Description
This artifact is graffiti located in one of the men's bathroom stalls of Strozier Library.
The submitter provided the following about the artifact’s history:
It attempts to satirize the chemical structure of 3,3-diethylpentane, a branched alkane with nine carbon atoms. The skeletal formula of this isomer resembles a swastika. Likewise, the artist (or possibly someone else) claims that the diagram is not hate speech.
