“Science Diagrams that Look Like S**tposts” Twitter page and the Facebook group which runs by the same name is a bizarre corner of the internet that collects illustrations so bizarre that it has earned a solid fanbase. The project has amassed 754.1K Twitter followers and 20,634 people on Facebook who like the page and come in for a daily weird and wonderful treat.
It makes you wonder whether the publishers of these textbooks ever bothered to look at the content before submitting volumes upon volumes to print. But the internet is crazy about the s**tposting content that refers to the internet slang which means content of no value.
According to Urban Dictionary, “any content on the internet whose humor derives from its surreal nature and/or its lack of clear context” can be defined as a s**tpost. But it differs from a meme: “whereas a meme's humor comes from its repeatability, a s**tpost is funny simply because it isn't a predictable repetition of an existing form. S**tposts can become memes, but memes cannot become s**tposts.”
