    I feel this so much in the film Happy Feet. Seals are cute. But in Happy Feet, they’re beady-eyed bloodthirsty monsters.

      You should look up walruses and penguins.

          They also have a violent relationship… Not for the faint of heart.

            I thought walruses were arctic and penguins antarctic. I wasn’t able to get much with a search engine. Would you mind sharing a link?

              I was wrong. It was seals still.

              And there’s this gem if you hate seals now.

                Okay, yeah. That tracks. I once saw a video in which an orca tortured a sea lion and then launched it 80ft into the air just for fun. Members of Delphinidae are usually absolute dicks.

                Edit: Found the video. Don’t watch it, though.

  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.
