Frogs Memes

The African clawed frog is having what scientists call "a completely rational reaction" to being used as a pregnancy test. In the 1940s, these unfortunate amphibians were injected with women's urine—if the woman was pregnant, the hormones would cause the frog to lay eggs within 24 hours. Imagine spending your evolutionary journey becoming a specialized aquatic creature only to end up as a urinary diagnostic tool. And you thought your career path took an unexpected turn.

Those poor amphibians never stood a chance! Biology students eyeing frogs with dissection tools is basically the horror movie that no frog signed up for. The classic frog dissection lab—where countless ribbits are silenced in the name of education. Nothing says "welcome to biology class" like the smell of formaldehyde and the guilty feeling of staring into those lifeless froggy eyes before you make the first incision. Meanwhile, the frogs outside living their best lily pad life have NO IDEA what educational sacrifice their brethren are making inside. That spatial separation between predator and prey is just *chef's kiss* darkly hilarious.

Biology students have a... special relationship with frogs! While most people see a cute amphibian, biology students see their next dissection subject. That maniacal grin captures the exact moment when a biology student realizes they get to explore frog anatomy hands-on. Nothing gets a future biologist more excited than the chance to peek inside nature's designs with a scalpel! Meanwhile, the physics students next door are just trying to calculate the trajectory of a frog's jump.

The frogs are celebrating because they've just escaped their grim fate as dissection specimens! During the COVID pandemic, biology classes were canceled, giving these amphibian friends a surprise reprieve from the scalpel. The meme cleverly shows Kermit's emotional journey from concerned (hearing about the virus), to processing the news (wait, no biology class?), to absolute jubilation (realizing he won't be pickled in formaldehyde). Talk about a silver lining! The scientific name "Rana Tigrina" in the suggested title refers to the Indian Bullfrog, which is commonly used in classroom dissections - making these frogs' celebration even more personal. Freedom has never looked so green!
