Science Memes
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
- Don't throw mud. Behave like an intellectual and remember the human.
- Keep it rooted (on topic).
- No spam.
- Infographics welcome, get schooled.
This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.

Pyanodons specifically, what with all the loops and inexplicable animals in the production line.
The sharknado guard dissolves the sharknado by guiding the flying sharks into the inner screw structure, forcing them down and safely into the sea. A few perfectly placed sharknado guards can reduce a small to medium sharknado to a normal shark-less sub EF3 tornado, saving many lives in the process.
Salmon concentrator
Anti-Jesus fish uncertainty centrifuge.
Your boss's takehome; your takehome
the fish multiplier
EDIT: id like to correct my catastrophic misunderstanding of the above structure, as this is, in fact, a fish divider
Your original name was fine. The multiplier is one-sixth.
I posit that it is infact a fish compressor. We have 6 entering the system on the left, based on the direction of the arrows. And a Fish Concentrate leaves.
Possibly a synchronised fish compositor.

The all new Fish++ turns six backwards fish into just ONE, which is just so, so fishy.
With the machine completed, the messiah had automated his primary task and was thus terminated for redundancy.

The mechanical donut spline path calculator knows where it is at all times. It knows this because it knows where it isn't. By subtracting where it is from where it isn't, or where it isn't from where it is (whichever is greater), it obtains a difference, or deviation. The spline path calculator uses deviations to generate corrective commands to direct the spline path of the mechanical donut from a position where it is to a position where it isn't, and arriving at a position where it wasn't, it now is. Consequently, the position where it is, is now the position that it wasn't, and it follows that the position that it was, is now the position that it isn't.
Fishies get sucked into the tall centrifuge tower, tail-first, then after processing, only one fish will be the fortunate one to be released back into the wild.
This device converts the data stream from a parallel format to a serial format. Fish swimming in the data stream enter simultaneously, but emerge one by one, both in little-endian notation.
Ah yes Fish SerDes
You kids these days with your fancy dancy fishy go rounds. When I was a kid all we had was the wobbly wheel of death. All but 1 of the fish would climb on, and then that 1 fish would start pushing with all their might and then jump on. Then the other fish would eventually lose their grip and flung fuck off.
Goldfish crackers extraction.
Chris Cross Crash. But with fish and in reverse. 5 fish go in but only a lucky one will come out.
It's the large haddock collider.
Simply insert up to six salmon and wait! The fish are sequentially collided at 25 mph, reulting in one ultra-dense salmon, dispensed ass-first.
If they run it in reverse it splits a dense salmon into many smaller salmon in a process called fisshion.
It makes me sad to know I will never come up with a quip this clever.
Same, it makes me feel my life is so unworthy.
Holy fuck that's good.
I'm more confused about the fact that the salmon go in backwards
Once inside, they instinctively swim against the strong current of water rushing downward. That means they end up moving backward down the spiral, eventually getting pushed out the bottom of the helix into the river.
This method has lead to better survival rates than when the fish were spilled over the top of the dam.
I guess they try to escape the current
I dont know, the video was too long
Six fish enter! One fish leaves!
Proposed design for the Salmon Combiner Turbine.
Salmon Multiplexer
The Fish Cannon 2000 is a hydraulically, electrically, or pneumatically driven, six-barrel, water-cooled, electrically fired Gatling-style rotary cannon which fires fish caliber fish at an extremely high rate (typically 6,000 rounds per minute). The FC2k and its derivatives have been the principal cannon armament of United Fish States military fixed-wing aircraft for over forty years, as of the turn of century.
Each of the cannon's six barrels fires once in turn during each revolution of the barrel cluster. The multiple barrels provide both a very high rate of fire—around 100 fish per second—and contribute to prolonged weapon life by minimizing barrel erosion and heat generation. The average time between jams or failures is in excess of 10,000 fish, making it an extremely reliable weapon.
