Uncle, how do I delete someone else’s meme?

Land_Strider, to science_memes in What does it mean??

Nobody, to science_memes in Nothing to see here. Nope.

I dated a girl in college who did bioanal.

Tankiedesantski, to science_memes in We don't judge here. :)

I’m sure you didn’t mean it, but given the dearth of women in engineering, there’s an interpretation of this meme that’s kinda sexist.

I’m literally a woman in STEM lmao.

Tankiedesantski,

Like I said, I don’t think you meant it.

Independent of who you are the meme could be read in a certain way.

  1. You could replace either character and the meme would still work. Sometimes, things are just a joke.
  2. I’m not responsible for bigots who misinterpret things based on their own biases.
  3. Woke scolding only divides people who should be allies instead of addressing those who are the problem (see 2).

  1. Yes you are! This is the internet! Stop being nice and start hating people!!

No! I refuse! Take my silly memes and have a good night, you beautiful bastard!

Tankiedesantski,

If 1) is true then taking a stand on 2) and 3) is pointless at best and callous at worst.

Like you said, the joke works equally well with the genders reversed to remove the possibility of misinterpretation.

I understand, however, I feel that the critique of this meme is an overreach and, frankly, misdirected. By focusing on this as a problem, we risk diverting attention from the real, substantive issues that need our energy and advocacy. It’s important to pick our battles wisely and concentrate on fighting blatant sexism and inequality, rather than reading into harmless humor. We do a disservice to the cause by attacking allies over perceived slights that, in reality, are neutral and unrelated to the broader struggles women face in STEM. Regardless of who is in this meme, it does not effect my position as a woman in STEM in any way.

Tankiedesantski,

I’m not trying to attack you or anything. I’m not calling you a sexist and throughout this whole interaction I’ve given you maximal benefit of the doubt about your intentions.

All I wanted to do is point out that this meme could be read to have an unintended negative meaning, a point which I don’t think you’ve even disagreed with.

If a big part of why this meme is okay to you is the fact that you’re a woman in STEM them at least men should be aware that it might be interpreted differently if they share it or spread it around. It is, after all, a meme.

If you think this doesn’t exist then you haven’t spent enough time differentiating Marxism from liberal identity politics.

so glad you were here to explain to me the error of my ways, whatever would i do without your enlightened understanding of marxism🙄

if you think people complaining about “woke scolds” aren’t 99% conservatives then idk what to tell you dog, particularly in the context of “actually being concerned about social issues pushes people into reaction!”

milicent_bystandr,

That sounded darker when I misread your comment as

the death of women in engineering

Chemical, to science_memes in Hmmm... pungent, weakly aromatic!

On another note, now I want some spaghetti

Why does the vinaigrette smell like a nail salon?

Thade780, to science_memes in Its diving speed during flight is more than 300 km (186 miles) per hour, making it not only the world’s fastest bird but also the world’s fastest animal.

Pretty sure my daughter runs faster when there’s a spider in her room.

My lab was a machine that turned tax dollars into computer models of things like viral propagation.

What’s wild is that what counts as “a lot of funding” differs by an order of magnitude between academic and commercial research.

Fermion, to science_memes in 🌰🌰🌰 Quercus Master Race 🌰🌰🌰

Title says Quercus, but emojis say Castanea.

PrincessLeiasCat, to science_memes in Listen, Susan. It's a valid theory, just look at the damn thing.

I’m obviously not getting this one lol

Decoy321,

No need to overthink a meme, but here’s my guess.

They’re correlating the shapes of the objects, implying some causation.

There isn’t.

PrincessLeiasCat,

Ahh okay, that makes more sense. Thanks!

lugal,

Just be happy that you don’t get it. There are flat earthers out there who will say it unironically. Not sure if it’s only flat earthers but I think so. It really is wild

Slovene,

Are you stumped?

PrincessLeiasCat,

You could say that my formations have been rocked.

moistclump, to science_memes in It's a sample. For my desk.

I thought lemmy was all about nice sticks. We moving on to rocks now?

moistclump,

Branching out.

nodimetotie,

Lemmy rocks!!!

First, you get a stick, then you get a rock.

Tie the rock to the stick, and you’ve got something!

moistclump,

A stick-rock!
