Buckets Memes

Forget the strong nuclear force that holds atomic nuclei together—the REAL unbreakable bond is whatever dark magic keeps those 5-gallon bucket lids sealed! Anyone who's ever wrestled with one of these plastic monsters knows the truth: physics textbooks should replace diagrams of quarks with pictures of these buckets. You need the strength of ten physicists and possibly a crowbar just to crack that seal. Meanwhile, the actual strong nuclear force is sitting there like "I thought I was impressive holding protons together against electromagnetic repulsion, but clearly I need to up my game."
