Plasticmelt Memes

Every chemistry student knows that sinking feeling when plastic meets Bunsen burner. The facial expressions here are perfect - you've got the proud culprit in the middle boasting about their latest lab equipment casualty ("Me melting my chem lab gear"), while their lab partner looks absolutely dead inside from witnessing yet another weighboat sacrifice to the chemistry gods. Meanwhile, the TA's sign might as well say "I'm not paid enough for this." The title's subtle correction that "It Was Actually A Weighboat That Melted" is that classic moment when you're desperately trying to minimize the damage report. "No no, I didn't melt the $500 beaker... just this $0.10 piece of plastic!" Chemistry labs: where precision matters everywhere except when you're placing your equipment near open flames.
