A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.
Rules
This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.
I think it was when we got to toxic metals and radioactive elements that chemists where forced to stop tasting their discoveries.
I hope it went: Safety person: Hey! Stop tasting any elements or new molecules. It's been getting people severely sick or killed!
Chemist: "Ugh, fine, but ima bitch about it the whole time"
I believe the guy who tasted plutonium did so accidentally when the powder got in his mouth. The metallic taste probably has something to do with how radioactive it is.
Or the fact that it’s, y’know, a metal
I can still huff them though, right? How else will I know when my reaction is done?
It's coincidentally when we started getting radiation poisoning. Correlation? Causation? The younger generation is so weak smh.
