  At my school, they showed a video about all the different parts of the cell where each part was a character with a different “job” and looking back it was pretty racist. I specifically remember that the Lysosome was a garbage man with a Mexican accent. Very cool science video for children… very cool 🫤

  One of my profs described the nucleus as the “power house of cell operation”. You could just about measure the speed of sound by tracking the wave of students’ faces transitioning to pure confusion.

  Some chaotic evil shit right there. That mofo knew exactly what he was doing.

    As they say, out with the old, in with the nucleus.

  In a round about way isnt it accurate though? Biological potential energy that gets created/saved/processed in the mitochondria is eventually turned to power the moment the cell uses that potential energy for work.

  I don’t know if I simply didn’t get that in biology, or if I was just bad at biology (I passed with a D).

    It varies. I didn’t get the phrase parroted at me until in college, when the professor was making fun of the phrase. I bet it was some slide that was created by a teaching board or textbook maker, and just copied ad nauseam.
