Protein folding gone wrong? Brain gone sponge! This meme brilliantly captures the terrifying reality of prion diseases, where a single misfolded protein can convince others to join its rebellious shape-shifting cult. Soon your brain literally develops holes like this kitchen sponge. The scariest part? No immune response, no cure, 100% fatal. Just one rogue protein molecule saying "let's get weird with our tertiary structure" and suddenly you're forgetting your own name. Nature's most minimalist bioweapon is just a protein that convinced other proteins to be badly behaved.
