      A psilocybin laxative for cats would recreate what my robot vacuum did when my roommates cat shat on the rug while I was at work.

      That sounds like it would just end in a horrible time for cats and scientists.

    i was under the impression that the issue was caused by dehydration, not fiber insufficiency?

      My cat’s certainly was. Switching to wet food with extra water mixed in cleared it up nicely.

    It also helps (when combined with a tiny amount, like 1/64 tsp, of bone meal) with chronic diarrhea. I had a cat who was sick for a long time and his food needed both in order to firm up his stools enough to express his anal glands naturally.

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.


If you are here asking: “Is this a science meme?”

Probably, yes. We use the Dawkins definition of meme: a replicating idea, not just an image macro with a fact on it. A good post here doesn’t need to teach you something. It needs to make you ask something: who, what, where, when, and especially why or how.

Science isn’t a filing cabinet of facts, it’s a conversation. For example, a photo of an eel or other localized wildlife counts because most people never see one, and wonder is the first step of inquiry. A car meme counts if it makes you curious about what’s under the bonnet. If you want to talk about something you noticed in the world, chances are someone else wants to talk about it too.

We moderate for vibe, not category. Pruning is light, especially where a post creates interesting discussion. Experimenting is encouraged.

See the pinned paper on Shitposting as Public Pedagogy if you want the academic case for why this works.
