DNA Base: Why 4? Why Not 2,3,5,6,7,8,9 Or 10?
Nature really said "four nucleotides should be enough for everyone" and built the entire biological world on it. Humans count with 10 fingers, computers operate in binary, but DNA just chilling with its A, T, G, C quartet like it's the most efficient coding system ever. Evolution had infinite possibilities but went with base 4 because apparently, it's the sweet spot between "too simple to store complex information" and "too complicated for reliable replication." It's like nature's compromise between data storage and error correction. The cosmic programmer clearly wasn't getting paid by the base pair!

The Academic Paywall Blues
That moment when your simple coding problem turns into a full-blown academic rabbit hole! You just wanted to know why your code isn't working, but Google's like "HERE'S 47 RESEARCH PAPERS ON ALGORITHMIC COMPLEXITY INSTEAD!" Brain meltdown imminent! The digital equivalent of asking for directions and receiving quantum physics equations. My poor neurons are chain-smoking from the stress! Next time I'll just try turning it off and on again...

The Scientific Method's Evil Twin
The scientific method's elegant progression from scattered data points to connected knowledge gets absolutely demolished in the final panel. While normal humans highlight meaningful connections with insight and wisdom, conspiracy theorists just connect everything to everything else with frantic purple markers! This perfectly captures how conspiracy thinking works - instead of finding signal in noise, they create a chaotic web where your aunt's Facebook post about chemtrails somehow proves lizard people control the Federal Reserve. It's the intellectual equivalent of throwing spaghetti at a wall and calling the mess "research."
