The scientific accuracy in this meme is *chef's kiss*! While "happy as a clam" and "free as a bird" are common idioms, the sea cucumber one hits different with its brutal biological truth. Sea cucumbers actually perform evisceration (scientific term for "yeet your guts") when threatened, expelling their internal organs through their anus or body wall as a defensive mechanism. The poor echinoderm in the illustration has gone full nuclear option for nothing! This is the marine biology equivalent of pulling the fire alarm during finals week only to discover it was just someone's burnt popcorn. Nature's most dramatic overreaction, immortalized in scientific literature and now, meme culture.
