When chemistry meets safety regulations! The meme shows OSHA and EPA (safety agencies) trying to stop someone from using methylene chloride, a potent but hazardous solvent that chemists secretly adore. It's the forbidden love story of the lab world! Methylene chloride (dichloromethane) is amazing at dissolving practically anything, but it's also super toxic and potentially carcinogenic. That's why researchers have this love-hate relationship with it - works brilliantly but might just kill you! The troll face with a rifle is basically every stubborn chemist who's like "try and take my favorite solvent, I dare you!" Pure chemical rebellion in its natural habitat!
