Dihydrogen Monoxide: The Deadliest Chemical You Consume Daily

Dihydrogen Monoxide: The Deadliest Chemical You Consume Daily
The ultimate chemistry bamboozle! "Dihydrogen monoxide" is just a fancy scientific name for... water (H₂O). The meme claims it's "an acid with a pH of 7" which is technically incorrect since pH 7 is neutral, not acidic. And that skull and crossbones logo? Pure fear-mongering about the "dangers" of water. This plays on how scientific terminology can sound scary to the uninitiated. People have actually fallen for "dihydrogen monoxide" hoaxes where petitions to ban this "dangerous chemical" (that causes drowning and is found in tumor cells!) get signatures from folks who don't realize they're voting to ban water. Next time someone offers you dihydrogen monoxide, just remember - it's the stuff coming out of your tap! No need to "spay it with water" as the title hilariously suggests... that would just be adding water to water!

Someone's living in 2025 and flexing a world record that hasn't even happened yet! This fake Guinness certificate claims pi has been calculated to 300 trillion digits—which would be impressive if it weren't completely absurd. For context, the current record is around 100 trillion digits, and calculating just that many required supercomputers running for months. The most hilarious part? The certificate is dated April 2, 2025. I guess time travelers need validation too! Next time you're trying to impress your date with mathematical achievements, maybe stick to memorizing the first 10 digits instead of fabricating certificates from the future.

Planting Fake Fossils Will Give Future Biologists Headache

Planting Fake Fossils Will Give Future Biologists Headache
The ultimate scientific prank that spans millennia! These fake "fairy fossils" would send future paleontologists into a frenzy of excitement... until carbon dating reveals they're from 2023 and made of resin. The brief dopamine rush of discovering "winged humanoids" followed by the crushing realization they've been bamboozled by a time-traveling troll is *chef's kiss* diabolical. Imagine writing a whole dissertation on evolutionary divergence only to discover you've been studying someone's craft project. Carbon-14 dating would instantly expose the hoax since it can accurately measure specimens up to 50,000 years old. The perfect crime doesn't exi—oh wait, science ruins everything!

The conspiracy theorist's logic is truly something to behold. "The moon landing was faked with CGI!" they proclaim, while showing a blurry video game character that looks like it was rendered on a potato. Apparently NASA had access to technology from the future, then deliberately downgraded it to look terrible? If they had CGI this advanced in 1969, we'd all be living in The Matrix by now. Next they'll tell us the Earth is flat because they can't see a curve from their basement window.

Conspiracy theorists: "The moon landing was staged!" Engineers who designed multi-stage rockets: "Yes, that's literally how orbital mechanics works. We stage the rockets to shed mass and increase efficiency. It's basic Tsiolkovsky rocket equation stuff. Did you think we'd just... point a single tube at the moon and hope for the best?"
