This Can't Be Real
Someone's definitely having fun with scientific terminology here! What you're looking at is a classic example of made-up "scientific" nonsense that perfectly mimics the tone of actual biology textbooks. The "horngus," "scungle," and "dillsack (the nutte sac)" are completely fabricated terms applied to what appears to be an actual dogfish embryo. Real marine biologists are currently screaming internally. It's like someone crashed a biology conference wearing a lab coat made of construction paper and nobody stopped them. The citation "[77]" is the chef's kiss of academic parody - making this absurdity look properly referenced!

Stay Hydrated, But Make It Fancy
The scientific snob in all of us! This meme perfectly captures how we evolve from normies saying "water" to full-blown pretentious scientists calling it "ocean sauce." It's that beautiful progression from basic hydration to unnecessarily complex terminology that every science major experiences by senior year. The increasingly fancy Pooh represents our growing vocabulary as we desperately try to sound smarter than we actually are. Hâ‚‚O? Too mainstream. By the time you're wearing a monocle, you're definitely referring to dihydrogen monoxide as "beach liquid" at conferences just to watch people nod knowingly.

The Perils Of Scientific Search Terms
The eternal struggle of scientific research! Someone innocently searches for "sonic choking" (a legitimate fluid dynamics concept where flow reaches the speed of sound), only to be bombarded with... um... cartoon hedgehog content of questionable nature. 😂 This is the perfect illustration of why scientists need specific terminology in search queries. "Sonic choking fluid dynamics" saves the day! Pro tip: Always add your field name to avoid the weird corners of the internet during research. The internet never fails to remind us it's a wild place, even when you're just trying to study supersonic flow!

Too Afraid To Ask About Gauge Theory
The circular reasoning of gauge theory is the perfect inside joke for theoretical physicists. They named a mathematical framework after a word that means "standard measure," then used that same word to describe the invariance property within the theory. It's like naming your cat "Cat" and then being surprised when people don't understand your dissertation on "Cat Theory." The beauty is that by the time you've studied enough physics to encounter gauge theory, you're already too deep in the academic rabbit hole to question the nomenclature.

The Drake Formula Police
The cosmic grammar police have struck again! The top panel shows someone saying "Drake format" (the incorrect term) while looking disapproving, but the bottom panel shows the proper scientific terminology: "Drake formula " with an approving smile. The equation N = R*Fpneflfifc L is the actual Drake equation used to estimate the number of active, communicative extraterrestrial civilizations in our galaxy. It's that moment when you're at a party trying to sound smart about aliens, and someone corrects your terminology with the precision of a neurosurgeon handling a supernova. The astronomical equivalent of someone correcting your "there" to "they're" in the comments section of the universe!

Science Isn't Magic Kids (Except When It Is)
Look at those scientists showing off with their fancy "stability of nuclei" while secretly relying on "magic numbers" to explain why certain atomic nuclei are super stable! Nuclear physics isn't supposed to sound like a Harry Potter spell book, yet here we are with these suspiciously convenient numbers (2, 8, 20, 28, 50, 82, 126) that make atoms extra stable. The flex tape can't fix the irony of calling something "magic" while insisting it's pure science! Next thing you know, they'll be waving calculators like wands and calling quantum tunneling "atomic apparition"!

Not Even Chemistry Was Safe
The meme shows cis and trans isomers in organic chemistry, but with political commentary. It's a clever wordplay on chemical terminology that's been hijacked by culture wars! In chemistry, "cis" means atoms are on the same side of a double bond, while "trans" means they're on opposite sides. These are just spatial arrangements of molecules that chemists have used since the 1800s. Now the poor dichloroethene molecule can't even exist in peace without someone making it political! Chemistry nerds are silently screaming at their structural formulas being dragged into internet debates.
