33 Hilarious Science Memes for People Who Love Science but Flunked Math

I've always had a philosophical issue with numbers. It's not that I'm bad at math (although, spoiler alert: I am), it's that the concept of numbers doesn't fully make sense to me. My mom loves telling the story of how she tried teaching me addition when I was a little kid. She lined up some apples and started explaining: "This is one apple." Sure, fine. Then she placed a second apple next to it and said, "Now we have two apples." That's when my brain short-circuited.

"Is it because they're next to each other?" I asked. My mom sighed, "No, it's just… two apples… together. That's just how numbers work. anyway, if I add another one it's three apples" At this point, I asked if I'd have to memorize all the new words for every possible combination of apples. She laughed; I did not. To this day, I struggle with the idea that "two" even exists. Either something is, or it isn't—1s and 0s. Honestly, the philosophers out there might agree with me.

Anyway, these 33 science memes are for people like me—those who love the concept of science but prefer laughing at the universe's mysteries instead of solving them with math. Enjoy!
