Chemistry nerds evolving before our eyes! The meme perfectly captures the three stages of chemical nomenclature addiction. First, you're casually saying "cholesterol" like a normal human. Then you graduate to "cholest-5-en-3β-ol" and think you're sophisticated. But the final form? That monstrosity at the bottom is the chemical equivalent of giving someone your address with GPS coordinates down to the nanometer. Chemists don't make friends at parties—they make systematic IUPAC names that nobody asked for. Next time someone asks what you had for breakfast, just tell them you consumed 2,2,4-trimethylpentane-oxidized avian embryonic protein structures. They'll never invite you anywhere again!
I Can Only Speak Systematic IUPAC
