Bronsted-Lowry/Brønsted–Lowry Acid-Base Theory

An acid/base definition that suggests an Brønsted–Lowry acid is any molecule that can donate a proton, and a Brønsted–Lowry base is any molecule that accepts the proton. Protons can be referred to as H+ or "hydrogen ions," so if you see those terms used in a textbook they all mean the same thing. When a Brønsted–Lowry acid gives its proton away, it is "deprotonated" and can now accept a proton; now that it has become an acceptor, it is referred to as a conjugate base. The same rule applies to Brønsted–Lowry bases: once they gain a proton (are protonated), they are known as conjugate acids.
student: i'm a little confused with this functional group. the reading says that the carboxylic acid (COOH) group loses its proton, H, making the formula COO−. now that there's a space on the oxygen that's vacant, could the group accept a proton in the empty space? wouldn't that make the group a base?
teacher: yeah, acids turn into things known as conjugate bases when they lose hydrogen ions. the space where a proton used to be is now available for bonding, and the group or molecule becomes a proton acceptor/Brønsted–Lowry base
that's how you use the Bronsted-Lowry/Brønsted–Lowry Acid-Base Theory

Theory of Mind

Hey! Look at that! Simon Baron-Cohen episode! Finally! It's all coming full circle- It's coming back around! Yeah...
Hym "Heeeey! Simon. Look at that! Look at this! I can't believe I didn't see that initially. I probably would have watched that one sooner. That's what I should call my book, by the way. 'Theory of Mind: Mind-Brain duality and why determinism is fucking retarded.' I'm glad your here. Now you can tell Jordan I'm not being immature and you can tell everyone that they're doing empathy to me wrong. Additionally, the weaponized schizophrenia is something you should really be concerned about AND... The lack of me getting credit and payment is getting dangerously child-murdery! So yeah..."

Level 11 Theory

In Clash Royale, every player who uses an annoying or overpowered strategy is somehow always has a Level 11 king tower, or the opponent is also Level 11 but their card levels are not as high. Level 11 is one of the last levels before real skill is needed to play the game, which is why many players use overpowered decks full of splash-damage cards to get a quick win, but eventually hit a wall of actually good players. Level 11 Theory also extends to a player's spending on the game, often having level 13 or higher cards through excessive spending in the shop.

Alongside this, the phrase "Level 11 Theory" is often commented on Clash Royale short-form content in which every tower and troop is at level 11. This isn't because both players in the match have only reached level 11 for their cards, but rather that they are playing a friendly match (friendly matches have every card at level 11 for both sides) and whatever is shown in the video is likely staged for views.
Dave: Bro, I just hit King Level 11 and now every match is against some spammy jackass with Level 14 E-barbs and Wizard. I

Alive Internet Theory

The opposite theory of the dead internet theorem.
The theory states that even in spite of disappearing original media, dead sites and the erosion of time a subset of people will always interact to uphold, continue and carry on the media they know and even continue to produce media based off of it.
A: "Bro why do you even watch so much porn, have you ever heard of dead internet theory, in 10 years all of these videos will have vanished!"
B: " Nah bro, I'm trying to hopemaxx and believe in Alive Internet Theory, you're such a downer"
