    Does generational mean anything specific in this meme or does it just mean huge? When did generational stop meaning pertaining to a generation?

        It occurs to me that that joke doesn’t work as well as it used to since newspapers are much less widely read now.

            Their body is smaller but a newborn zebra foal’s legs are almost as long as an adult’s. This is to help them keep up and also to make it harder to spot them among the herd, as lions tend to target the young and infirm.

  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.
