Rosalind Franklin Deserves More Credit
The historical science burn that keeps on burning! Franklin's X-ray crystallography image (Photo 51) was the crucial evidence for DNA's helical structure, but Watson and Crick swooped in with their model and snagged the Nobel Prize without proper attribution. Talk about academic theft dressed as discovery! The scientific equivalent of copying homework and getting an A while the person who did all the work gets nothing. Justice for Rosalind - her crystallography skills were literally dope as fuck and changed molecular biology forever.

The Human Foundation Of Economic Inequality
Ever notice how the economy is basically a giant Jenga tower of financial literacy? The top 1% enjoys beachfront paradise while literally standing on the backs of people who can't calculate compound interest. Next time someone says "I'm not a math person" while signing a 29.99% APR credit card, pour one out for their future bank account. The mathematical illiteracy tax is real, and it's supporting entire industries—from payday loans to lottery tickets to those "buy now, pay way more later" schemes. Knowing the difference between 15% and 15% APR might just be the difference between vacationing on that beach or being part of the human infrastructure beneath it!

Tesla Is Love, Edison Is Loud
The eternal struggle between Tesla and Edison perfectly captured in classroom form. Tesla, the brilliant introvert who mumbled groundbreaking ideas about alternating current, while Edison, the business-savvy extrovert, simply shouted Tesla's ideas louder and got the credit. Some scientific rivalries never die, they just get recycled into meme format. The historical equivalent of writing your name on someone else's lab report.
