Buncha Dumbasses Indeed

Breaking news: Parents discover schools forcing children to consume a dangerous chemical compound called "dihydrogen monoxide" - which is literally just H₂O (water)! The meme brilliantly mocks scientific illiteracy and chemophobia by presenting basic water with its technical chemical name to make it sound terrifying. And that pH of 7? Neutral as Switzerland in wartime, yet somehow portrayed as more dangerous than stomach acid! This is the same energy as those Facebook posts warning that sodium chloride (table salt) is found in 100% of deadly tumors. Next they'll tell us that everyone who consumes dihydrogen monoxide eventually dies. Which is technically true... but might take 80+ years.

This one's a scientific mic drop! People claiming "electromagnetic hypersensitivity" freak out about WiFi signals, but completely forget that neutrinos and cosmic rays are zipping through their bodies by the TRILLIONS every second! 😂 While WiFi operates at about 2.4 GHz with super low power, cosmic rays are high-energy particles from space that have been bombarding Earth (and us) since before humans existed. And neutrinos? Those sneaky subatomic particles are so non-interactive they can pass through a light-year of lead without stopping! The irony is delicious - worrying about WiFi while being completely unbothered by the cosmic particle rave happening through your body right now!

The Empire's engineering department just got owned by the Flat Death Star Society. In a universe where we can build planet-destroying superweapons, apparently basic geometry is still controversial. Next they'll claim the tractor beam is just magnets and the Force is a government conspiracy. I suppose if you squint hard enough at a sphere, everything looks flat—just like some people's learning curves.

The irony here is thicker than a textbook on differential equations. Those "Arabic numerals" everyone's panicking about? They're the ones you've been using your entire life: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9. This is what happens when scientific literacy takes a vacation while fear works overtime. The same folks who'd be outraged about learning "Arabic numerals" probably don't realize they're already calculating their conspiracy theories using... Arabic numerals. Next up: Michigan forces students to learn the "foreign" concept of gravity. The horror!

The beautiful irony of conspiracy logic! First they claim the moon landing was staged, then they hit you with "you believe in the moon?" It's like arguing with someone who keeps moving the goalposts to another dimension entirely. I've spent 40 years teaching astronomy, and nothing prepared me for people who think NASA is simultaneously incompetent enough to fake a landing AND powerful enough to maintain a planetary hologram. Next they'll tell you gravity is just a feeling you get when the government turns down the simulation settings.

The perfect gotcha question for flat-Earthers! If Earth were actually flat, digging a slanted hole would just send you out the bottom of the disc (hope you packed a space suit). But on our spherical planet, a perfectly angled tunnel through Earth's diameter would actually emerge on the opposite side—though you'd need to overcome that pesky molten core and crushing pressure first. The red line in the image shows the hypothetical tunnel path. Next flat Earth meeting challenge: bring a really, really long shovel and let's settle this debate once and for all!
