Chemistry prank Memes

Chemistry's secret love letter! Take the chemical symbols from these elements and you get "NEVER GONNA GIVE YOU UP." That's right, you've just been Rick-rolled by the periodic table. Next time your students ask why they need to memorize element symbols, just point to this and walk away dramatically. Chemistry teachers have been planning this prank since Mendeleev first arranged the elements.

The ultimate chemistry dad joke has arrived in lab coat form! "Dihydrogen monoxide" is just the fancy scientific name for water (H₂O). Two hydrogen atoms + one oxygen atom = the most dangerous chemical that kills thousands annually through drowning. The scientist's proud expression says it all—he's discovered the most abundant compound on Earth that's been right under our noses the whole time! This plays on the classic science prank where people petition to ban "dihydrogen monoxide" because it "causes excessive sweating," "contributes to erosion," and "is found in tumors of terminal cancer patients." Technically correct is the best kind of correct!
