DrownedRats, in After 100ish years, Graffiti becomes noteworthy

Give peas a chance is one piece that gained this status a few decades early. Never forget what they took from us…

I’ve heard an unbalanced ultracentrifuge explode and have seen the aftermath. Now that’s mad science!

Contramuffin,

Don’t worry, that’s actually perfectly balanced. That’s the mad part

Tar_alcaran,

Could still be different amounts in there though

Any time you see a video of a cat backing up and saying “no no no no no” it’s because they’re watching the researcher’s hand move toward the on switch of that centrifuge.

i think that centrifuge might be actually balanced

technically lava can kill coronavirus

is this really a forbes article? actually it’s probably more truthful than usual

1024_Kibibytes,

It is really a Forbes article:

forbes.com/…/can-lava-kill-the-coronavirus-an-inv…

Apparently it came about after Trump suggested drinking bleach.

sooper_dooper_roofer,

the floor is lava, and coronavirus can’t touch it

Appoint this internet commenter as surgeon general of Florida! We must get the truth out about medicinal lava!

frezik,

That commenter already is the surgeon general of Florida.

My sister’s baby’s daddy’s cousin’s roommate drank lava, and it cured his cancer. Then, he quit taking drugs. Why does Big Geology support cancer and drug addiction?

Every time you tell this story you leave out the fact his testicle (yeah he only got one) swole up to the size of a basketball and I think that’s pretty important

don,

Are there handguns small enough to fit inside a Petri dish? Or do you just aim the handgun at the Petri dish? Does the handgun need to be loaded? If it must be loaded, will blanks suffice? Does a larger caliber reduce the time needed to aim the handgun at the Petri dish? Is there a specific distance to the dish from which one must aim the handgun? Are rifles, shotguns, and machine guns specifically excluded? Will a sword work? It’s generally made of the same kind of material as a handgun. Is it necessary to stand on a chair while wearing a lab coat while aiming the handgun? Can two hands be used to aim the handgun? Does engaging the handgun’s safety have any effect on the contents of the Petri dish?

XKCD’s not being very helpful.

Icalasari,

Blank probably would work. Those can still kill at point blank

misterundercoat,

If we just go around shooting cancer cells, we’ll end up with bullet-resistant super-cancers.

Iron_Lynx,

If we can harvest those to make ballistic vests, then I see opportunities.

rockerface,

So, like Venom?

1024_Kibibytes,

I don’t know of any handguns small enough to fit into a petri dish. The handgun must be loaded and fired at the petri dish. A large caliber will be easier to aim since it would decrease the need for accuracy. Close range is a better distance. Shotguns and machine guns would do an even better job, rifles are fine. A sword decreases the likelihood of destroying a virus because of its low energy. Standing on a chair while wearing a lab coat makes you look cooler. Two hands can be used to aim the gun if it helps you. The handgun will not fire with the safety on, thus decreasing the probability of destroying the virus.

Why did you build a death ray?

To take over the world.

No, I mean, what mad hypothesis are you testing? Are you just making mad observations?

Look, I’m just trying to take over the world. That’s all.

You’re at least going to leave some of the world as a mad control group, right?

Sad fact: most “mad scientists” are actually mad engineers.

(Borrowed from a Cowbirds in Love strip which at the time of this writing is inaccessible.)

AlgeriaWorblebot,

I miss Cowbirds in Love.

Technically a close-range gamma ray burst can kill coronavirus, but there’s a good reason no one is using it for that purpose: it’s a goddamned close-range gamma ray burst.

Coasting0942,

I am confused? Suffer not the non-human to live

PunnyName,

Oh, look at Big Astronomy trying to tell me how I should practice Extinction Level Events.

Fuck you B.A., I’ll go extinct however I wanna!

nxdefiant,

You can have a little extinction, as a treat.

WhiskyTangoFoxtrot,

You want Hulks? 'Cause that’s how you get Hulks.

I think you misspelled thought emporium:

We’re talking MAD science, not regular science.

But are you wearing welding goggles?

metaStatic, in BIG GEOLOGY

They've played us for absolute fools

Wogi,

This is such bullshit. You can’t drink lava.

It’s really more like a soft taffy. You eat it. I eat lava all the time and I’m FINE. eat the lava kids
