Explain this old meme to me

Sometimes people say 'SCIENCE'.
Where did that come from and how did it come to be a meme?

I don't know but it's mildly funny.

Old fag here,  science was just a blanket term for "believe this" in proving an argument.  Used in the case of when logical discourse was unavailable.

There's some British dude who had a science show, and he was in the Thomas Dolby song "She Blinded Me with Science", in which we hear his voice saying "SCIENCE"

btw, does "What has Science done?" come from anywhere in particular?

Not sure. But very appropriate to say to someone you see that makes you go "wat"

perhaps an allusion to "what hath god wrought", quoting Numbers 23:23, "Having just invented the telegraph, Morse was searching for an appropriate first message when the daughter of a US patent official suggested the biblical phrase", or some fuckin comic book

Don't change these.
