They Aren't Wrong: Lasers At The Speed Of Light

They Aren't Wrong: Lasers At The Speed Of Light
Oh my goodness, this is BRILLIANT! Someone took a banana with a hole in it and captioned it as "Army's newest weapon that can fire lasers at the speed of light." And technically... they're not wrong! Lasers ARE light, so they literally HAVE to travel at the speed of light! That's just physics 101! It's like saying "new water gun that shoots wet liquid" or "revolutionary fire that produces heat." The banana-as-weapon aesthetic just makes the scientific redundancy even more hilarious. I'm dying at how they turned fruit into military hardware through the power of technically correct science!

Aqueous Water: The Ultimate Chemical Redundancy

Aqueous Water: The Ultimate Chemical Redundancy
The four phases of water? Boring. But aqueous water ? Now that's where chemistry gets ridiculous. H 2 O(aq) literally means "water dissolved in water" - it's like saying "wet wetness" or "liquid liquidness." First-year chem students everywhere are having existential crises over this redundant notation. It's the chemical equivalent of saying ATM machine or PIN number. The face in the last panel perfectly captures that moment when you realize your professor wasn't joking about "aqueous water" being a legitimate term in your textbook. Chemistry: where we make simple things needlessly confusing since 1754.

The Evolutionary Design Committee Had Mixed Results

The Evolutionary Design Committee Had Mixed Results
The moment when anatomy class shatters your illusions about human perfection. Sure, we've got kidneys that pick up slack when one fails and a liver that regenerates like it's showing off, but then we've got a windpipe and food pipe sharing the same entrance like some cosmic architectural joke. Evolution really phoned it in on that one. "Let's give them redundant organs AND a single point of failure where they can choke on a sandwich!" Thanks, natural selection. Maybe spend less time on the appendix next round and more on not letting us die from enthusiastic bread consumption.
