Welcome to c/science_memes @ Mander.xyz!

A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.



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.

This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.

Even magic itself loses its magic when you know how it works.

Does it, really? Or is it "magic" all the way down...? :-D

As someone who was crazy about magic as a kid and learned a bunch of magic tricks, yes, it does. Really.

Oh yeah, for magic "tricks" that's fair:-).

You could still use it to cause squeals of delight from young'uns who don't know any better yet. So the utility is vastly diminished, but not entirely gone.
