 more inches and since her head is tilted to the left let's add an inch. That gives us 37 + 26 + 2 + 1 = 66 inches or five foot six inches tall.
