Living on Mars Science Student

Text on the meme

Teacher : Could we live on Mars? Me, 12 years old science student: Carbon dioxide Oxygen

What it means

A young science student is humorously depicted with a potted plant growing from his head, surrounded by arrows showing carbon dioxide and oxygen exchange. The joke is that a naive twelve-year-old believes humans could live on Mars simply by carrying out photosynthesis like a plant. It is used as an absurd reaction to overly simplistic scientific ideas.
