Chemistry lab Memes

The forbidden taste test of the periodic table! Green elements like oxygen? Sure, lick away! Yellow phosphorus? Might wake up with one less tongue. But those red cesium elements? They'll turn your mouth into a chemistry demonstration that ends with a hospital visit. And if you're eyeing those purple radioactive elements at the bottom, congratulations on your upcoming superhero origin story—though your superpower might just be "glows in the dark." Next time someone asks "for science," remember: carbon is your friend, plutonium is not.

When you're doing a titration but forget the ONE thing that tells you when to stop! That feeling when you realize you've set up the perfect acid-base experiment but forgot the phenolphthalein (or methyl orange if you're fancy). Without an indicator, you're just pouring liquids together with zero clue when neutralization happens. It's like trying to find the end of a movie with the screen turned off. Chemistry students everywhere just felt a collective shudder down their spines remembering that one lab where they had to start all over because they skipped step 3 in the protocol. The face of despair in the last panel is the universal expression of "now I have to explain to my lab partner why we're still here an hour after everyone else left."
