When Anatomy Class Gets Personal
The snail's having an existential crisis after learning its anatomy includes an "anus" (highlighted in red). Imagine discovering your body part is literally the butt of scientific jokes! The poor gastropod is crying because, well, wouldn't you if you found out you've been carrying around an organ with such an unfortunate name? Biology textbooks don't care about your feelings, little snail.

The Existential Crisis Of A Gastropod
The snail just found out it's basically a walking digestive system with extra parts! Imagine discovering your entire body is mostly dedicated to processing food and pooping. The diagram shows all the scientific labels of snail anatomy, and then there's our poor devastated snail below, literally crying after learning what's inside its shell. It's having an existential crisis realizing it's essentially a stomach with a foot! Honestly, if someone handed me my own anatomical diagram, I'd probably have the same reaction. Identity crisis level: gastropod!

Slugs: When Your Mass Units Are Literally Slimy
Behold the absurdity of imperial units! The English system uses "slug" as a unit of mass while the SI system sensibly uses kilograms. The joke is brilliantly illustrated with an actual slug (the gastropod) circled in red—because apparently measuring mass with garden creatures makes PERFECT scientific sense! 🤪 For the uninitiated lab rats among us: a slug is actually 32.2 pounds-mass or about 14.6 kg. It's the amount of mass that accelerates at 1 ft/s² when a force of 1 pound is applied. Why use something logical when you can measure with mollusks instead? *maniacal scientist laughter*
