      So does your mom!

      Because of the mess you made, she has to vacuum everything for you, lazy bastard.

      Also because she has mass.

    People talked about this a lot when it first happened. This is over 7 years old now. Kinda old news.

      yeah, i think for people who even have a passing interest in science this was a pretty popular topic.

      Yeah, a couple of years ago.

      Does OP expect things to stay relevant for that long? In this economy?

    Don’t worry, some of us are keeping the astronomy spirit alive in the younger generation. There’s a 5 year old kid I work with who can name tons of celestial objects that my coworkers have never heard of. It makes for fun inside jokes/references. Sometimes when we’re with another person, he’ll compare our distances to each other and say, “You’re Alpha Centauri A, I’m Alpha Centauri B, and he/she’s Proxima Centauri.”

    Do you have proof humanity on earth was the first one to take a photograph?

    Also how does the black hole know? Did you send them a message? Is the message already there yet?

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.


If you are here asking: “Is this a science meme?”

Probably, yes. We use the Dawkins definition of meme: a replicating idea, not just an image macro with a fact on it. A good post here doesn’t need to teach you something. It needs to make you ask something: who, what, where, when, and especially why or how.

Science isn’t a filing cabinet of facts, it’s a conversation. For example, a photo of an eel or other localized wildlife counts because most people never see one, and wonder is the first step of inquiry. A car meme counts if it makes you curious about what’s under the bonnet. If you want to talk about something you noticed in the world, chances are someone else wants to talk about it too.

We moderate for vibe, not category. Pruning is light, especially where a post creates interesting discussion. Experimenting is encouraged.

See the pinned paper on Shitposting as Public Pedagogy if you want the academic case for why this works.
