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

This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.
That's litterally exactly what I said.
It's not though.
It's a common misconception but there are a few issues with "didn't cause the famine" for me:
So the British did cause the actual famine in it's entirety and the deliberate lack of relief was seen as an act of God / retribution to reduce the population here (which they 100% left to starve, with some kind landlord exceptions).
It's why the Irish don't call it "The Famine" any more. It's "the great hunger" here because there wouldn't have been a famine at all if we'd just been left the fuck alone to grow a variety of crops instead of being raped and pillaged for hundreds of years.
That's a very good point and a distinction well worth making, thank you.
No worries :) I appreciate the back and forth.
