I am not smart enough to get this. Can someone please explain it like I’m a 60 year old man with the wrong science degree?

It’s a cell biology joke about the ubiquitin system.

Others can correct me if I’m wrong (pls do this isnt my area), but in normal cell biology, you usually tag the misfolded or regulated proteins for destruction. Here, the meme brags that they’ve been tagging properly folded proteins instead.
