Immune system: I'm not here to keep you alive. I'm here to kill infections.
and other things I deem dangerous even though they're not (allergies)
Oh no, a peanut, better close your airways!!
Oh shit, pollen? How about I fuck up your whole face.
THAT CAT HAS A GUN
Or things that keep you alive (organ transplants)
But you are a danger to yourself too.

Me: takes tylenol
Immune System:
The memers are in rare form in this thread.
The virus after you take Tylenol
My immune system this weekend: also, we have to eject everything from your body any way possible.
Me: …
My immune system: hope you didn’t eat spicy.
"You might die but that's a risk I'm will to take."
But you're ME!
"Sorry, I'm not the brain. I don't do the thinking"
99% of the time, a fever kills the bacteria then lowers. You'll be fine, go take a nap.
I look at this more like "you'll die before I do, you bastards!"
Ok, but I can't survive above 38.C for very long as well
I had a fever over 38 °C for a couple weeks once. It was fine, just hot.
You're still hot to me <3
also still fine
Still got a fever, too.
The way the text and image in this specific meme are utilized in the same context as the original source of the meme is refreshing. I feel like I see this meme template used in weird ways that kinda-work-but-not-really more than other templates.
Anyway, good quality well made meme, got me laugh
Agreed - I think part of the humour in a meme is fitting new situations into the format and when this is ignored (or done poorly) it misses the mark, kinda like as if you'd attempted a limerick but got the meter all wrong.
TIL the reason for high temperature
Most infections can survive the minor temperature rise. The more tangible reason is that the rise in temperature signals phagocytes that it's dinner time. Also it helps mobilizing white blood cells and increases the production of T-cells.
You can't survive an internal >42C.
You can a 38c.
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.
