The 'Kemist' meme is a popular variation of the 'Stonks' surreal meme series, featuring the iconic 3D-rendered character Meme Man wearing a lab coat and safety goggles. It is primarily used to mock individuals who perform very basic tasks or questionable 'hacks' and believe they have achieved a level of scientific mastery. Like its predecessor 'Stonks,' the humor relies on the intentional misspelling of the word 'Chemist' and the character's signature blank stare. Since its rise on Reddit in late 2019, the template has become a staple for reacting to DIY fails, kitchen experiments, and any situation where someone overestimates their technical expertise.
