    Interesting. Can we have have at least a tiny bit of info how this data came to be?

    Not just this one, but all the infographs, maps etc. Always leave entirely open if someone just guessed the data for the lulz.

    This makes me a litte sad sometimes

        So the map is more accurately titled “How American Twitter users refer…”

          “White american male twitter users”, according to the last paragraph

            I was wondering why a certain word wasn’t showing up…

              I could have not clicked that video. But I did. And I regret it.

        Thanks! I think it would be a great rule of thumb for lemmy to always include sauce and especially the sidefacts about the data that relativize it. (See other replies)

        Less shiny maybe, but more real :)

          Haha, I do quick dumps. Maybe when I have more time, but in the meantime you guys usually pull through digging around, and you usually find some extra cool stuff too. :)

            So basically you’re doing the “don’t ask, just say something on the Internet to issue a challenge” method of learning stuff?

              Sometimes, sometimes I am curious to know more too, sometimes I know things are right, sometimes I know they are wrong but it makes for good conversation… I pick from the meme firehose (feeds) ones I know will make for interesting threads. It is a vibe. It does not take me long to get the memes, so it is a fun passive thing. I do this for fun too. :) It is also why I insist that we use “meme” in the Dawkins sense (see sidebar).

              Sometimes its a fine line between infographs and memes. Sometimes it isn’t

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.
