Can You Induce What Is Induction?
The ultimate battle of logical reasoning! On the left, mathematical induction shows off with its domino effect—proving something works for all numbers by showing it works for one case and then proving each step leads to the next. Meanwhile, science induction is just a white pigeon confidently declaring "all ravens are black." Congratulations, you've discovered the whitest counterexample possible! This perfectly captures why scientists need more than just "I've seen it a bunch of times, must be universal law." Next up: discovering gravity doesn't exist because I once saw a helium balloon float upward.

The Blue Sheep Of The Family
Ever seen that one relative who just doesn't match the family aesthetic? That's the Blue Jay in the Corvid family! While crows and ravens rock their goth look with black plumage and dramatic vibes, the Blue Jay shows up to the family reunion in bright blue feathers like it's going to a beach party! 🐦 Fun bird nerd fact: Blue Jays, crows, and ravens are all part of the Corvidae family in taxonomy. They're actually super intelligent birds that can use tools, recognize human faces, and hold grudges. The Blue Jay just decided to be the family rebel with its fashion choices!

Proof That All Ravens Are Black
This is a brilliant jab at the contrapositive logical fallacy in science! The title "Proof That All Ravens Are Black" paired with a photo of colorful apples is a perfect illustration of Hempel's Paradox in logic. The paradox states that "All ravens are black" is logically equivalent to "All non-black things are non-ravens." So technically, every green, red, and yellow apple here (being non-black objects that are also non-ravens) actually supports the statement that all ravens are black! It's the kind of twisted logic that makes perfect sense mathematically while being completely ridiculous in practice. Next time someone asks for evidence, just show them something completely unrelated and claim it's proof by contraposition!
