The Elemental Extortion

The existential crisis when your chemistry supplier quotes you $200 for a tiny vial of bromine. Nothing says "questioning your career choices" quite like SpongeBob's horrified face at lab supply prices! Chemistry students and researchers everywhere know that special feeling when the cost of reagents makes you wonder if you should've just become a philosophy major instead. The dramatic "malice of the hearts of men" text perfectly captures that moment when you realize science funding doesn't account for your will to live.

The meme perfectly captures Mr. Krabs (the ultimate capitalist crustacean) swimming in money while charging $10 to ship a single screw—a screw that probably costs 12 cents. The worst part? When your research deadline is tomorrow, you'll happily pay the $40 overnight fee while silently calculating how many ramen packets that equals. The scientific supply chain: where a tiny piece of metal is somehow worth its weight in gold!
