Chemistry students discovering azido azide azide - a compound so unstable it's basically the chemical equivalent of that friend who explodes at the slightest provocation.

This molecule is packed with nitrogen atoms and azide groups that are practically begging to decompose violently. Chemists who synthesize this are either incredibly brave or have excellent life insurance policies.

The joke really is that this exists... because any reasonable molecule would have taken one look at its own structure and spontaneously disintegrated out of embarrassment. It's like nature's way of saying "hold my beer and watch this!"
