Plant extracts Memes

That's not how genetic engineering works, buddy! This meme hilariously captures the scientific equivalent of "if I eat enough carrots, I'll eventually turn orange." Horizontal gene transfer—the process where organisms transfer genetic material to other organisms without being parents—doesn't quite work by just injecting yourself with plant juice! The character's hopeful thinking that repeatedly injecting plant extracts will somehow grant them photosynthetic powers is peak scientific wishful thinking. Imagine skipping millions of years of evolution with a few DIY syringes! The burnt food images below just add that perfect "my experiments are going great!" chef's kiss to the scientific delusion.
