Salt beds Memes

Ever notice how salt mines and post-apocalyptic fantasies go together like sodium and chloride? This gem is playing with the fact that salt crystals (especially halite from places like New Mexico's salt beds) can look eerily similar to those fancy glowing minerals in video games that power magical weapons or restore health points! The joke brilliantly merges geological reality with gaming tropes - that wide-eyed expression is exactly what you'd have after surviving 10,000 years of societal collapse only to discover what you think is a rare resource... but is actually just crystallized table salt. Pro survival tip: don't lick the "magic" rocks unless you're prepared for a very salty disappointment.
