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.

Not sure where you are from but it already is. Check this out if you are here in the states. If not I don't know how to provide links that work for you. https://www.amazon.com/Protons-have-Mass-don%60t-catholic/dp/B07JMSBNGQ/
This goes pretty fucking hard even without the same image
Yeah pretty much honestly. The text maybe the same but image slightly different.
And pythons have garbage collectors.
i had to put my phone down to laugh at this. its so fucking stupid lol
I guess photons are atheists.
They just don't congregate.
Hum... wait... Something is wrong here.
I don't get it, could someone please explain this to me
Catholics attend Mass (church)
Oh, I didn't knew that is the translation. Thanks
Wait, I thought catholics hoarded cats.
A bit hard to write them down into a single message but here is the library that contains all cat names (up to 3200 characters)

"Call your momma proton cuz she got that mass"
Well, they are universal
What do protons do for comunnion?
they eat a portion of SU(3) and pretend it becomes the higgs field when they do so
The daddest of jokes
Anything smaller than an atom isn't real. Be serious.
Too busy staring at those special fingers.
