Made This During A Presentation

chemistry-memes, spectroscopy-memes, ftir-memes, procrastination-memes, lab-humor-memes | ScienceHumor.io

The perfect fusion of science and procrastination! During what appears to be a serious chemistry presentation about FTIR spectroscopy (those characteristic dips in the graph showing molecular vibrations), someone's mind wandered to... FlexTape commercials? The juxtaposition of analytical chemistry graphs with the iconic "That's a lot of damage" meme is peak grad student energy. Nothing says "I'm mentally checked out of this seminar" like mentally photoshopping Phil Swift into your nitrile group analysis. The professor probably thought you were taking diligent notes, but nope—just creating internet gold while pretending to care about wavelength shifts!

Chill, It's Inflammable (It Will Still Burn You)

The English language strikes again with its fiery confusion! The prefix "in-" usually means "not," but with "flammable" it actually means the SAME THING. So "inflammable" = "flammable" = "can catch fire." That's right, folks—the word that sounds like it should mean "won't burn" actually means "will totally burn your eyebrows off!" Chemistry students everywhere are screaming internally while lab safety officers weep in the corner. Next time someone tells you something is inflammable and you feel safe, remember this linguistic deathtrap that's been causing chaos since the 17th century!

The Grignard Growth Experiment

The face you make when organic chemistry puns cross into dangerous territory! This meme is playing with Grignard reagent chemistry, where a brominated compound reacts with magnesium in ether to form a powerful nucleophile. The joke uses suggestive wordplay to imply someone's trying to "enhance" something personal using chemistry principles that would, in reality, cause a fiery explosion rather than the desired "growth." Trust me, the only thing getting longer would be your hospital stay! Chemistry humor that's both clever and catastrophically misguided—exactly what happens when you mix education with sleep deprivation!

States Of Matter: We Are Not The Same

Chemistry's version of the "we are not the same" meme is absolutely savage. HCl(aq) is just chilling in solution, dissolving in water like a basic normie. Meanwhile, HCl(g) is the dangerous bad boy of the chemistry world - a corrosive gas that will literally dissolve your lungs if you breathe it. One's homework problems, the other's hazmat territory. Next time someone confuses these two, just remember: one makes your pH paper turn red, the other makes your emergency room visit inevitable.

Listen, Sometimes The Aromatics Get A Little Messy

When your NMR spectrum goes from neatly organized splitting patterns to COMPLETE SPECTRAL CHAOS ! 🧪 Organic chemists be like: "Give me those clean doublets and triplets? NOPE! I want that glorious multiplet mess that makes interpretation a beautiful nightmare!" That bottom spectrum is what happens when your aromatic protons decide to throw a wild party and invite all their coupling friends. It's not a spectrum, it's a modern art masterpiece !

Biochemistry Is Sin

Hemoglobin is the ultimate drama queen of proteins! That tiny 0.2 pH drop? Sends it into a full existential crisis where it suddenly abandons its current oxygen relationship to pursue new molecular interests. It's the Bohr Effect in action - hemoglobin literally changes its entire molecular shape when the environment gets slightly more acidic, releasing oxygen where it's needed most. Talk about being sensitive! Your blood cells are basically running around with millions of tiny commitment-phobes that dump oxygen the second things get a little sour. And we wonder why our bodies are so complicated?!

When Basic Science Takes A Vacation

This is what happens when you skip every single science class but still try to sound smart on the internet. Not only is diamond not a metal (it's carbon atoms arranged in a crystal structure), but claiming 1 gram weighs 15 grams is like saying "this dollar is worth 15 dollars." The universe just collectively facepalmed. This is why we scientists drink during faculty meetings.
