Welcome to c/science_memes @ Mander.xyz!

A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.



Rules

  1. Don't throw mud. Behave like an intellectual and remember the human.

  3. No spam.
  4. Infographics welcome, get schooled.

This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.

Technically, LD50 specifies a time of death within 2 weeks of the consumption. That is very relevant for some items on this list, but there you go. Also, Morton Tender Quick is 0.5% Sodium Nitrite so 1/22nd of a 2 lbs bag is enough to kill you and much faster and more reliably than 175 lbs of cured meat.
