This is a great template for so many things

This meme-template should be titled something like "the modern education system"

My physics teacher was a hobbyist astronomer, on the morning of my birthday I got to watch mercy sun transit through his telescope.

Edit: Wikipedia link describing what I saw in the telescope: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transit_of_Mercury

If you had something else in mind please get your head out of the gutter.

Is... this a euphemism for sex? Lol. If not, it should be.

Eyy bby, want some planetary star transits?

This actually made me tear up. What the fuck is wrong with me?

You are perfectly fine, the world has gone crazy and you feel it

Haha I wish being an astronomer involved staring at the sky instead of staring into a computer screen…

I don't think the author have any idea at all about what astronomers actually do...

Perspective is everything, perception is reality.

They always say insanity is doing the same thing and expecting different results yet we respect meteorologist about how the weather would be everyday and plan our days accordingly. Science is not just towards everything. System is rigged :-p

My weird ass gifts have kept me from dying, I guess. I'm just waiting for my medal now.

.... Any day now....
