Me OMW (on my way) to cut open the cancer treatment machine and put a pellet of cobalt 60 in my mouth:
(The professor did not specify the kind of lab and the kind of equipment)
You like eating radioactive rocks, don’t you?
“Crystal healing is fake” mfs when they hold 125 grams of polonium
Crystal healing is fake.
Crystal killing on the other hand…
I mean, you don’t even need radioactive elements to do it. Just one pointy enough.
Any crystal is lethal if you throw it hard enough.
DROP AND RUN
How did you take the pic?
With my third arm.
I don’t feel so good…
Hahah. I was surprised with the lack of grainy-ness. Maybe you should get that checked out.
In an undergrad electronics lab class, the TA suggested I put the function generator leads on my tongue, and play with the parameters. Obviously I know what an applied DC voltage “tastes” like, but he suggested AC, sweeping the frequency. Sure enough, above a certain frequency (want to say 10s to 100s of Hz?), I couldn’t feel it at all.
Fun stuff.
I know enough about academia, electrical safety, people and hygiene to find this plausible, reckless, funny and revolting respectively, but not enough about any to know which should win.
One time, I was on a date and I was telling a story about a bossy graduate student. I said “And he didn’t even have his PhD!” which didn’t impress my date, who didn’t even have her PhD.
I went on a rant about how dumb project managers are shortly before finding out my date was a project manager lol. It happens
But was she dumb?
It says she was a project manager right in the comment.
Why would you care what she thinks? She doesn’t even have her PhD!
I chose the dirty pipettes from the organic chemistry lab!
Every year you get warned “dont pipette by mouth” because you will sometimes find some 120 year old lab guide that says “pipette by mouth 13ml of 3M NaOh”. Those og chemists went hard.
Maybe not the ethidium bromide equipment though.
Only for special occasions and when company is over. Bust out the good glassware (just not literally).
I had both of these in A-level biology somehow. One week we were taught by the ex nurse who was constantly exasperated by us not knowing stuff like how coronary bypass surgeries are performed, and the next a former primary school teacher who would have us doing cutting and sticking exercises on ATP transfer or DNA sequencing. Neither particularly improved our understanding of biology.
My parents put me in tutoring and used to punish me for only being one class ahead in math. Did they maybe try to control my violent sister more or care that the other two were routinely calling me stupid? No, just punish me for being lazy.
Yo prof! Do I get to pick the equipment?
