Correlation Equals Causation Equals Death

Doctors: "Googling doesn't make you a professional!" Meanwhile, the entire tech industry is just a bunch of professionals frantically Googling solutions on Stack Overflow! Scientists, engineers, and basically anyone with a computer are all secretly playing the "let me Google that real quick" game. The truth is out—modern expertise is 10% knowledge, 90% knowing exactly what to search for! Next time your doctor scoffs, just remember they probably Googled "how to talk to patients who Google symptoms" right before your appointment.

Oh sweet summer undergrad! You thought running experiments was the fun part? *cackles maniacally* The REAL relationship-breaker in science isn't collecting samples at 3 AM - it's the soul-crushing weeks of data analysis afterward! Nothing says "I love you" like telling someone they've only completed 50% of their scientific journey. That tearful smile in the last panel? That's the face of someone who just realized they'll be spending their weekend with spreadsheets instead of actual sheets!

The classic chemistry lab expectation vs. reality! What starts as "just a quick liquid-liquid extraction" turns into a four-hour nightmare when those stubborn emulsions form. Any chemist knows the pain of staring hopelessly at that separation funnel, watching two liquids that should neatly separate instead form a stubborn middle layer that refuses to budge. You promised your lab partner a 20-minute adventure, but now you're both trapped in extraction purgatory, questioning your life choices and possibly the laws of physical chemistry. The separation funnel has become your personal time-sucking portal to frustration.

When your PB&J sandwich costs more than your rent! Sigma-Aldrich really out here charging $1,830 for peanut butter because it's a "standard reference material." That's not lunch—that's a down payment on a car! Chemistry researchers nodding silently because they know the pain of seeing basic substances with scientific-grade markups that would make luxury brands blush. The struggle between wanting accurate results and not bankrupting the lab continues...

Every chemist's daily prayer! This collection of beakers is giving me serious anxiety. One slip and you've got a semester's worth of glassware budget shattered on the floor. NileRed (popular chemistry YouTuber) knows the struggle - spending hours on a synthesis only to watch your precious reaction vessel commit suicide at the final step. Chemistry isn't just about balancing equations; it's about ninja-level reflexes when that $200 piece of glassware decides to test gravity.

Technically correct, the best kind of correct. This graph isn't revealing some miraculous public health breakthrough—it's just pointing out that people stop being classified as "teens" after age 19. The dramatic drop is simply a definitional cliff, not a medical miracle. It's like saying "death rates among the living remain at 0%." Statistics: where correlation, causation, and common sense go to battle it out in a cage match.
