Thank God this meme was muted. I had my volume on max and that mouse would have blown out my eardrums.

But seriously, please just spend the 10 seconds it takes to reverse image search and find a better copy, or ideally the original so you can link to the creator's post.

I hate that the AI slop that copied this style is ruining my ability to enjoy the original

You can tell this is accurate because there are no brown people involved.

Nah, top left is totally one of them hardcore STEM ladies from Uruguay

I find the unbalanced microfuge triggering.

[–] NorthernDreams@lemmy.world 7 points 6 hours ago

Perfectly balanced, as all things should be.

I got this vibe from fridge. One of the reasons I often put some frozen hornets in those, no packaging. Deters people from doing stupid things.

This is the first thing I saw. I'm so triggered. I have a broken centerfuge lid on my desk rn that unbalanced everything for years. I think I'm going to keep it to remind me that "this too shall pass."

This would make a great sequel to Bully

all you had to do was follow the god-damn experimental design, CJ

Who's the bigger villain: Trump or Reviewer #2?

[–] rustydrd@sh.itjust.works 3 points 4 hours ago

Reviewer 2 didn't read my paper and makes it my problem. Trump didn't read a book in his life and makes it the world's problem.

Parafilm representation! I love that stuff. I totally, absolutely didn't used to completely mummify samples we sent away to the miserable dicks at our sister lab...

[–] SoleInvictus@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 7 hours ago

I just love the feeling of when it stretches.

[–] Kyle_The_G@lemmy.world 4 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

I love the stuff. There are so many tools I use that I'd love at home, parafilm is one of them. The other is a hot plate/magnetic stir bar I'd use for soup/cooking.

[–] alzymologist@sopuli.xyz 2 points 6 hours ago

They are awful for cooking, believe me, I have a home lab.

Induction hobs are great for lab though, except for glass vessels, of course.

So we're normalising AI-made memes now,eh?

I guess we now know what the AI has been trained on

[–] villainy@lemmy.world 20 points 9 hours ago

How have you determined that this is AI? The proliferation of actual AI slop is bad enough without people out here claiming everything is slop.

I'm just here for a laugh, dont care how its made but this is probably not AI (website and insta with previous drawings, and the only detector I trust says not AI). Shame to see you spread hate and then hit an actual artist with it.
