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.

Looks like 0100 rocks to me

That's not 64 rocks

Edit: In C any number that starts with 0 is implicitly interpreted as an octal.

int i = 0100; // this is octal 100 i.e. 64

I can tell from the upovotes vs. downvotes that I'm too old
