We’d still be living in the dark ages if it weren’t for science. Albert Einstein, Marie Curie, Thomas Edison, Isaac Newton and so many other bright sparks paved the way to the world as we know it. While the stereotypical scientist is sometimes seen a lonely nerd in a lab coat, with hardly any friends and a lacklustre sense of humor, that’s as far from the truth as outer space.
Intellectual Science Memes is a cool corner of the internet where close to 11,000 science-loving followers come to collectively cackle at daily scientific memes and reels. "Follow if u are smart", reads the bio. But "smart" is relative. And as Einstein once said, "It's not that I'm so smart, it's just that I stay with problems longer.” Bored Panda has formulated a list of our favorite posts from the page, scientifically proven to make you laugh. Keep scrolling and let us know which ones left you in stitches.

The Science Council defines science as “the pursuit and application of knowledge and understanding of the natural and social world following a systematic methodology based on evidence.” And Nasa’s Space Place simplifies it to “curiosity in thoughtful action about the world and how it behaves.”
While scientists have been around for ages, the actual word "scientist" was only "invented" in 1833, by a British chap called William Whewell. Before then, there were philosophers and cultivators of science. It took Whewell a few tries before he settled on the word scientist.
"The first he considered was savant, or men of learning. But he dismissed that for both being presumptuous and French. He also considered the German term naturforscher, which is really naturalist. But he worried that some might make fun of that term, calling it nature-poker or nature-peeper," said Howard Markel, professor of the history of medicine at the University of Michigan, during an interview with NPR.

Fahrenheit originally made 100F human body temperature. He chose 0F as the coldest temperature he could consistently make at the time. A mixture of salt and natural ice. Refrigeration hadn't been invented yet. It's pretty messed up we still use it here and he was off by more than two degrees on the hot end but here we are.

Was thinking about hearing this joke, but with a cow, over 30 years ago. Where does the time go.

That's not very good logic. Virtually ever scientists on the planet believes humans have caused global climate change yet tons of idiots still deny it.

I remember when I was a lab assistant and the chemistry teacher asked me for ideas for experiments for the class. I came up with one that involved mixing two different compounds and then working out the percentages of each (from memory I think it involved titration but too long ago to remember exactly). Nothing wrong with the experiment per se but the margin for error was so small that even the slightest error in the process would result in ludicrous results. No wonder pretty much the whole class drew a blank.

You would think if someone is going to the trouble of making this meme that they would just check *every* word carefully first
