Cellular hierarchy Memes

The cellular class system in full display! Ribosomes attached to the endoplasmic reticulum looking down on their free-floating cytoplasmic cousins like they're watching the peasants from their fancy mansion. These protein-making factories have the audacity to develop a hierarchy when they're all just RNA and proteins themselves. The bougie ER-bound ribosomes make proteins for export, while the "commoners" in the cytoplasm handle the local protein needs. Biology's version of "I'm better than you because I have real estate." Next they'll be forming a ribosomal homeowners association.
