Cholesterol Memes

When your friend gets all philosophical about emotional voids, but you're busy thinking about cholesterol plaques! The meme shows an artery with red blood cells flowing through it and yellow fatty deposits building up on the walls - literally filling that void in your "heart" vessels with delicious, dangerous lipids. Who needs emotional fulfillment when you can have atherosclerosis instead? Science: 1, Metaphors: 0!

When someone says food won't fill the void in your heart, they clearly haven't studied basic anatomy. The heart is literally surrounded by fatty deposits and blood vessels—both direct products of what you eat! That's not emotional emptiness, that's just the coronary sinus waiting for more cheese fries. Science doesn't care about your feelings, but it does care about your cholesterol levels.

The biochemistry exam flashbacks are REAL! This meme perfectly captures the trauma of being ambushed by metabolic pathway questions. The UN peacekeepers are literally holding students hostage until they regurgitate impossibly complex conversion pathways that even practicing biochemists would need to look up. Converting tryptophan to glucose? That's gluconeogenesis from an amino acid—a multi-step nightmare involving deamination, kynurenine pathway intermediates, and eventually pyruvate formation before even starting the actual glucose synthesis. No wonder the stick figure is having an existential crisis! And don't even mention cholesterol biosynthesis with its 30+ steps starting from acetyl-CoA. Biochemistry students worldwide just felt a collective shudder.
