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.
My orthodontist kept pushing back the date for removing my braces, saying "Next month" at each visit. I got tired of waiting so just grabbed my dad's needle nose pliers and took them off myself. Yes, I got in trouble.

My dental tech husband just scoffed and sucked all the humor out of this. He says braces are easy to take off… something about grabbing something something and twisting… Yeah, he’s a killjoy.
That would be the ending! Some a*****e dental tech would say that sentence while walking up to the person and doing it. Then the screen fades to black.

As as orthodontist assistant, they are so super easy to take off. If you have pliers ever better. I could probably take them out with the simplest tools they have. I loved doing it, favorite part of job because I get to see them first when they see how they look when off. Especially if it was a hard case and to see the transformation to an even more beautiful swan. Male or female. My daughter finally getting hers off after over 5 years right before Christmas. She needed a lot of work. 12 extractions at once and needed surgery to bring down her central teeth. So excited to see!
Not true, all you need is tiny pointy scissors, ang needle nose pliers and they pop right off, I was 17 and overhear my mom and the orthodontist talking about breaking my jaw and rewiring it to fix a slight overbite and I ate fine and like the way I looked, never went back, hopped a ship to Alaska and removed the braces myself a year later
Ha! However, my kid tore his own braces off in protest as teen. I'll let him write it 🤦♀️
Stephen King's (post?)apocalyptic novel "Cell" has a chapter discussing how much "maintenance" we don't usually remember to be part of civilization. Diabetes, glasses, pacemaker bateries...
Why is it when Disney want you to hate a child character they always put braces on their teeth? Remember Sid from Toy Story?
"The only remaining orthodontist was kidnapped by a vicious gang of hooligans who just so happened to worship an undetonated bomb. Their ultimate goal is to help their "God" achieve fruition by detonation. Said bomb is still remotely linked to others. If it goes, so do they."
Ok... Start with 'Kid' arguing with Mom about even needing braces with Mom's reply along the lines of ... think about your future... (Kid has some seriously messed up teeth) Go through the months of tightenings... then the day to get them removed finally arrives... That's when apocalypse happens. ... Insert drama here... ... Somehow... the braces AND the straightened teeth are required to save the planet

Or, you'll do like my brother did with his cast and just do it yourself (he used bolt cutters and a Dremel, not a saw).
Even worse having your jaw wired shut. Time for a dry erase board lol.
My kid could have them off in 10 minutes. Swear she could pop a bracket walking out of the office
I feel like 'Brace Yourself' would be a better title. Just because 'Brace for It' isn't commonly said. I would continually annoy myself by reading 'Brace for It' and immediately correcting it to 'Wait for It' in my head every. single. time.
I mean Id just use a pair of diagonal cutters to cut the wires at least. The last thing you need is extra pain from something avoidable while you are are trying to survive
Actually all you have to do is take wire out from back super easy and then you take pliers and take the brackets off each teeth one by one. Done.

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.
