A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.
Rules
This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.

Cartoon of a professor in a classroom pointing at a blackboard saying "every single person who confuses correlation and causation ends up dying"
I found one study that found that 100% of people who breathe oxygen die, but I found another study that found that 100% of people who don't breathe oxygen die!
Technically not 100%, a modern study has shown that there are 8 billion people who breathe oxygen currently living!
I found a study where they were able to exclude those examples from the data set for various reasons. :P
Can't live with it, can't live without it.
_Oxygen
what is it about it?_
Science is a hoax confirmed
Oxygen kills, got it.
holy shit batman!
100% of gamblers quit right before they win
Every time!!
The trick is to find a partner while you're still alive. Screw those single persons!
Everyone who writes on a blackboard ends up dying
Yeah, I only use Post-it notes and I have never died.
AI generated images are getting more impressive.
Pretty sure Timo draws his own cartoons, what makes you believe it's AI?
If you zoom into the shading and into the professor’s face, you’ll see that the lineart is all wonky.
edit: I checked out his blog, he also has ai generated cartoons there, and his non-ai generated cartoons are more clean and vector-y
Looks pretty human to me ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Edit: Damn, well spotted! That is very impressive, though.
Wow these are pretty funny actually
Also the shmutz on that student's desk.
Is this that cel shading I've heard so much about?
Coincidence? I don't think so
Dang, it sucks that death somehow causes misunderstandings of empiricism
I need this on a shirt
Spooky
that's not even correlation
Agreed, the correlation between 2 random variables is undefined if one of the variables is actually a constant (the formula reduces to 0/0)
Every single person who does not confuse lives forever? Good.
so does everyone else
And that, my friends, is the joke
