    I watched My Octopus Teacher with my partner last night and we both cried. It sounds like an anime title, but it’s an INCREDIBLE documentary.

      A great reminder to please not eat octopus, even if you eat meat in general. They’re so intelligent.

    I’m curious…

    What makes you think they haven’t?

    Reminds me of the cuddlemen from the YouTube All Tomorrows project.

    It saunters up to the tiki bar, sunglasses slightly askew, as it holds up a sand dollar with one tentacle while another is waving, beckoning

      I know this is a tongue-in-cheek comment, but octopuses is generally preferred: https://oceanconservancy.org/blog/2022/02/01/plural-octopus/

Rules

  1. Don’t throw mud. Behave like an intellectual and remember the human.
  2. Keep it rooted (on topic).
  3. No spam.
  4. Infographics welcome, get schooled.


If you are here asking: “Is this a science meme?”

Probably, yes. We use the Dawkins definition of meme: a replicating idea, not just an image macro with a fact on it. A good post here doesn’t need to teach you something. It needs to make you ask something: who, what, where, when, and especially why or how.

Science isn’t a filing cabinet of facts, it’s a conversation. For example, a photo of an eel or other localized wildlife counts because most people never see one, and wonder is the first step of inquiry. A car meme counts if it makes you curious about what’s under the bonnet. If you want to talk about something you noticed in the world, chances are someone else wants to talk about it too.

We moderate for vibe, not category. Pruning is light, especially where a post creates interesting discussion. Experimenting is encouraged.

See the pinned paper on Shitposting as Public Pedagogy if you want the academic case for why this works.
