Every chemistry student knows that sinking feeling when plastic meets Bunsen burner. The facial expressions here are perfect - you've got the proud culprit in the middle boasting about their latest lab equipment casualty ("Me melting my chem lab gear"), while their lab partner looks absolutely dead inside from witnessing yet another weighboat sacrifice to the chemistry gods. Meanwhile, the TA's sign might as well say "I'm not paid enough for this." The title's subtle correction that "It Was Actually A Weighboat That Melted" is that classic moment when you're desperately trying to minimize the damage report. "No no, I didn't melt the $500 beaker... just this $0.10 piece of plastic!" Chemistry labs: where precision matters everywhere except when you're placing your equipment near open flames.

Congratulations! You've successfully upgraded from washing dishes at home to washing glassware in a lab at triple the education cost. The irony is exquisite - spend 4+ years and thousands in tuition to stand at a sink scrubbing beakers instead of dinner plates. The only difference? Now you're wearing a fancy white coat while doing it and the stuff you're washing off might give you a chemical burn or two. Progress! The universal truth of laboratory science that no professor mentions in their shiny recruitment presentations: 90% of your time will be spent cleaning equipment. The other 10%? Setting up experiments that create more dirty glassware.
