Rare Memes

That face when you hit the perfect endpoint in titration—a moment so rare it belongs in a chemistry textbook. Most of us are out here adding that one extra drop that turns the solution from clear to "congratulations, you've ruined everything." Getting that phenolphthalein to turn just the right shade of pink is like threading a needle while riding a unicycle. In 15 years of teaching, I've seen students celebrate this achievement like they've discovered a new element. Meanwhile, I'm just impressed when they don't set off the fire alarm.

Finding a pristine 3L beaker in the lab is like spotting a unicorn! 🧪✨ This meme plays on those "like for good luck" social media posts but with a chemistry twist. The 10^-14 seconds (that's 0.00000000000001 seconds) is a nod to how quickly these rare lab treasures disappear - probably the exact amount of time between finding it and your labmate claiming it! Every chemist knows the struggle of hunting through cabinets for that perfect-sized glassware that isn't chipped, cloudy, or mysteriously stained with something you'd rather not identify. Treasure these moments, fellow scientists!
