We All Grew Up With Veritasium

Behold the pinnacle of chemistry dad jokes! This brilliant pun plays on the phonetic similarity between "elephant" and "element" while showing two elephants (an "elly" and its "phant") connected by a trunk-to-mouth bond. In chemistry, covalent bonds are indeed among the strongest molecular connections, but clearly not as unbreakable as this pachyderm partnership. Chemistry students everywhere are simultaneously groaning and adding this to their collection of nerdy jokes to torture their lab partners with. Trust me, I've been torturing undergrads with jokes like this since before most of you were born.

The eternal battle between physics and philosophy summed up in one glorious bell curve! Left side: "It's 5:30 pm" guy just wants to check his watch. Middle: normal humans wondering if they'll make rent this month. Right side: two bearded intellectuals having an existential meltdown over whether time is a dimension, a priori condition, or complete nonsense. Meanwhile, physicists and philosophers are ready to throw hands over something neither can fully explain! The IQ distribution is just *chef's kiss* – turns out being either too simple OR too smart leads to the same confusion about reality. Time might be relative, but academic feuds are absolutely constant!

Einstein's dropping the ultimate physics dad joke! Instead of giving his weight in normal units, he's using "billiard joules" which isn't even a real unit of mass! The joke plays on how Einstein revolutionized our understanding of mass and energy with E=mc² (where energy equals mass times the speed of light squared). So technically, you could express mass in terms of energy units like joules—but "billiard joules" is just pure scientific wordplay. It's the physics equivalent of saying "I weigh three refrigerators and a small pony!" 😆

Oh snap! This meme is a brilliant physics-meets-Pokémon crossover! When a wild spacetime interval (η μν Δx μ Δx ν ) appears, our brave physicist trainer whips out a Lorentz transformation—the mathematical equivalent of throwing a Poké Ball at relativistic problems. But just like using a Water attack on a Water Pokémon, the Lorentz transform doesn't change the spacetime interval! That's because this mathematical beast is a relativistic invariant—it stays the same no matter what reference frame you're in! Einstein would be simultaneously laughing and nodding in approval.

Getting the right answer in math while using completely wrong methods is peak student energy! The kid confidently presents this bizarre chain of calculations (160 = 16 × 2 × 5 = 2 5 (2 2 +1) = 2 7 +2 5 ) that somehow lands on the correct answer of x+y=12. Meanwhile, the professor's face screams "I don't even know where to begin with this mathematical abomination." It's like finding treasure while following a map drawn by a drunk pirate - you've reached the X, but nobody knows how you got there!

This comic is a BRILLIANT mathematical joke disguised as life advice! The title "0/0 = 0, Proof By Comic" is the punchline to the whole setup. The comic shows three panels solving the work/life balance equation: Panel 1: "No work" = Life/0 (undefined, just like dividing by zero in math!) Panel 2: "No life" = 0/Work (equals zero, mathematically correct!) Panel 3: "Perfect balance" = 0/0 (which is actually an indeterminate form in math, not zero!) The joke is that the character achieves "perfect balance" by having zero work AND zero life (meditating in the clouds), which mathematically is 0/0. But 0/0 isn't actually equal to 0 in mathematics - it's an indeterminate form that makes mathematicians pull their hair out! Every math professor just felt a disturbance in the force! 😂
