Is it:
  • a mockery of flat earthers?
  • an example of a chart?
  • a demonstration of derivatives?
  • a counterexample of argumentum a minori ad maius?
  • a counterexample of an induction?
  • a demonstration of the difference between a stable and an unstable equilibrium?
  • a home accident waiting to happen?

Google translate tells me "tempus clepta" means "a thief" in Latin. Maybe you meant to say Telefono movil?

Haha, you actually googled for it :oldbiggrin:. I tried to come up with a latin version of "time thief" (tempus = time, clepta = thief). Which mobile phones often are today.

I have many chemistry puns,
but I’m afraid they won’t get a good reaction
