Stop Doing Chemistry

The classic chemical misinformation campaign strikes again. "Dihydrogen monoxide" is just water (H₂O). A pH of 7 is neutral, not acidic at all. It's like putting a skull and crossbones on a glass of tap water and calling it deadly because 100% of serial killers have consumed it. Next they'll warn you about the dangers of oxidane in your swimming pool. I've seen grad students pull this prank on freshmen during orientation week. Never gets old watching them frantically taking notes.

The punchline here is gloriously nerdy - "H Ts" isn't a real chemical compound but a visual pun using polar bears! The adult bear labeled "Ts" and cub labeled "H" create the fictional "Hydrotennesic Acid." Chemistry jokes reach their apex when they involve falsely naming bear photos as microscope images. Scanning tunneling microscopes actually visualize individual atoms by measuring electrical current between a sharp tip and surface—definitely not capable of capturing adorable bear families. Chemists everywhere are quietly chuckling at their desks right now.

The classic "hiding under the blanket in terror" reaction is 100% justified here! This meme pokes fun at those fear-mongering food claims that sound scientific but are complete nonsense. Anyone who's taken basic organic chemistry knows this claim is ridiculous. Margarine is made of triglycerides (fats) with completely different molecular structures than plastics (polymers). The "one molecule away" claim is meaningless chemically - water is "one atom away" from hydrogen peroxide, but you definitely don't want to drink the latter! And the "shares 27 ingredients with paint" part? Pure pseudoscience! It's like saying humans and bananas share 60% of their DNA, so we're basically fruit with anxiety. Chemistry doesn't work that way! The Toy Story characters hiding in horror perfectly captures how actual chemists feel when they see these viral food myths spreading faster than bacteria on room-temperature mayo!

The ultimate chemistry power move! This meme pokes fun at Søren Sørensen, the Danish chemist who created the pH scale in 1909 but took the meaning of "p" to his grave. While scientists now know it stands for "potential of hydrogen" (or "-log[H+]" for the nerdy crowd), Sørensen apparently chose chaos and never clarified. The muscular body photoshopped under his face perfectly captures the big brain energy of someone who creates a fundamental measurement system then refuses to elaborate. That's not just scientific discovery—that's scientific dominance.

Engineers and chemists discussing how to mask autism in job interviews is like trying to hide a Bunsen burner in a haystack. The real secret? Don't bother. The field is basically a neurodiversity sanctuary where avoiding eye contact is considered efficient time management and obsessive attention to detail is just called "good science." Your autism isn't a bug—it's the industry standard feature.

The ultimate chemistry nerd's bathroom! Someone turned their shower tiles into a complete periodic table of elements. Talk about being in your element while getting clean! This person definitely has a solution for making mundane activities more educational. Just imagine pointing to Argon while arguing with your roommate about whose turn it is to clean. "I would, but I'm feeling particularly noble and unreactive today." The pun in the title is *chef's kiss* - "He Showers Periodically" works on multiple levels since periodic refers both to the table and to the frequency of bathing. Chemistry teachers everywhere are simultaneously impressed and jealous they didn't think of this first.
