Welcome to c/science_memes @ Mander.xyz!

A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.

Rules

  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.

This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.

...with video recording

So many questions.

[–] [email protected] 49 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Turns out it's real: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/rec.14139

The video recording shows animal behavior. Not the urination lol.

That's probably paywalled.

It isn’t

Dude got caught pissing too close to the campsite and swore it was for science.

[–] [email protected] 31 points 1 year ago (1 children)

At least it is open access

[–] [email protected] 27 points 1 year ago

It'd be unethical to gatekeep such important information.

What about feline urine? Since that could have some potential benefit since they’re known predators

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

They mentioned the availability and scalability of human urine over the urine of other animals.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

Feline urine has a relatively small effect compared to feline saliva or fur.

No... Don't eat the yellow acorn, mouse bro! 😩

No officer, I wasn't pissing on your car. I was doing a scientific experiment with field mice. Uhhh sure, I'll send you a link when I publish it

I was pissing on the acorn on your car.

Shots fired.

My question is (not having a link to follow to avoid wondering) is why acorns need protecting, and why from only that species?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

I see you've never owned a birdfeeder.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

And to think I almost proposed this research idea for my dissertation. Dodged a bullet there
