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.

You think these guys care about logic?

OP post is faulty logic, though.

And before that, it was all kinds of slurs I shouldn’t say. It’s been here forever, we’ve only developed empathy for it recently.

Nothing but to agree. But we are way past the point of facts. This fallacy implies just projection of your own competency onto morons who just dont care. Your enemy doesnt care.

Cancer existed before cigarettes. Therefore, using the 'meme's' argument: "anyone trying to tell you that cigarettes cause cancer is entirely full of crap”.

But we are way past the point of facts.

Clearly, since this 'meme' is using some real bad arguments to try to prove facts.
