Knowledge Over Weapons: A Chemist's Priority
The scientific method has spoken! Why deploy tear gas when you can just analyze its molecular structure? Chemistry students everywhere nodding in approval. Sure, CS gas (2-chlorobenzalmalononitrile) might make you cry uncontrollably, but understanding its inorganic properties will make you smile smugly. The true power move isn't using chemicals as weapons—it's knowing exactly why they make people run away screaming. Knowledge: the ultimate flex.

Had To Go (To The Lab)
The Cinderella we never knew was secretly a chemist! While Prince Charming begs her to stay at the ball, she's got more pressing matters—an exothermic reaction waiting to be quenched back at the lab. For chemistry nerds, "quenching" is actually the process of stopping a chemical reaction by rapidly cooling it or adding a neutralizing agent. Without proper quenching, some reactions can become dangerously unstable or produce unwanted byproducts. Clearly, Cinderella's scientific priorities trump royal romance. Her glass slippers were probably just lab safety violations waiting to happen anyway!

The Ultimate Space Nerd's Dilemma
The hardest choice in the universe: fictional companionship or actual interstellar scientific legacy? Pioneer 10, launched in 1972, was the first spacecraft to traverse the asteroid belt and visit Jupiter, sending back invaluable data before continuing its journey into interstellar space. It carries a plaque with Earth's coordinates—essentially humanity's cosmic business card. Currently over 12 billion miles from Earth, its radio signals went silent in 2003, but it continues flying through space as our silent ambassador to the stars. Scientists be like: "Relationship status? I'm in a long-distance thing with a spacecraft that ghosted me 20 years ago."
