    the crew decided to record a parody of those bad 80s sitcom intros where everyone turns and smiles at the camera

    🎵 It takes a lot to make a stew 🎵

    Big honerable mention to the interview with Trump where they pretended to lose connection. (It’s not a coincidence they named the capsule Integrity)

    Turns out Mark Watney jokingly calling himself a space pirate¹, bragging about having colonised Mars, and the like, was one of the most realistic things in The Martian.

    1. In the book. In the film he never lost communication with Earth after reactivating Pathfinder, so he had permission to commandeer the Ares IV MAV, and it wasn’t an act of piracy.

    Well, you need to keep the spirit up somehow living in a 9 m3 module together for 10 days, I guess. Also yes, lots of respect for that!

    I’ve found that folks in high stress jobs often develop peculiar senses of humor. Also a lot of astronauts are ex-military and we also have some unique humor.

      Being difficult to amuse just means you’re a grumpy asshole though

        I have a trick if you need to learn again, but without too many details it’s basically solitary confinement combined with starvation until you get one week’s calories away from death. I’m sure there are better ways to change your mindset, like reading good books and thinking critically about them.

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, but keep it in good faith and never punch down.
