The existential crisis of a genetics student who discovers their fruit flies are living a double lie! Not only do these so-called "fruit" flies actually feast on yeast rather than fruit, but the poor apterous mutants can't even fly. The student's conclusion is both scientifically accurate and hilariously megalomaniacal - these wingless, misnamed creatures are now "yeast crawls" and the student has ascended to godhood over their tiny subjects. This perfectly captures that moment in lab when you realize scientific nomenclature is sometimes more marketing than accuracy. The progression from scientific observation to divine proclamation is the scientific method at its most entertaining.
