If you glance at subjects like physics, chemistry, and even geography, they might seem boring. Just a bunch of numbers, equations, laws, and portraits of old men with crazy hairstyles and beards.
But if you take a deeper look, you will soon understand that there's plenty of room for entertainment. And the Facebook group "Science Humour" is an excellent example of that.
Its 440K members post, as the group's About section says, "the best science-related laughs, cartoons, puns, jokes, japes and antics," so we decided to put this bold claim to the test and put together a collection of pictures we found in this fun little corner of the internet and let you be the judge.

I use to live in a house that was an antique shop before I lived there. The owner had painted mouse holes with mice inside them ! Not as cool but I thought it was everything ! I was 8😂

If I found this I'll make my year! I'd invite people just to show it off.
Now every kid that sees this is gonna be prying.off electric panels thru the house 🤣
Or, more likely, they'll never find it. Makes you wonder how many of these are just waiting to be discovered in buildings everywhere.
Gonna get my screwdriver and unscrew all my outlets now!

tell you what... If I saw this at any given time I'd s**t myself silly, scream like a lily and turn my self into the nearest hospital ... And all the while whispering to myself out loud into my shirt I see tiny people stuff... !! Yep this is surely stuff of nightmares..! Well my nightmares anyhow... Heh..
The box in front has a logo on it but I can't figure it out. It should be Amazon but it's not blue. Is it a steers head? So I guess whoever lives in that little room is a meat eater. That would scare me. 😀
It's mamaon.co.jp If you scroll down here there's a closer shot of the box: https://www.designboom.com/art/mozu-studios-tiny-rooms-04-29-2020/

I'm more impressed with how clean your floor and baseboard are. Very nice. I like to keep it clean too lol.
Genius! I want one with a little mouse dressed like a scientist.
I bet this is gonna be a post by the next owner that will find this in the future.
Okay, I thought ai had done it during a renovation project here with each room having something different, like a light switch in a ceiling. But this takes the cake AND the icing. Where did you get this?
They are leaving. Whether new tenants move in. And they've been there forever so it's not like they would relocate for one family.
Meant to say not leaving. I just woke up. The gang living in my inner walls were having a party last night. I had too many thimbleful shots of tequila with salt particles last night.

YES! You have contributed to the mysterious collection of life's little treasures. Easter eggs of reality. What a concept!
And of course they will find it. The new tenant will try to fix the outlet that doesn't work.
I really don't want to meet him on April1 or Halloween, I am easily scared to pieces.
my sister just walked behind me, looked at my screen and said 'borrower' is she ok (i guess it's a tumblr g/t reference? idk)
The Borrowers is a very old book. It has had multiple film versions, animated and live action.

Sorry y'all, this is photoshopped :( that's a real office shopped to look small.
No. There is a video showing how the artist created this. It was not created by the person in this Twitter post though. https://www.designboom.com/art/mozu-studios-tiny-rooms-04-29-2020/

"In its earliest forms, humor likely evolved from panting and grunting that occurred during non-serious fighting or other forms of play, or during social 'down time' among our ancient primate ancestors," Robert wrote in Psychology Today.
"Although there was nobody there to document the events with their cell phone, or to upload the video to YouTube, we can extrapolate from similar sounds and behaviors observed among modern primates. Over time, these sounds likely evolved into more specialized vocal sounds that we might now recognize as early forms of laughter... Early hominids that could make those early laughter sounds, and those who had the mental capacity to distinguish between laughter and non-laughter sounds, likely benefitted from stronger bonds with other individuals within their group."
This plan was so bad, a global pandemic emerged solely to prevent any successful Titanic voyage.
"She is Mary Ann Bevan who was known as the "ugliest woman in the world" but when you know her life you'll call her the "most beautiful person in the world." Marry Ann suffered from acromegaly due to which she had abnormal growth nd facial distortion. After the death of her husband, with no breadwinner in the house, accumulating debts and financial needs of her 4 children she decided to enter the humiliating contest and won the offensive title of "ugliest woman in the world" later she was hired by a circus, toured different cities where people came to laugh nd humiliate her. She endured the ridicule of others in order to raise her children nd give them a better quality of life. She died in 1933.
To this day, society judges people on their physical appearance, if our eyes could see souls instead of bodies, Mary Ann would have been the most beautiful woman in the world. "
Robert suggests thinking of it like this: 'funny' primates or early hominids were those who could make sounds that communicated the message, 'We're safe and happy now: Everybody relax and pick some bugs off each other. Eat them if you're hungry.'
"They could also identify those sounds when others in their social group made them, taking the context into account, and could respond appropriately," he explained. "'Non-funny' primates didn't pick up on the signals. They would get angry with others who were only trying to play, and might lash out inappropriately—this is not a good strategy for making friends or finding mates."
In today's world, these are the people at work you 'accidentally' forget to invite to a colleagues night out.
"Similarly, primates who mistook danger vocalizations for play vocalizations were the ones who let their guard down, showed up in the clearing with their rubber chicken and Groucho glasses, and became lunch for a prowling saber-toothed tiger."
Becoming someone's lunch makes it exceedingly difficult to pass on your genes. But those who could make and identify laughter sounds in others were probably more likely to reproduce and pass on genes too. Which helped their offspring create and/or distinguish between play and not-play sounds.
"Those with mutations that allowed them to make even better sounds, and detect the meaning of those sounds, were even more likely to form strong bonds, survive, and pass on their genes, and so on," Robert added.
True story. When my grandpa was a teenager, he worked for a traveling fair. His boss was a total ass and frequently demanded my grandpa work extra hours without paying him. On the last day, my grandpa cleaned everything he was supposed to and helped break down and pack the equipment for moving. The boss was still a jerk. He threw my grandpa the keys to his truck and told him to do some more work, then park the boss's truck in the garage while boss and crew went to the bar. My grandpa did all the work himself. Pissed that the adults never returned, he took the truck to the slightly oversized garage. He parked it. Then, little by little, he worked on parallel parking it. He swears it took him nearly an hour, but he got the truck in the garage entirely horizontally. He never saw that boss again but says he would've paid good money to see his reaction the next morning.
That's cute and also a little terrifying, it really does just like a fuzzy black hole with eyes
When I was in high school my chemistry teacher's license plate was "hiho ag"
Fast forward a million years and humor has developed in the human species as something much more subtle.
"At its core, humor involves the ability to detect and to create incongruities," the psychologist said. "Among our ancient ancestors, the incongruity might have been between behavior that looked like fighting, but which was understood as non-serious or play behavior because it was accompanied by cues such as laugh-like sounds. But as our cognitive abilities have progressed, in parallel with language abilities, so too has our ability to create and appreciate more complex and sophisticated incongruities."
bones of human
Just as our ancient ancestors evolved to enjoy the simple play behaviors, early grunting-laughing sounds, and bonding that occurred throughout this process, we too still enjoy a good poop joke. Even though the humor that we appreciate tends to involve much more abstract and symbolic meaning than with physical play, the impact is no less real.
"You know if you know. Can't unheard it now."
For anyone who didn't understand it, *thump thump smack, thump thump smack, we will we will rock you*
"Humor as a form of play, even at higher levels of play with complex thoughts and ideas, is associated with positive emotions, and with positive feelings about individuals we are with when we experience that positive emotion," Robert said.
"As my colleague [Wilbanks] and I have noted elsewhere, humor, positive emotions, and stronger interpersonal bonds operate in mutually reinforcing spirals that stimulate the production of humor, and seeking out individuals with whom we can laugh and feel closer."
it also gives disappointment to those with a brain, we'd been hoping they'd die out
The interesting thing is that the highly abstract and symbolic nature of humor that we developed allows for many different forms of gags.
"Humor can build and destroy, strengthen and weaken, honor and besmirch, and perhaps all of these at the same time. This complexity is what makes it beautiful, and of interest to me, and I suspect to many other psychologists," Robert explained.
And as we can see from these pictures, they're not the only academics exploring the subject!
I don't make mistakes except for one time when I thought I had made a mistake - I was mistaken
The fact that the cannon sticks out the water remembers me to this old cartoons where the mean charakter has to flee a bee army and jumps in a pond, only breathing through a piece of straw... Funny.

I got some good laughs. Once again, the comments were way funnier than the original posts.
Careful not to let it happen too often, 7 days of it might make one week.

I love smart people jokes lol most o my friends would not understand…… o wel to bad for them they are missing out on a lot
