  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, but keep it in good faith and never punch down.

Does this publication really look like 4chan

I thought this was a greentext at first

[–] Chakravanti@monero.town 2 points 2 months ago

Def copypasta.

looks like it has the same pink background but the text isn't green...

edit: I just noticed that link I found is "AVMA", not "AJVR", so I'm not sure...

[–] nautevenkidding@feddit.org 2 points 2 months ago

Your link (and the archive links on that site) literally also say AJVR, just not in the toplevel domain.

The colors here made it look like a greentext at first

Is "Cool Vape Cat" a new meme now?

[–] affenlehrer@feddit.org 5 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

I don't know what this really is about but I've had a cat that had super inflamed teeth and couldn't eat solid food. Medication didn't help so he had to get them pulled which killed him. He was about 15 years old though.

My sister has a much younger cat with the same disease. Got her teeth pulled as well but survived and seems happy now.

Do you inject medical typos in your car too?

[–] affenlehrer@feddit.org 2 points 2 months ago

Yes, it's called direct typo injection.

I am pretty sure they made all the words in the green text up. They're not real. They just used a bunch of fancy-sounding mumbo-jumbo to justify taking a picture of a cat with sunglasses on.

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 2 points 2 months ago

No they're all real and I don't like that I understand them but I do appreciate living in a timeline where it results in a cat wearing sunglasses

There's got to be some benefit to this weasel cursed existence

[–] altphoto@lemmy.today 3 points 2 months ago

I rather brush his remaining teeth and have a unique cat LOL.... Sonicare for cats! And have him swish with hydrogen peroxide.... C'mon! Swish you! Swish!

I can picture it already!... Why won't this cat swish!

How cute! I hope this helps a lot of kitties, poor babies. So many kitties have a lot of oral health trouble: pain, discomfort, trouble eating, even losing teeth. And they don't know why. It breaks my heart.

(I'm also wondering if this is a thing for humans with shit genes like me*... not that I could ever afford it lol)

*Edit in case anyone else is curious: It appears that it is indeed a thing available for humans as well. Neat!

For one of my cats you would need barbed wire gloves to hold her instead of those flimsy ones.
