    Uh… I learned that when I was a kid thanks to a cartoon series that explained how the body works in a friendly manner for children. Did you really need to get to the college to learn that kidneys filter your blood to produce the urine?

      filtering usually means removing the unwanted particles, not the medium itself

      Was it the Jiminy Cricket series? I mostly remember the one about your ears, but there’s You And Your Food, The Living Machine, and also The Human Animal, one of those might have the kidneys

      I wonder what kids learn in schools in the USA, it seems they discover the most basic stuff in college. No mystery why Trump won the votes of masses of high school dropouts.

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, but keep it in good faith and never punch down.
