GARBAGEOLOGY
(mander.xyz)
A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.
Rules
This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.
randomly choosing a random outgroup to collectively hate must be ironically funny sometimes(see: jokes about the fr*nch) Genuinely there is no other reason. sometimes people will create justifications/other explanations for it but really its just absurdist humor with a pinch of tribalism. edit: i should add though, usually this type of humor is meant to be ironic by most of its participants. the more i think about it, the more it seems this is more rude than funny.
Look we made a bunch of overblown jokes against the French for a while...
...then they got BASED organizing ferociously for their workers' rights...
...Then we stopped joking so much...
...and now they're not doing so hot again.
I think there's a causative effect here. Should the jokes continue in order to spur them to greatness once more, even if only out of spite?
