    Gyroelongation sounds like a disease of a body part I don’t even have.

      It’s called helicoptering and it’s a sacred dance!

      Is it? What financial value does this generate for the world economy? How can this be marketed?

      Think before you speak.

        I want to be clear, I enjoyed this sarcastically.

        Unlikely that you were serious.

        Damn it! I didn’t think about the stakeholders!

        Although, with a lot of care, you could put a ribeye on this thing… does that count?

          *starts scribbling in idea pad furiously under the table, whilst maintaining a blank and even composure*

          No, that does not sound like a good idea. I would advise not telling anyone else about this.

      Because the golden ratio is a rune, so magic.

    I did know this! I used this trick to model dodecahedrons and icosahedrons when I was really into making custom rubik’s style twisty puzzles

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.
