Solution Memes

Chemistry wordplay at its finest! In scientific terms, a solution is a homogeneous mixture where one substance dissolves in another. Ethanol (drinking alcohol) literally forms solutions when mixed with other liquids. But of course, some desperate undergrads and tenured professors alike have been known to claim alcohol is also a solution to their research problems, grant rejections, and publication woes. The beautiful double entendre that only gets funnier after your third failed experiment of the day. Just remember kids, while ethanol might dissolve your compounds, it won't dissolve your dissertation deadline.

Behold the magnificent chemical wordplay! In the streets, alcohol might be a societal problem, but in my laboratory? IT'S LITERALLY A SOLUTION! *maniacal chemistry laughter* You see, dear science enthusiasts, in chemistry, a solution is a homogeneous mixture where one substance dissolves in another. Ethanol (C₂H₅OH) dissolves beautifully in water, creating—you guessed it—a solution! It's the kind of joke that makes chemists snort into their Erlenmeyer flasks.
