    I’m a geologist and will save you some googling: it probably looks like a very large phallic obiect forcing itself into one phat rock formation.

    Am geologist. No one I’ve ever worked with or been in a class with has cared. I didn’t think I’ve ever heard anyone even snicker. Although we’re in USA which spells it dike.

    I have seen a Gen X straight white man have to correct someone’s spelling and then stammer over explaining that spelling it ‘dyke’ has another meaning here but is the way it is spelled in Europe.

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.
