From Cherry Pop To Chemical Warfare: A Lab Safety Nightmare
When kitchen chemistry goes horribly wrong! Mixing paint thinner (which contains volatile organic compounds) with cherry soda creates phosgene gas - a literal WWI chemical weapon. But wait, it gets worse! The would-be MacGyver's solution? Use CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons) - the stuff banned worldwide for destroying our ozone layer! This is what happens when you skip the safety chapter in chemistry class and go straight to "how to accidentally commit war crimes while trying to make fancy soda." The road to global catastrophe is paved with cherry-flavored intentions!

When Mom Says We Have ATLAS At Home
When you're begging for the fancy ATLAS detector at CERN but Mom points to the cosmic ray detector you cobbled together in the basement! 😂 The top shows the complex ATLAS particle detector used at the Large Hadron Collider to smash protons and discover exotic particles like the Higgs boson. Meanwhile, "at home" is just a basic cosmic ray track visualization that's basically the particle physics equivalent of a potato battery science project. Budget particle physics is still particle physics, I guess? *maniacal scientist laughter*
