Because nothing says "I respect you" like naming your offspring after a facility that detected ripples in spacetime! Plus, your kid will have the coolest initials for monogrammed lab coats! Scientists: solving parenting problems with excessive syllables since forever!

The scientific wordplay here is absolutely brilliant! On the left we have Diplococcus (now officially renamed Neisseria gonorrhoeae), the bacterial culprit behind gonorrhea, shown in its characteristic paired spherical form under electron microscopy. On the right is Diplodocus, the massive long-necked dinosaur from the Jurassic period that definitely did NOT cause STIs! 😂 The meme plays on the similar-sounding scientific names while highlighting their hilariously opposite attributes. One's microscopic and problematic for human health, the other was 80+ feet long and extinct for about 150 million years. Thank goodness we only have to worry about one of these in modern dating!
