Coloured Solutions Are Reserved For The Inorganic Chemists

Paracelsus, the 16th century physician, famously stated "the dose makes the poison" - a fundamental principle of toxicology. But this meme takes it further with a nihilistic twist: "There is no such thing as poison. There are only overdoses." Just your typical lab meeting where someone's trying too hard to one-up the founding father of toxicology. Next they'll be telling us water is just hydrogen hydroxide that hasn't killed you yet. The difference between medicine and poison? Paperwork and intent.

When copper oxide meets aluminum, it's basically chemistry's version of a mixtape that's straight fire! The thermite reaction shown here isn't just hot—it's "melt through a car engine" hot (3000°C+). But the real joke is the "CuO + Al" formula with that plus sign looking suspiciously like they're adding artificial intelligence to the mix. Because clearly what every violently exothermic reaction needs is machine learning capabilities. Next thing you know, your backyard science experiment will be plotting world domination while melting your garden shed. Science: making things that can destroy us since... forever.

Finally! Your endless scrolling has paid off with a hit of the happiness molecule! The meme shows dopamine's chemical structure - that magical neurotransmitter responsible for your brain's reward system. Every time you get likes, find something funny, or accomplish literally anything, this little molecule floods your brain with that "YESSS!" feeling. Social media platforms are basically dopamine slot machines, which explains why we're all scrolling at 3am instead of sleeping. Your brain is just chasing that next chemical high! Honestly, finding this meme might be the most productive thing you've done all day. Dopamine for everyone indeed!

Chemistry mixup with massive consequences! Melatonin is the hormone that regulates your sleep cycle, while melanin is the pigment that gives skin its color. Taking melanin instead of melatonin would be like trying to paint your bedroom dark while you're inside it! Your body would be like "Time to produce skin pigment!" while your brain is screaming "BUT I JUST WANTED TO SLEEP!" The ultimate biochemical prank that nobody asked for! 😱

Behold! The ultimate scientific method gone hilariously wrong! While the physicist and biologist were busy dissolving themselves in the name of research, our clever chemist stayed dry and simply recorded the data: "Physicists and biologists are soluble in ocean water." Classic chemist move—letting others do the dangerous experimental work while taking notes from a safe distance! Remember kids, proper experimental design includes NOT becoming part of your solution. The chemist deserves a Nobel Prize for survival skills!

This meme perfectly captures the stark reality between different chemistry disciplines and their equipment needs. In Physical Chemistry, you're either characterizing "useless metal clusters" with minimal equipment or sobbing uncontrollably because you need to rebuild ancient experimental setups from dusty 70s journals. Meanwhile, Biological Chemistry bros are living their best lives with fancy Thermo Scientific equipment that costs more than your entire education. Want to sequence every protein in a hamster? No problem! Just swipe the lab credit card for that cool $2 million mass spec machine. The scientific equivalent of "my equipment budget brings all the boys to the yard."
