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.

  4. Infographics welcome, get schooled.

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

Yeah. You know all those is movies and stuff where people sink in lava?

Nope. It's too dense. You'd be so buoyant you'd just stay on top.

I must not watch the right things, I don't recall ever seeing media of a person sinking in lava. The closest was the Terminator being immersed in molten metal, but he was probably more dense than the molten metal being made of room temperature metal

Gollum at the end of Lord of the Rings. Apart from that I'm not sure
