    That’s dedication

    Homie shit in their front yard, then settled down behind their camera watching it long enough for a butterfly to flutter by and land on their butt chocolate

    This is why I rarely pick up my dogs shit.

    Tap for spoiler

    Live on a farm in bumfuck, nowhere. No one is stepping in it. If I’m anywhere else, I always pick it up.

    Did you ever wondered why you had diarrhea? Maybe intestinal parasites? It was because Bart was right: nobody ever suspects it was the butterfly.

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.
