A three-panel SMBC comic. Panel 1: A man in a brown suit excitedly raises a finger, exclaiming that he's found 'the nature of all reality in one equation!' A woman with orange hair tells him to be careful and explains this will be 'the new prestige area of science,' and whatever he calls it will be 'used to sell organic juice and vitamins until the next scientific revolution,' so he should 'think hard.' Panel 2: The man, now thoughtful with a hand to his chin, begins, 'Well... the equation is derived from a theory of pseudo-knots, so...' The woman waits silently. Panel 3: Captioned 'Ever after...,' a product bottle sits on a shelf. Its label reads 'PSEUDO ELIXIR(tm) -- Based on principles of Pseudoscience' -- the legitimate math term 'pseudo-knots' became branding for quack wellness products. Votey: A hand-drawn product label reading 'Soon, you will feel the pseudo-wellness!'
