#stem problems

[bod-5arts]

I'm so glad I study art and I'm not in stem

If I get important at my job I get many drawings to do for tomorrow

If a stem person gets important at their job they get sedated and sent to space

Today on Haven is a science major is watching sci fi:

THEY SUGGESTED MOVING A WHOLE PLANET VIA TELEPORTATION WITHOUT THE FUCKING MOON

Yeah it was kinda rush job but like THE WHOLE FUCKING PLANET

They did not actually move the planet bc the plan fell apart but like C'MON

Me: Ugh why is so much of my geology and evolutionary bio classes dedicated to proving why geological time is real/ evolution is real. I already understand this stuff come on.

Me: *gets on the internet*

Me: *living through year two of a 2 week pandemic*

Me: ah.

Chemistry day 1: Stuff is made of atoms!! :) Cool and simple!!1 :)))

Chemistry 3/4 through the the semester: Did I tell you everything you know about the universe is WRONG.

My doctor, 30 years from now: Ma’am I’m sorry to tell you this but you have lung cancer.

Me, thinking back to all the times I talked myself into believing my agarose gel was cool enough to add ethidium bromide without vaporizing some of it: What that’s so odd I can’t imagine what I got exposed to

Had a analytical chemistry lab today. The lab professor gave us a sample to analyze and there were specific elements we would be testing for. She said that if we had Sb in the tube then we would observe a sediment in the tube after adding chemical reactant and heating it. If Hg was present in the sample then the sediment would be black. If we didn't, it would be orange. The sediment in my test tube was orange. But afterwards I conducted the specific test for Hg and it was present too.

The lab professor kept track of what cations were present in each student's tube and said both were present.

Me: why the hell my sediment wasn't black like everyone else's who had both Sb and Hg in their solution?

Professor:let me analyze you fifty potential reasons why and also tell you we can't ever know for sure because nobody cares to search about it, the sole purpose of this exercise is to familiarise students with lab techniques,we aren't actually conducting experiments

Someone, anyone, get me out if these lab!!!

No offense but why are men so much easier to work with than women

STEM Major Problems

Listening to @dehydrated-and-depressed and @linguistic-stroke having a really engaged and in depth conversation about liberal arts topics like post-culturalism and deconstructionism and existentialism and a variety of other isms. 

And I’m over here trying to follow the convo like:
