Spotify Wrapped: Lab Edition

Spotify Wrapped: Lab Edition
Spotify Wrapped for chemists just hits different! Before pipette bulbs and safety protocols became mainstream, scientists were out here practically French-kissing their experiments into glassware. Nothing says "I trust my lab technique" like directly sampling whatever mystery compound you're working with. The 7.2 hours of mouthpipetting puts you in the elite 0.0001% - congratulations on the cancer risk and potential poisoning! Next year's goal: survive long enough to make it into the mouthpipetting hall of fame. Safety officers everywhere are having collective panic attacks.

Stop Doing Hardware Description Languages

Stop Doing Hardware Description Languages
The eternal war between hardware purists and software developers just hit DEFCON 1! This meme is basically the grumpy manifesto of an old-school electronic engineer who's had it with Hardware Description Languages (HDLs) like VHDL and Verilog. They're practically screaming "back in my day, we designed circuits with REAL tools!" while clutching their beloved breadboards and Karnaugh maps. It's the engineering equivalent of yelling at clouds. The punchline about asking for "apples please" is chef's kiss - suggesting modern HDL approaches are so disconnected from reality they can't even perform basic tasks. Meanwhile, the creator is conveniently ignoring that those fancy circuit boards they're showing were probably designed with... wait for it... HDL software! This is peak engineering humor - the passionate rant of someone who thinks object-oriented programming in hardware design is a sign of the apocalypse. Next they'll be telling us how they walked uphill both ways to the lab, carrying breadboards through snowstorms!
