Science is a lot of things. It’s a person in a lab coat experimenting with different materials as well as an astronaut bouncing around in zero gravity. It’s a geologist studying rocks and a mathematician perusing books. It’s an archeologist out on an expedition and a biologist monitoring different animal species.
That’s the great thing about science—it’s vast. It is also useful because of discoveries that allow us to advance in this world. It is exciting because it gives us new prospects to aspire to. It is ongoing, inspiring, devastating, beautiful and, also, funny.
The list below is all about the funny side of science. The jokes, the puns, the memes, and other ridiculousness that was collected and posted on The Lighter Side of Science Facebook group. Scroll down to see our favorites.

Our whole attict is a bat sanctuary. They fly around the house at night, catching mosquitoes and we love the little buggers. Sometime they crash in the grass and I use welding gloves to gently put them back. When I grew up a tv tower was built nearby, the poor bats got disorientated and every morning I found dozens in tve grass
Now if it were on a Perch.. Tastes like Chicken... Chicken of the sea.
Remember, if it bites you and you die, its venomous. If you bite it and you die, its poisonous. If it bites itself and you die, its voodoo. If you both bite each other and neither of you die, its kinky.
There is no point in having these. Unnecessary and messy... time to phase these out... I'm staying inside with all my doors shut tight... and a blow torch in case my chair turns into a spider.
Shaman: "We can make that wolf our friend by scritching a spot on his lower back." Hunter: "No way! He'll kill me!" Little girl: "I'll do it! Come here, mister wolf..."
I love it when a 4 year old is so much more intelligent than a grown person.
Me, a Japanese speaker who has heard a love song that mentioned being “only 10cm apart”: sounds like a you problem
In all seriousness, the regenerating teeth would be awesome but wouldn't be feasible, because permanent, non-replacing teeth were actually one of the great innovations in the evolution of mammals. If your teeth are always falling out and growing back, you never run out, but you also can't develop feeding strategies that rely on your teeth meeting up in a certain way, a.k.a chewing. Permanent teeth allowed the first mammals to start specializing teeth to do different jobs; if their teeth were all in different stages of development, it wouldn't work, because once you get beyond simple plant-tearing pegs or sharp points, your teeth have to make contact with each other the same way all the time to be useable. ('The Rise And Reign Of The Mammals' is a fascinating book if you have any interest in evolutionary history.) Edit: book title
I actually like calling people humans because it sort of makes me feel like I’m not human which I wish was the case
Dont go sticking your hands in those pockets, there is no loose change and if you touch me afterwards I'm gonna puke on your shirt... mucus is gross!! ITS A MUCUS pocket!! worse than a sweaty pocket!!
That is actually a great answer but sadly they will tell you back how Youtube is free for people and not edited by pedo socialist satanists like the washington post
I am 1 on this scale, also can anyone else imagine different sides of something they’ve seen before without seeing the sides? Because if I see the side of say a bottle I am able to imagine what all other views of the bottle look like, I can also do that with rooms and I can imagine a room from a bunch of different angles and all of the people and objects in that room
It always amazes me when people complain that they "aren't going to need something later in life." Sometimes knowledge is just good to expand your brain capacity and enlarge your knowledge base. I have never regretted having learned something and I have been surprised over my life how many things I thought were "useless" at the time have turned out to helpful later.
As someone who has and does work at a thrift store... It is common for us to receive ashes of pets and or loved ones. Not an everyday occurrence but it's happened more times than you would think.
Tiny compared with my plan to build a collider that circumnavigates Australia.
So I get the shadow, but I'm trying to wrap my mind around the circular rainbow
This is mistaken for a circular rainbow but it's not. Rainbows are much larger. This is what's called glory. It's an optical effect due to sunlight interfering with small droplets, so things like clouds, mist, fog. It appears on the antisolar point, which means the opposite end of a line going through you from the sun. So naturally, it ends up right at your shadow.
Yeah mens are so affraid of women we never heard about men hitting, raping or killing a woman like ever !
Okay, I’ve gotten to the bottom of this list, and my cat is still asleep on my shoulder, and never stays on me this long. I desperately need a shower and to get on with my day, but he’s softly purring in my ear. He also copies me if I take a deep breath in, it’s so cute! What do I do???
