Chemistry + licking = cooking
Science Memes

A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.
Rules
- Don't throw mud. Behave like an intellectual and remember the human.
- Keep it rooted (on topic).
- No spam.
- Infographics welcome, get schooled.
This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.

Herpetology: Bed plan bad plan BAD PLAN!!!
Chemistry 50 years ago: it is encouraged to smell, taste, and injest all of your work
Just here to voice my appreciation for the ATCQ title.
You on the lab safety committee, Tip?
Electronics: Only the low voltage side.
Lick the null and keep on with your life. Lick the phase and suffer. Lick two phases and die.
Physics clubs always pull out the liquid nitrogen ice cream, so licking is an option!

We know not to lick it, therefor someone has licked it
Well, lots of someone's painting watch faces with it.
A quick question, should the software engineer lick the monitor screen or the keyboard?
I… uh… am asking for a friend who is a software engineer.
I am a butterfly instructor.
Isn't there a game where if you put ketchup on the disc it does something to make it easier to speedrun? So licking might be too unreasonable
Lmao dammit emacs
Most keyboards get really gross after a while and are hardly ever cleaned. I'd go for the monitor.
This is why they never get cleaned, you gotta start somewhere. Lick the keyboard!
the motherboard. how else can you tell that it is working?
Given most software engineers develop in a cloud environment, I would… I mean my friend would have to shove their head into a server rack that is consuming high amounts of wattage. My friend would then have to try reaching for the motherboard by extending their tongue.
The only problem I see here is travelling to the data centre which are often located in different countries or even continents. I am not sure if their employer would cover that expense.
Also, I don't know if Amazon will let my friend in a similar situation into their data centers to lick the AWS motherboards.
Chemistry has discovered more than they probably care to admit by accidentally licking things.
Purposefully licking things.
Chemists of old were a bit less safety conscious than we are today. Tasting the chemicals you just made was just part of the job back then.
Chemists of old were plenty safety conscious. Licking the science is what apprentices were for.
We still like to sniff stuff. You’ve got some very sensitive chemoreceptors right on your face, might as well use them!
"Why does my cigarette I left on the lab table taste sweet?" is absolutely the question an inattentive scientists asked himself before he discovered an artificial sweetener.
EDIT: Michael Sveda's discovery of cyclamate at the university of Illinois in 1937

History: Fuck You.
Sociology: Allowed and encouraged in some fields, others... better not.
Economics: "Is Human Resources there?"
Medicine: "Next, please." or "Don't, please."
Civil engineering: Go ahead, eat the dirt.
Law: Go to jail.
Political science: Could you please do this somewhere else?
In zoology, science might lick you, but it might also bite you.
Biology: Lick here... Yep, that's the spot. Continue... Oh yeah, keep going. Uhhh....
Human anatomy: you’re technically always licking it. And now you’re aware of it. Your tongue on the roof of your mouth. Touching your teeth.
I always hate how well this works...
Also I hope you enjoy manually breathing now as in retaliation
Let's ask Microbiology and Virology
“Lick this dish please.”
“So you do lick the science?!”
“No. You are the science.”
You can quest like a tribe does.
