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.

I hate that the AI slop that copied this style is ruining my ability to enjoy the original

Thank God this meme was muted. I had my volume on max and that mouse would have blown out my eardrums.

But seriously, please just spend the 10 seconds it takes to reverse image search and find a better copy, or ideally the original so you can link to the creator's post.

I find the unbalanced microfuge triggering.

Perfectly balanced, as all things should be.

This is the first thing I saw. I'm so triggered. I have a broken centerfuge lid on my desk rn that unbalanced everything for years. I think I'm going to keep it to remind me that "this too shall pass."

I got this vibe from fridge. One of the reasons I often put some frozen hornets in those, no packaging. Deters people from doing stupid things.

You can tell this is accurate because there are no brown people involved.

Who's the bigger villain: Trump or Reviewer #2?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago

Reviewer 2 didn't read my paper and makes it my problem. Trump didn't read a book in his life and makes it the world's problem.

Parafilm representation! I love that stuff. I totally, absolutely didn't used to completely mummify samples we sent away to the miserable dicks at our sister lab...

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I love the stuff. There are so many tools I use that I'd love at home, parafilm is one of them. The other is a hot plate/magnetic stir bar I'd use for soup/cooking.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

They are awful for cooking, believe me, I have a home lab.

Induction hobs are great for lab though, except for glass vessels, of course.

I just love the feeling of when it stretches.

This would make a great sequel to Bully
