The Minimal Effort Lab Protocol
The quintessential lab slacker's manifesto! Nothing says "I technically showed up" like the performative washing of a single beaker before sneaking out. It's the scientific equivalent of signing the attendance sheet and immediately heading for the exit. Every PI knows this trick, but we're all too buried in grant applications to call you out on it. The farmer's "honest work" meme just perfects the irony — because there's nothing remotely honest about this classic lab evasion technique that's been passed down through generations of undergrads since the Bunsen burner was cutting-edge technology.

Everyone's A Computational Chemist Now
The pandemic really dried up the lab experience! With chemistry labs forced online, students went from hands-on experiments to clicking buttons on virtual simulations. No more feeling that rush when your titration hits the perfect endpoint—just a moisture meter reading "DRY" as your chemistry education withers away on a screen. Who needs actual chemicals when you can just drag and drop molecules in a simulation? Real computational chemists are crying in their quantum mechanics equations while students think running ChemDraw makes them the next Nobel laureate!

The Three Routes Of Despair
The textbook: "But the chemists in Paris who made these three routes..." Chemistry students: *intensely examining green liquid while questioning their life choices* Nothing hits quite like that moment when you're staring at a mysterious green solution wondering if those Parisian chemists were geniuses or just really good at making students suffer. Those safety goggles aren't protecting you from the existential crisis of organic synthesis pathways!

Existential Crisis: Physics Lab Edition
When your circuit refuses to work and suddenly you're contemplating the universe's greatest mystery: why you chose physics instead of literally anything else! Those differential equations on the board aren't calculating your happiness levels, that's for sure. The existential crisis hits hardest when you're surrounded by wires that make more connections than your social life. Somewhere between Ohm's Law and the third hour of troubleshooting, you realize that resistance isn't just a physical property—it's your soul fighting against another lab report!
