Please Go Back To Using Poop Fertilizers
Time-traveling to medieval times with knowledge of the Haber-Bosch process would be a total flop! The meme perfectly captures that awkward moment when your advanced nitrogen fixation knowledge meets blank medieval stares. The Haber-Bosch process revolutionized agriculture by synthesizing ammonia for fertilizers, replacing traditional methods (like good ol' manure). But try explaining high-pressure hydrogen and nitrogen catalysis to people who think the Black Death is caused by bad smells! Medieval farmers: "So you're saying we should stop using poop on fields and instead build massive industrial complexes requiring technology that won't exist for 800 years?" Yeah, that cat's "idk" face says it all.

The Haber-Bosch Dunning-Kruger Effect

The Haber-Bosch Dunning-Kruger Effect
Time-traveling to medieval times with knowledge of the Haber-Bosch process would be the ultimate flex... until they ask you how it actually works. The meme perfectly captures that moment when your grand plans to impress people from the past with modern science hits the wall of "wait, I don't actually understand the details." For those wondering, the Haber-Bosch process revolutionized agriculture by synthetically fixing atmospheric nitrogen to create ammonia for fertilizers. It's why we feed billions today instead of using, well, poop. But could most of us explain the catalysts, high pressures, and reaction mechanics involved? Probably not without frantically googling it first. The medieval folks would've benefited enormously from this knowledge, but our time-traveling cat can only offer an "idk" when pressed for details. Classic case of "I understand the concept enough to sound smart at parties but not enough to actually implement it." Medieval agriculture remains unchanged, and our would-be genius returns to the present, tail between legs.
