Calculus: Where Sanity Goes To Die

Started with legitimate trig derivatives, ended with existential crisis. That cotangent formula featuring "e to the pi i" multiplied by "computer science" is pure mathematical blasphemy. But the final derivative—"who cares"—is the most mathematically accurate formula on that board. That's calculus hitting the depression phase of the semester. Thirty years of teaching and I still can't decide if this professor is having a breakdown or achieving enlightenment.

Midnight Chemistry: Not Crackhead Behavior, Just PFAS Epiphany

That's not crackhead behavior—that's a chemist having a midnight epiphany about perfluoroalcohols! Someone stumbled upon the molecular structure of PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances), those notoriously persistent "forever chemicals." The desperate whiteboard scribbling shows the carbon-fluorine bonds that make these compounds so stable they practically never break down in nature. The security guard probably thought they discovered a meth recipe, but nope—just a scientist having a fluorine-induced breakthrough at 2AM. Chemistry doesn't care about your sleep schedule!
