We all remember being a kid, lazily looking through that musky 'Science 101' textbook with glazed-over eyes. Well, we might have missed out on a lot of great content while we weren't paying attention in class, and I'm not talking about equations. Scrolling through the novelty Twitter account 'Science Diagrams That Look Like Shitposts' is a truly delightful experience. Since the beginning of the year, @scienceshitpost has been sharing hundreds of snapshots that capture the very bizarre but otherwise innocuous charts, graphs, and illustrations in textbooks. The awkwardly cropped and often blurry photos immediately take on a meme-like quality when removed from their original context and dropped into rapid online circulation. It's only a matter of time before the memelords transform some of these images into the hottest new format.

We've collected forty-three of our favorite accidental memes from @scienceshitpost. These hilarious treasures made us regret neglecting that outdated chemistry book!

Not a soul knows when schools will operate in-person again, so we thought we'd deliver you the next best thing to real education: educational memes. Okay, so admittedly they won't come anywhere close to the school experience, but at least they're more entertaining than school? Sure, we'll go with that.

We share a lot of memes on this site, and while some of them tackle philosophy, literature and art, there's not much representation of the right brain. These science memes are intended to change that. They feature a healthy mix of very basic science references and shitposts, and some more intense material for the smart and driven people who were in STEM classes. They're no substitute for actually studying these big-brained subjects, but they might make you feel smarter.

We brought you some physics memes earlier, and now we've got some content for the marine scientists - fish and sharks and morays galore! And in case you missed said physics memes, check 'em out here!

These memes are for college physics majors, professional physicists, or anyone who just enjoys learning about physics. If there's one thing we know, it's that we're not really smart enough to understand this stuff. Want some generic science memes? eBaum's World's got 'em.

Lo and behold, we found some cringey flat-earth memes in the wild for you to facepalm at! It's like Christmas! And yes, these people are being completely serious in case you were wondering. 

If you're feeling up to temporarily losing faith in humanity, you can always visit the official Flat Earth Society website, or #FlatEarth on Instagram. Don't say we didn't warn you of the impending cringe.

Summer's about to be over and the United States is still struggling to control the coronavirus pandemic. While some states seem to be improving (some after a dismal first wave), California, Texas, and Florida are seeing dismal increases in both cases and deaths. As all the mask-haters and conspiracy theorists butt heads with scientists and government officials, many of us are left to sit at home, job hunt, and dream of a day we can go to a bar with friends without risking our lives or the lives of someone else. We're also left to cope with corona-related memes like these. If we can't laugh at our situation, then we know we're really screwed.

Everyone loves cute animal memes, but today we decided to show the extinct animals some love. So whether you're a nerd for evolutionary biology, or you just thinks dinosaurs are cool as hell, we think you'll enjoy these memes as much as we do. Darwin would be proud. 

Check out this gallery of strictly dinosaur memes while you're at it!

According to our timelines, pretty much everyone is a medical expert or scientist these days. These "experts" throw around knowledge that is factually untrue and sometimes even downright dangerous. And it's extremely satisfying when these wannabe Einsteins get schooled by actual professionals on social media. This gallery is full of that delicious dunking. We hope these numbskulls learned their lessons and maybe even starting cracking some actual books.

Any science enthusiast will likely find some amusement out of these memes. Whether you're a field researcher, a college student, or just a layperson who likes to nerd out over this stuff, there's something in here for you. Now go check out some physics-specific memes if you want more nerdy material!

We're not going to even pretend to have physics knowledge beyond what we "learned" in high school. But we know some of you have bigger and more efficient brains than ours. These memes might appeal to you.

As reproductive rights are being stripped from women in Alabama and Missouri, many women are coming out to discuss their experiences with abortion and reproductive health. After reading this Twitter thread from @brownandbella, we are starting to think that we need to talk not only about the right to choose, but about the state of sexual education in the United States. These astounding shows of ignorance are definitely proof that something needs to change. We might be chuckling at some of these tweets, but reality of it all is pretty frickin' dark.
