Remember when chemistry was just four elements and you didn't need a PhD to understand what you were made of? Medieval scientists be like: "Hmm yes, this rock has too much Earth energy, better balance it with some Fire." 🔥

Modern chemists need 118 elements and counting, while ancient Greeks were vibing with just Earth, Water, Air, and Fire. No wonder they had time to philosophize all day - their periodic table fit on a napkin!

Next time someone tries to explain quantum chemistry to you, just point at this and say "I prefer the classical approach, thank you very much."
