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.
While this is funny and all, this isn't really true for a couple of reasons:
So this is one of those things that might feel true, but in reality it really isn't.
Well, now that we know what's out there, I think we should focus our efforts on putting a big sea monster into the ocean.
Too easy. We need to put a sea monster on the moon.
It's a ball full of sharp and toxic shards that get everywhere.
On the other hand, the ocean has immortal jellyfish and snail with iron armor.
It might be more accurate to say the average person knows more about what we don't know about the ocean than what we don't know about the moon.
We have a decent idea about what can and may exist in and about Earth's oceans, but less about the moon; and most people assume it's just a dusty rock too.
Everything outside of my immediate experience is densely packed squid atlanteans. (I feel like some people seem to genuinely think like this, which is distressing)
The blue planet 1 BBC documentary states that we know about the moons surface than ocean floor. The BBC's Blue Planet 2 changed that to: we know more about the surface of mars than we know about the ocean floor.
So make of that what you want.
