50 Of The Cleverest Science Memes That Perfectly Blend Humor With Knowledge
Many of you sitting behind your screens have long forgotten what it's like to fall asleep in a science class only to be awakened by a teacher asking you to explain a principle of Newtonian mechanics in front of the whole class.
The truth is, not many of us have given physics, chemistry, or cosmology a chance to actually learn to like them. Equally few have the brain, willpower, or patience to have done so. Luckily, there are no science tests anymore and we can finally sit back, relax and enjoy the most entertaining part of it.
The Facebook group titled “The Lighter Side Of Science” is a perfect source of it, sharing anything “from bizarre science discoveries and experiments to weird and unusual creatures, scientific studies, theories and much more.”
Boasting 691.3K members, the community is growing strong as it joins people who share the fascination with science into one bunch of a family. Scroll down for the most interesting posts shared on the group!

What separates a prejudice or an assumption from a scientific fact is the hard evidence. Scientific evidence is evidence that serves to either support or counter a scientific theory or hypothesis, although scientists also use evidence in other ways, such as when applying theories to practical problems.
Scientific evidence is information gathered from scientific research, which takes a lot of time (and patience!) to conduct. But there are a few things that all this research needs to have in common to make it possible for decision-makers, and ultimately all of us, to accept it as “evidence”.There are some criteria we want scientific evidence to fit into. First, it has to be objective and unbiased, which may be a hard thing to do keeping in mind that the majority of researchers constantly apply for funds.
Lol any one seen the video German always works lol this guy calls cats in all languages then says says it in German and the cats notice lol

Scotland's way works! I said it to my cats and they both turned to look at me, lol!
My dad always said "here kitty kitty meow meow" his cat's name was meow cuz that the only name she would respond to.
When we had a cat we used to call her by saying "here puss puss puss!"
Which one? Glaswegian? Hawick? Edinburgh? Inverness? Peebles? Galashiels? Loch Ness? Probably glaswegian but still there is about 20 lol

Don’t forget to hold out your hand and rub your thumb, pointer, and index finger together while making the noise! It accomplishes nothing toward getting the cat to come to you but is still an important part of the process. And yet, any given cat universally ignores pspspskiskiskisksksks but takes great pride in being summoned the Scottish way while still managing to proudly ignore the request!
More like mfwm mfwm mfwm. I make kissing/ hissing sounds. Got some funny looks from guys in Italy as a teen. I wasn't hissing at you. Come here pussycat. Lol also poes poes poes poes poes. https://youtu.be/0P-4-uE5YhM
I have two Scottish voices that I hear stuff like this in. Sean Connery and Groundskeeper Willie. This is Willie.
Well I hate to be the bearer of bad tidings but pspspsps is inferior to keekeekeekee. Keekeekee will get you confused for a witch because cats will appear when you didn't even know they were there.
That's it then, it's Keekeekee from now on for more kitties to come :)

South Africa in Afrikaans the dimunitive of a kitten is "kietsie. " So just call "kietsiekietsiekietsie" nearly like ktsk-ktsk-ktsk
Not sure if it's a regional thing (I live in New Zealand), but my mother and I always say, "Puss puss! [Cat's name]!"
I was practicing all the sounds and my sleeping cat woke up to see what I was talking about😾😂😅
I say kichi kichi kichi in Polish and miez miez miez in German. Don't know if this is normal in the whole of either country.
Yes, I know miez miez miez (Miez, or Miezekatze, is German slang for Katze ( cat)

Everyone I know all used, "Here kitty kitty." All I ever said for our cats was, "Come here " and for strange cats, "Come here cat." Worked okay for me. Maybe the tone of my voice? Of course I can always make them run away quickly with "Get out of here you #$&@ *@&$%#g cat!" That works ALL the time. lol
Thank you Skuland for speaking the same language as the NE of Ireland.
When young I was told that cats have an easier time hearing the letter s, or that they react to it more. So I will always have an s in any cats name, unless they were named differently before of course.
As someone who is born and raised in Scotland, I can agree. This is true.
I had never heard anyone say that until my husband several years ago. I'd only heard people call cats with a couple different tongue clicks or other noises.
We taught my little budgie to say "here kitty, kitty, here kitty, kitty!"
I always make kissy noises, I don't know why but it does seem to get their attention
I tend to shout their name and whistle loudly after, then rinse and repeat a few times. Generally has them galloping home at top speed if they've a mind for it. 😅
According to Manu Saunders, a researcher and PhD candidate from Charles Sturt University, mostly, funds are distributed fairly. “But if an organization funds a research project that will benefit them financially, then we cannot accept the findings as 'evidence' unless different researchers (from unrelated organizations) come to the same conclusions through their own independent research.”
Moreover, since scientific evidence relies on data, it’s vital for researchers to ensure that the data they collect is representative of the “true” situation. Saunders argues that it means researchers have to use proven or appropriate ways of collecting and analyzing the data and ensuring the research is conducted ethically and safely.
Wow someone has actually done this. Are we sure they aren’t super villains?
Peer review and professional consensus is the most crucial step since it turns research into the “evidence” that we all talk about and rely on. “The researcher has to present their data, results and conclusions in the form of a scientific report or paper. This must be reviewed by their scientific peers – only they are qualified to assess the validity of the methods and the accuracy of the conclusions the researcher has drawn from the results,” Saunders explains.
It’s also very important to note that most scientific facts reach us though media and press, politics and opinion makers. Oftentimes, we don’t have the opportunity, time nor want to spend effort checking facts for ourselves.
Saunders argues that it’s a good idea to check if “scientific evidence” backs up its case by asking a couple of questions: “Who funded the research and why? How much evidence is there and how was it gathered? Was the sample size or location representative of the 'real' situation?”
Yes in the dark recesses of her mind she’ll always remember that grown man who was sobbing on the floor in a dinosaur costume
German engagement ring from the 16th century; It was designed to turn into small astronomical map with a sentence: "The whole universe is in your hands."
It’s not an engagement ring, though. It’s an astronomy tool. It’s an armillary sphere. And it’s a replica that is quite widely available for sale. There are some in museums, from as far back as the 16th century, but most have biblical Latin phrases written on them. They were a status symbol, worn by men to indicate how knowledgeable they were. But you CAN buy one. Either a less expensive sterling silver model or an expensive solid gold model. Just search for “armillary sphere rings.”
Yes, Curiosity and Perseverance really do matter since they are on Mars! 😂
And then there's Bonnie Tyler 🙂 .. quick edit to say how proud I am of you all for the comments, you made my day :D
Where's the photo of the guy taking the photo of the guy taking the photo?
It doesn't need physical contact to influence and preys on ones desires. Sam's desires were enirely wholesome. He wanted to help Frodo to get rid of the thing. He didn't want to do the deed himself, he wanted to help, so he could give up the ring voluntarily after carrying it. (Simplyfied explanation!)
Also from the Cleveland Museum of Natural History. There are several of these cheeseburgers hidden among the exhibits.
I seem to have lost the caption, but instead of revealing what it was I’ll make it a fun competition: bring it on, pandas!
Wrong article buddy - I don't even know what it article it would go on either-

Oh, so Australia became the new America when they lost old one. Huh. Never thought about it that way.
Yes I remember being a kid in the 70’s and we didn’t know sunscreen was a thing. Only occasionally got a good burn. As a teen we put baby oil on to tan and I’m whitey white Canadian of Scottish/English ancestry. Now I have to be careful what time of the day I’m outside and be as covered up as possible. I was out boating/kayaking the other day and I put on layers of sunscreen.
Yeah, we still have an ozone layer. The hole was predicted by scientists due to the cold temperatures preventing ozone formation. As soon as they found R-12 refrigerant, the environmentalists quickly jumped to ban that substance (coincidentally the patent was up, too) and blame the hole on hairspray and air conditioners. Total nonsense. Sun exposure combined with a healthy diet PREVENTS deadly melanoma along with a slew of other cancers and diseases that plague first world office dwellers.
Some of these are great, but wow there's a lot that have nothing to do with science memes.
