Chemist life Memes

Remember when chemists would casually handle carcinogens like they were water? The old guard is out here calling new chemists "stupid" while they're the ones who licked radioactive elements and sniffed unknown compounds like it was a competitive sport. Carbon tetrachloride was literally used as a cleaning agent before people realized it destroys your liver and kidneys. But sure, we're the stupid ones for using fume hoods and gloves. Nothing says "genius scientist" like shortened lifespans and mysterious organ failures!
