Me OMW (on my way) to cut open the cancer treatment machine and put a pellet of cobalt 60 in my mouth:

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.

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 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.
