Control group Memes

Classic King Ghidorah meme showing evolution of scientific papers. The first two fierce dragon heads represent the intimidating X-axis and Y-axis in research papers, while the derpy third head is the poor Gemini symbol (∽) that represents the control group. Control groups never get the spotlight despite being crucial to the experimental design. That third head is basically every control experiment ever - essential but forgotten when the exciting results come in!

The corporate equivalent of changing your thesis font from Arial to Calibri and calling it groundbreaking research. Marketing departments really think that replacing a dot with an "x" constitutes innovation worthy of a "NEW LOOK" label. Meanwhile, the control group (left bottle) maintains the same chemical composition as the experimental group, rendering this entire rebrand statistically insignificant with p-value = who cares. At least they're honest about the "SAME BOLD TASTE" — nature's way of confirming null hypothesis.

The scientific method claims another innocent victim! Santa delivers the harshest lesson in experimental design when a disappointed child discovers their empty gift box. Instead of sympathy, Santa drops the statistical bombshell - the kid's just part of the control group. This is basically how researchers feel delivering placebo results. Remember kids, proper experimental design requires sacrifices... sometimes it's your Christmas morning.
