Carrying out chemistry work, such as coursework for a qualification.

The only natural science that can be broken down into the categories "making drugs" and "blowing stuff up". Unfortunately, chemistry isn't all fun and games, mostly because of chemistry teachers, who are always bitching about things like "significant figures" and "molality versus molarity".

1. the art of pretending to be a noble gas

2. an agonizing high school class designed to teach students about definition 1

A class required in high school designed to make your day shit. The driest assholes from your nearest community college are rounded up and given worksheets to keep for their entire teaching career, of which they make endless copies and in an orgy of sadistic joy they throw them at you and tell you to learn. Chemistry itself if the science of the smallest fucking shit in the universe that just so happens to require the most detailed math problems. If you know what you're doing, you probably don't.

Gods cruel practical joke for college kids.

A school subject that teaches the alert young anarchist how to make primative explosive devices.

Chemistry is the process of torturing high school students into freaking out and consequently dropping out of school.
