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.

  3. No spam.
  4. Infographics welcome, get schooled.

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

Nobody said that the act of eating birdseed was the thing that makes the ducks birds.

JavaScript devs learning python: is this duck typing?

[–] marcos@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Yes.

if 'is_eating_birdseed' in obj.__dir__() and obj.is_eating_birdseed:
    return 'Is duck!'

Hmm, squirrels are weirdly shaped ducks

[–] marcos@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

Well, temporarily.

[–] adry@piefed.social 4 points 1 week ago

I know... yet,

ducks eating birdseed were, in fact, birds.

[–] null@lemmy.nullspace.lol 2 points 1 week ago

Yeah but nobody also didn't explicitly not say it.
