    Well, if you’re gonna go through all that trouble, don’t unveil the world’s most useless fucking sign. They deserve to be a meme.

      Yeah… a message of peace? Super lame.

      Don’t they know promoting hatred and violence is what all the cool kids are into now?

        And what impact do you think that had? Real impact. Nothing? Is that what you guessed? Because you’re right!

          What impact do messages of hatred towards your enemies have?

            What impact have messages of “love vs power” ever had on society?

            I think… none.

              Again, what impact do messages of hatred towards your enemies have?

              It’s possible flying a banner on a big building won’t have any impact no matter what message you put on it. Do you really think people would change their view on any issue because of a slogan on a flag?

          Right?!

          They should post stupid stuff online for fun instead! That makes a real difference!

            Well they started a meme. So I guess that’s something.

      The vapidness of the original message is what makes the memes work.

      I do wonder what kind of sign would be ‘useful’, though.

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.
