Why Not Use Butter?

Disgusting. They are combining electrons, copper, and lithium to create batteries them manipulate that to make a car move. Why do this when we already have gasoline? Disgusting. They are combining hydrogen, carbon and oxygen to create fat molecules then manipulate that to taste like butter. Why do this when we already have butter?

A screenshot of a social media post mocks electric car batteries by describing them as an unnecessarily complicated way to make a car move, while quoting a post that uses the same reasoning to mock the creation of butter from hydrogen, carbon, and oxygen. The joke is a parody of anti-electric-vehicle arguments, showing that the same logic can make ordinary natural products sound absurdly artificial.
