Conspiracy Memes

This meme is peak chemistry conspiracy theory! It's satirizing chemistry by presenting ridiculous "arguments" against it. The joke works by deliberately misunderstanding basic chemical concepts: The H₂O bit kills me - imagine thinking water is some elitist privilege rather than, you know, the stuff covering 71% of our planet. And the "organic chemistry has NO ORGANS" line? Pure genius. It's playing on the word "organic" having different meanings in chemistry versus everyday language. The meme also mocks the complex molecular models chemists use (the "origami and LEGO pieces") and even pokes fun at the concept of "moles" - which is a unit measuring substance amount, not the furry animal! It's basically what would happen if someone with zero chemistry knowledge tried to "expose" the field as a scam. Think flat-earthers, but for chemistry!

The eternal struggle between crystal healers and crystallographers, beautifully satirized as a conspiracy theory! This masterpiece of scientific snark parodies how actual scientists feel when crystal enthusiasts claim healing properties while researchers spend years of their lives determining atomic structures through diffraction patterns. Those complex unit cell diagrams? Just "VOODOO mathematics" according to the meme. And that ridiculous chemical formula K 14 LaO 158 P 4 W 34 ? Try synthesizing that without carbon (or sanity)! My favorite part is "crystals made of PhD tears" - because nothing captures the essence of crystallography better than crying over diffraction patterns at 3AM wondering why your sample won't crystallize after 8 months of synthesis. The irony is delicious - real crystallographers would fight anyone claiming neutrons don't exist, yet would absolutely agree with the PhD tears part.
