The internet has done a lot of things, not least it’s proven that if something exists, it can be made into a meme. After all, if something exists, it can be perceived, and that comes with a whole host of relatable and often pretty funny observations.
The “Science Funnies Page” FB page is dedicated to hilarious memes and posts that are as funny as they are, sometimes, educational. So get comfortable as you scroll through, upvote your favorites and be sure to share your thoughts in the comments below.

Yeah, but have you seen swans in their non-cuddly phase? It isn't very pretty. Don't ask me to explain; I had a bad experience once.
YES! I get so annoyed when people say "kids aren't taught this in school" bc in most cases, we are, people just don't pay frigging attention
Did you say something? I was distracted.

Like, if you don't read medical journals, then you don't know what they're talking about in medicine. Don't read astronomy journals, same goes. History? Same. And guess what? That's absolutely okay. You don't have to be a part of every discussion, but that doesn't mean it's someone else's fault that you're ignorant about it.
My pupils have the situational awareness of a sloth. Plus, too lenient parents taught them to say everything that pops into their heads. They can't shut up. They interrupt everyone bc they think they're the most important.
"Olit sitte röökillä pyörävajan takana". Finnish for "you were having a smoke behind the bike shed".
You! Yes, You behind the bike sheds. Stand still laddy!

When I was teaching in a community college, a student who had missed a class (or two) would often come to me and say, "Did I miss anything yesterday?"
I cannot get my high schoolers to put a period at the end of a sentence or capitalize the first word. I know their elementary teachers taught them that.
When I graded essay tests (in my math classes), my students realized that capital letters were important. Capital letters like G, P, A, ...

First of all, it is taught, but in on of those non assessed classes easy to ignore. Secondly, the main skill is percentages - which is taught every year. Thirdly - and most importantly - they live in the UK, most of them will never need to know (and if you ever wanted to check, the info is right there on a pay slip and a 2 minute calculation if you get percentages is enough). Much like there are some Americans not realising the whole world is not the same, there are UK kids looking at the internet and not realising it doesn't apply to them.
School should *not* teach how to do taxes (even in the US). What the schools should teach is how to read, understand, think, and calculate. Then you just follow the published directions on how to file your taxes. As an added bonus you can use those skills to create a budget, or learn how to fix your dryer, or decide which loan is a better deal, or any of a million other things that you wouldn't know how to do it you were taught "how to do taxes". School is for learning the fundamental skills, application is your problem.

So true. 99% of kids in my schools were respectful (of themselves and others) but the 1% were the ones who dragged themselves (and others) down, then blamed the teachers on results day. However, this 1% were subsequently courteous when asking "do you want fries with that?" years later.
I used a bidet once with the coldest temperature by accident. Man, I hit the high notes for days.
Oh, deer. Good thing Santa staged that intervention before the bullying got out of hand.
Tell her to do another one, just to make sure.
That's not true - they gave credit on just about every image to the "Science Funnies Page" they scraped it from. Wonder where the science funnies got it?
