He Actually Looks Normal In The Deep Sea

He Actually Looks Normal In The Deep Sea
Poor blobfish! The ultimate victim of bad PR and pressure changes. Down in the deep sea (3,000 feet below), these guys are normal-looking fish swimming around with proper fish dignity. But drag them up to the surface, and the extreme pressure change basically turns them into melted fish pudding. It's like taking a human to space without a spacesuit and then saying "wow, humans sure are ugly when their bodily fluids are boiling!" The marine biology equivalent of judging someone by their worst hangover photo. Justice for blobfish!

Gravity Doesn't Work That Way, Karen

Gravity Doesn't Work That Way, Karen
The spectacular failure of physics understanding here is just *chef's kiss*. The post completely ignores that Saturn's rings exist because of the planet's massive gravitational field PLUS being outside the Roche limit (the distance where tidal forces prevent particles from coalescing into larger bodies). Humans don't have nearly enough mass to create a gravitational field strong enough to sustain orbiting particles. If we did, we'd have bigger problems than dirt rings—like collapsing into black holes during holiday dinner. The irony of an account called "Science Buster" demonstrating zero understanding of basic orbital mechanics is the gravitational pull my sense of humor needed today.

Snow Can't Take The Heat!

Snow Can't Take The Heat!
Ah, the classic "90 degrees = hot" joke that makes physicists groan and mathematicians chuckle. What we're witnessing is thermal conductivity in action—tile corners create thermal bridges where heat transfers more efficiently. After 40 years studying materials science, I can confirm that corners don't melt snow because they're "90 degrees hot"... they melt it because they're junction points where heat flows from multiple directions. The commenter's confidence is inversely proportional to their understanding of thermodynamics. Reminds me of my undergraduate students who'd confidently explain quantum mechanics after watching one YouTube video.
