Remember science class? What about those huge textbooks that came along with the experience? It turns out that there are a lot of adults reminiscing about their school days, and they are bringing the books back out for a trip down memory lane.
However, a lot of what theyโre finding is actually downright comical. Science book writers may not have much of a sense of humor when it comes to keeping the science accurate, but we do.
These are hilarious.
#1 Getting started
There are so many of these discoveries that they actually inspired a Twitter account called Science Diagrams that Look Like Shitposts.
It currently has more than 750,000 followers.
