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.
Never knew about that story, but I do have a somewhat tangential one about dolphin handjobs.
Teenage me and my friend are out back in the woods smoking weed out of a can or pringles bong or some other stupid contraption a 16/17 year old would assemble. A thought occurred to me, and it didn’t seem strange at the time to me. After a bit of quietness sitting around getting baked in the woods, I broke the silence with:
“Ever been to dolphinsex.org?”
My friend about pissed himself laughing, guess that URL was not an expected topic of discussion. This was peak early internet, find weird sites and discuss with your friends era for me. This question became a bit of a meme amongst our group.
Anyways, bless archive.org, looks like the website went defunct around 2005. You can still check it out, not really NSFW unless someone is reading over your shoulder. Web 1.0 was a crazy place to be as a teenager.

Holy shit I had to tap out. The casual, informed way they talk about fucking dolphins conveys how much time they must have actually spent fucking dolphins.
I always wondered if it was real when I was younger, but now having been on the internet a few decades longer, there’s not much doubt anymore.
Sheesh
Yeah strange times, but cool as hell
