Every Time There's Something There - It's Them

The crushing reality of biology students everywhere! Spending hours memorizing the Krebs cycle only to forget it immediately after the exam. Frantically trying to remember if mitosis comes before meiosis while someone assumes you're the next Darwin. Meanwhile, your lab notebook looks like it was written by a caffeinated squirrel, and you're still not sure if that thing under the microscope was a cell or just a smudge on the lens. Intelligence? No, just pure survival instinct and an unhealthy relationship with flashcards!

Someone skipped photosynthesis day in biology class and now thinks chlorophyll is a dangerous chemical. Newsflash: it's just the pigment that makes plants green and helps them convert sunlight into energy. That's like being horrified that you can buy dihydrogen monoxide online (that's water, by the way). Next they'll discover you can purchase sodium chloride and have a complete meltdown about table salt. The educational system has failed spectacularly here.

The biochemistry student stereotype is strong with this one. Those glasses, that deadpan expression—it's the universal uniform of someone who's spent too many hours staring at protein folding diagrams. We biochem majors don't even need to announce ourselves; the dark circles under our eyes from memorizing metabolic pathways do it for us. The real giveaway? That thousand-yard stare that comes from realizing you've voluntarily signed up for four years of organic chemistry, molecular biology, and explaining to relatives that no, you can't prescribe medication.

The bell curve of intelligence strikes again! People at both extremes of the IQ spectrum confidently declare "dolphins are fish," while the enlightened middle-grounders frantically correct them: "DOLPHINS ARE NOT FISH THEY ARE MAMMALS!" This is the scientific version of horseshoe theory - where the extremely smart and extremely... let's say "creative thinkers"... somehow reach the same wrong conclusion. The difference? The high-IQ person on the right probably has an elaborate 15-page thesis on why taxonomic classifications are social constructs anyway.

Ever wonder why pigeons always seem to be staring down at you from ledges? That's because you're prime real estate in the pigeon housing market! 🏠 This meme plays on the territorial behavior of pigeons who compete for nesting spots. From their perspective, your head might just be the last available "pigeon-hole" in town - and these two are eyeing you up like you're beachfront property! Fun fact: Pigeons are actually incredible navigators with magnetoreception abilities that help them sense Earth's magnetic field. But apparently, that sophisticated navigation system still leads them directly to your personal space!

This 1871 cartoon from "The Hornet" shows the Victorian-era scientific community's favorite pastime: drawing Darwin with monkey parts. Nothing says "I have a compelling counterargument" like depicting your intellectual opponent as half-primate! The caption "A Venerable Orang-Outang" is peak 19th-century wit—about as subtle as a lab explosion. This was the original scientific clickbait, published when evolution was still the spicy new theory making religious conservatives clutch their prayer books. The real irony? Darwin never claimed humans evolved FROM apes, but rather that we SHARE common ancestors. But why let facts get in the way of a good caricature? Victorian satirists: missing the point since 1871.
