Nitrogen oxide Memes

Google's search results just delivered the most perfect chemistry pun ever! When asked for the formula of nitrogen oxide, it simply responds with "NO" (which is literally the chemical formula). Then for sodium hypobromite? "NaBrO" (Na-Bro). And finally, sodium hydride gives us "NaH" (Nah). It's like the periodic table developed an attitude problem and started responding to homework questions with teenage sass. The chemical formulas ARE the dismissive responses! Even electrons wouldn't bond with this level of rejection.

When Google's chemistry answers read like passive-aggressive text messages. First it responds with "NO" to nitrogen oxide, then "NaH" (sounds like "nah") for sodium hydride, and finally "NaBrO" (sounds like "nah, bro") for sodium hypobromite. The search engine's gradually increasing sass is the perfect example of why chemists should trust their textbooks instead of search engines with attitude problems.

When you're a Supreme Court Justice but also a chemistry nerd in crisis! The meme shows the dilemma between nitrous oxide (N₂O, laughing gas) and nitrogen oxide (NO, a signaling molecule). The joke hinges on a famous 2022 Supreme Court case where Justice Gorsuch couldn't distinguish between "a" and "the" in a legal text, leading to a controversial ruling. Just like those nearly identical chemical formulas, small differences in wording can have massive consequences—whether you're interpreting the law or mixing chemicals in a lab. One gets you high at the dentist, the other... not so much!
