Birch reduction Memes

The chemistry nerds have outdone themselves! This meme brilliantly plays on the Birch reduction—a famous organic chemistry reaction that reduces aromatic rings using sodium/potassium in liquid ammonia—and turns it into a pun about "attitude reduction." The smug cat with a gun is basically saying "I've got my own method of reducing problems." It's the perfect representation of what happens when you mix dangerous chemicals with dangerous attitudes! Chemistry professors probably giggle at this while their students simultaneously laugh and have PTSD flashbacks to organic chemistry exams.
