H2so4 Memes

From fearless sulfuric acid mouth-pipetting to panicking over dilute acetic acid on gloves—chemistry safety standards have come a LONG way! The 1925 chemist (buff Doge) is casually announcing they'll use their mouth to pipette H₂SO₄ (a horrifyingly corrosive acid that would destroy their esophagus), while modern chemists (small Doge) freak out over 0.00001M acetic acid (basically fancy vinegar) touching their protective gear. It's like going from "I'll juggle these chainsaws blindfolded" to "Help! I touched a butter knife!" Safety evolution is real, folks—and our internal organs are thankful!

The evolution of lab safety standards is hilarious and terrifying. On the left, we have 1925's absolute unit of a chemist casually mouth-pipetting sulfuric acid (H₂SO₄) - you know, just a compound that can dissolve your esophagus faster than tenure committee rejections. Meanwhile, modern chemists have a complete meltdown over 0.00001M acetic acid (basically fancy vinegar) touching their glove. Safety protocols have evolved from "what doesn't kill you makes you stronger" to "I need therapy because a drop of something weaker than salad dressing touched my PPE." The methylene blue accident mentioned in the title? Classic chemist rite of passage - turns your urine Smurf-blue and convinces you death is imminent. Nothing says "I'm a real scientist now" like peeing blue and having an existential crisis!
