    pretending that generation didn’t hobble science for anti-intellectual cultists is just bullshit

    what happened to stem cell research in the USA exactly?

        Lo, I remember mine father watching him announce it on cable news while I wisely played Tekken on ps1 instead

        it sucked, my dad explained all the medical research that was going to be impacted

        i mained Jack as was the style of the time

          Meanwhile, my parent gleefully explained that they were writing AN EMAIL to the PRESIDENT HIMSELF using my disease to assuage their feelings as they demanded he not let stem cell research happen. That’s a level of mental fuckery I could be happy about disappearing.

      We lost about a decade of research because of that bullshit. At least.

Rules

  1. Don’t throw mud. Behave like an intellectual and remember the human.
  2. Keep it rooted (on topic).
  3. No spam.
  4. Infographics welcome, get schooled.


If you are here asking: “Is this a science meme?”

Probably, yes. We use the Dawkins definition of meme: a replicating idea, not just an image macro with a fact on it. A good post here doesn’t need to teach you something. It needs to make you ask something: who, what, where, when, and especially why or how.

Science isn’t a filing cabinet of facts, it’s a conversation. For example, a photo of an eel or other localized wildlife counts because most people never see one, and wonder is the first step of inquiry. A car meme counts if it makes you curious about what’s under the bonnet. If you want to talk about something you noticed in the world, chances are someone else wants to talk about it too.

We moderate for vibe, not category. Pruning is light, especially where a post creates interesting discussion. Experimenting is encouraged.

See the pinned paper on Shitposting as Public Pedagogy if you want the academic case for why this works.
