Because part 1 got a lot more popular than I thought and also my profs are hilarious <3

[part 1]

"ideal gases don't *actually* exist - nothing is ideal. Except chemists. Especially the ones in this classroom"

[looks at his own ppt slide in confusion] "where's Mr carbon?"

"what can we do when we have an integral of sum? Split it into sum of integrals! What can we do when we have an integral of difference? Split it into difference of integrals! What can we do when we have an integral of a product? Cry!"

"that's what trees use chemistry for: telling one another, 'Hey buddy! I'm being eaten by pests!'"

"we all know how soap is made. Has anyone here ever spilled sodium hydroxide on their hands by accident? [Me: I have. It felt like having soap on my fingers.] Yeah! Humans are kind of like soap!"

"cotton lab coats only! No synthetics! That way if your friend catches fire, you can put them out with your lab coat!"

"what's next? [Student: "Differential equations"] Gross."

[across lab] "NO!!! THAT'S CONCENTRATED ACID!!"

"we're allowed to do this, the matrix won't be angry"

"this faculty is famous for having blown up twice"

i take things literally. i don’t get a lot of neurotypical humor and often feel left out of the joke or even feel like i’m the joke sometimes. i’m gullible. there’s no way to sugarcoat it or put it more nicely, i’m just gullible. i don’t always know what’s satire. i’m socially awkward and have a hard time befriending or remaining friends with anybody who isn’t like me.

much of the autism community puts so much emphasis on “all autistic people aren’t x” and not enough on “who cares if we’re x, we deserve rights”
