        Very few things have ever provoked cute aggression from me faster than these two silly pink circles.

      improve their genetic diversity by providing evolutionary pressure (industrial antiseptic face wash), and introducing to different population (rub your face against other people).

        Does this imply that everyone I’ve bumped uglies with is literally forever a part of me now?

      IIRC they actually like it when you wash your face; more of your natural skin oils for them to eat that isn’t tainted by unholy substances.

      Might just be making than up though. Thinking of a Demodex Skin Oil Priest rn.

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.
