The Scientific Method Applies Everywhere

The superhero we need but don't deserve: Batman, defender of proper antibiotic usage! Nothing triggers a scientist faster than hearing someone request antibiotics for a viral infection. Might as well try to put out a fire with gasoline. This medical misconception is why we're breeding superbugs more terrifying than any comic book villain. Antibiotic resistance is coming for us all, and apparently, even Batman has had enough of this nonsense.

Want to keep your sandwich fresh but also terrify your coworkers? Simply transfer all the mold to a separate bag! It's basically microbiology's version of "sweep it under the rug." The green spots just needed their own zip code. Revolutionary food preservation technique that absolutely no microbiologist would approve of. Next week: how to separate bacteria from your yogurt using only a strainer and wishful thinking!

When you accidentally set fire to your spacecraft and Einstein and Hawking have to physically restrain you from panicking! This is basically how NASA trains astronauts for emergencies—minus the time-traveling genius scientists. Fire in space is actually terrifying because it forms perfect spheres instead of going upward (no convection in microgravity) and can spread invisibly. But sure, just "calm down" while your oxygen-rich environment turns into a floating death trap. The physicists know best!

Chemistry pun perfection! This comic shows a helium atom (He) walking into a bar where the bartender refuses to serve "noble gases." The punchline? "Helium doesn't react" - which works on TWO levels! Chemically, helium is a noble gas that refuses to form bonds with other elements because its electron shell is complete. But in the comic, helium also doesn't emotionally "react" to being rejected from the bar! Noble gases are basically the introverts of the periodic table - they've got all the electrons they need and aren't interested in sharing. Talk about commitment issues!

Throwing gang signs? Nah, we're throwing vector notations. The right-hand rule just got street cred. Your index finger points in the B-field direction, middle finger shows the F-force, and thumb indicates velocity. Next time someone asks about cross products, just flash this and walk away. Physics street smarts - where the only drive-bys are electrons moving through magnetic fields.

Desperate times call for desperate measures! Students setting up a literal shrine to Newton with apples as offerings before a physics exam is peak academic paganism. As if Newton's ghost will whisper "F=ma" into their ears during the test. The irony is that if Newton saw this, he'd probably be more offended by the subpar quality of those apples than flattered by the worship. Pro tip: no amount of fruit will save you from the second law of thermodynamics... or the second law of failing exams without studying.
