The Bell Curve Of Scientific Pedantry
The bell curve of intelligence strikes again. Those with average IQs (the peak of the curve) confidently declare "Earth is a sphere." Meanwhile, both the lowest and highest IQ individuals insist "Earth is not a sphere." The difference? The low-IQ folks think it's flat, while the high-IQ intellectuals know it's technically an oblate spheroid—bulging at the equator due to rotation. Nothing like spending 8 years getting a PhD just to be the "well, actually" person at parties who can't let anyone enjoy simplified models of reality.

That's Not How The Periodic Table Works!
Chemistry nerds unite! That internal screaming when movies invent magical metals like Vibranium or Unobtanium that break every law of chemistry! 😂 The periodic table has 118 elements—that's it! No secret element 119 hiding in Wakanda or Pandora. Hollywood screenwriters just slap "ium" on the end of a word and suddenly it can do everything from absorb kinetic energy to power flying mountains! Next time you watch a sci-fi movie, count how many fictional elements you hear. It's the ultimate drinking game for chemists! Your liver might not survive Captain America's shield explanation though...

The Periodic Table Doesn't Have A Secret Menu
The periodic table is literally a complete catalog of all elements that exist in our universe. There's no secret menu, folks! Sci-fi writers love inventing magical elements with names like "Unobtainium" or "Vibranium" that supposedly aren't on the periodic table, but that's like saying "I discovered a new color that isn't in the visible spectrum" and then just pointing at purple. If you're going to break physics, at least come up with a better excuse than "we found element #119 and it makes spaceships fly." Just say it's alien technology powered by the tears of chemistry teachers everywhere!
