Increasing The Surface Area Of A Substance Increases Its Reaction Rate: Proof By Garlic

The ultimate alchemist's dream! "Fe" is iron and "S" is sulfur on the periodic table, and when combined as FeS₂, you get pyrite—aka "fool's gold." It looks like gold but it's chemically worthless compared to actual gold. The stonks meme guy is basically saying "I've turned worthless elements into something that LOOKS valuable and tricked everyone!" It's medieval chemistry meets modern finance fraud! The perfect scheme until someone with basic mineral knowledge shows up to your gold rush and ruins everything with actual science.

When chemistry slides into your DMs but you don't recognize it! The person is looking for a guy shaped like that zigzag, while literally talking to someone named "Cyclohexane" whose profile pic is... a hexagon! Cyclohexane is indeed "the guy in the pic" - a six-carbon ring compound that exists in a chair or boat conformation. It's the molecular equivalent of saying "I'm standing right here!" while someone searches for you with a megaphone. Dating is hard, but organic chemistry dating is apparently even harder.

Future NileRed is going to be wild! For those not in the chemistry YouTube rabbit hole, NileRed is famous for his increasingly ambitious chemical experiments. The joke here is that by 2067, he'll have graduated from synthesizing exotic compounds to straight-up transmuting children into dogs through some unholy chemical alchemy. The progression from "I made glass from scratch" to "I turned a human child into a canine" is just the natural evolution of any dedicated scientist with too much lab time and not enough supervision. Edward Elric from Fullmetal Alchemist is sweating nervously right now.

The classic chemistry student nightmare in one perfect meme! Sure, just remember the first letter of each element... except when you realize Gold (Au), Iron (Fe), Silver (Ag), Lead (Pb), and Antimony (Sb) all decided to rebel against simplicity. These periodic table troublemakers derive their symbols from Latin or Greek names— aurum , ferrum , argentum , plumbum , and stibium . Next time someone tells you chemistry is straightforward, just show them this and watch their confidence crumble faster than an unstable isotope.

The eternal struggle between chemistry and physics students! While chemists spend their days drawing endless benzene rings and carbon structures (hexagons everywhere!), physics textbooks are just mathematical equations and abstract concepts. To a chemist, a book without hexagonal molecular structures is practically unreadable - like trying to read a novel without vowels. The look of utter confusion on Gaston's face perfectly captures that "where are all my beautiful carbon rings??" moment that every organic chemistry student experiences when venturing outside their hexagon-filled comfort zone.

The eternal departmental rivalry strikes again! Chemistry majors smugly declaring biology "not a real science" while biologists stand by helplessly is peak STEM hierarchy drama. The scientific turf war continues with chemists acting like they're handling "real" molecules while biologists just poke at squishy things. Meanwhile, physicists are probably off-screen feeling superior to everyone because they use more math. The interdepartmental shade-throwing is what keeps university hallways spicy!
