It’s no secret that science has accelerated the progress of humanity. Without the curious minds that seek to explore our surroundings, we wouldn’t have the breakthroughs and discoveries that created the world we live in today. But while our fascination with biology, physics, chemistry, and other captivating fields shows no signs of fading, not every practice is worth celebrating.

Some scientific advancements shock us with their mysterious and uncanny nature. But if we take a deeper look, they can be plenty entertaining too! So let us introduce you to a Facebook group called 'The Darker Side Of Science.' This online community is all about discussing the lesser-known methods that may not sit so well today, and sharing some science-related laughs along the way. "Bad experiments, worse scientists, studies you wish to god you could unsee, and much, much more," the admins write in the description, providing space for the interestingly weird and equally hilarious.

Our science-loving team has gone through their feed and collected some of the geekiest memes and jokes to share with you all. Enjoy scrolling through this hilarious compilation and be sure to hit upvote on your favorite ones. Keep reading to also find our in-depth interview about our fascination with mysterious things with licensed clinical psychologist Dr. Jesse Matthews. And if you’re in the mood for some lighter scientific content, check out our previous publication filled with science memes right over here.

    I've always done the general maintenance and repairs on my own vehicles. Oil changes, new brakes, new water pump, starter, that type of stuff. But our cars were older and easier to work on, I still have my 1993 GMC truck for just THIS reason. We bought my wife a new car and I went to change the oil when it was time and literally had to look up on YouTube where the damn oil filter was. Spent 30 minutes under the car trying to find it. Ridiculous.
