Isn’t this a joke from Diary of a Wimpy Kid?

Huh, that photo even appears on the webpage

If I read it, will I understand why “feet” is in the sneeze-causing list?

The smell?

nodimetotie,

I also don’t get it. Not everything that smells causes you to sneeze. None of the methods actually make sense. A feather tickles you, not makes you sneeze. And the pepper? The experiment is invalid. Did not disprove the hypothesis, needs more testing.

NounsAndWords,

I read it as a joke of increasing absurdity. Sniffing pepper makes people sneeze so that one works (besides the trying to make a plant sneeze part). He got a bit distracted by experiment 2 and mixed up the involuntary reactions sneezing and tickling and tries to tickle it with a feather. He then gets further distracted between experiment 2 and 3, and tests feet which are commonly ticklish.

When I break it down like this you can see that it is a very funny joke, as one can always tell from a detailed explanation of the joke.

That’s either too pixelated for me or a weird pepper shaker.

MrShankles,

Looks like “Martian Shakers”. Though they must have a special edition, because the ones I found have blue eyes

Found them for $7.99 here

XTornado,

Oh nice for sharing the info.

I used to have the non-shaker version of that.

It was much more fun to play with and far less messy if you did.

tacosanonymous, in Kid's going places

Kid’s *probably going places.

baseless_discourse,

That would be the hypothesis.

H4mi,

Conclusion: Kid didn’t go places.

baseless_discourse,

Experiment: This shitty poster.

Poor experiment. He didn’t find out what pollen allergies the plant might have had.

painfulasterisk,

*Funding needed to carry out such effort.

With this sort of talent, the kid is sure to get a grant.

NounsAndWords,

What do you mean? He already tested the three most common allergens: pepper, being ticked by a feather, and feet.

Mothra,

Me squinting hard trying to see if those are more common as allergens or as fetishes

jaybone,

This is a good candidate for a venn diagram.

Hold up how much do all the protons you removed weigh? You get less than 1kg of gold at the end

MrQuallzin, in Baby how cold is it oitside?
confluence, in Astronomy go brrrrrrr

First science meme community I see on Lemmy. First science meme post I see. Was not disappointed.

Jolteon, in Astronomy go brrrrrrr

Surface friction

Just looked at the Wikipedia page. What is the reason for so many fucking scales?

PotatoesFall,

The purpose for this one is for scientists that normally use Fahrenheit. Those people don’t really exist though

TonyTonyChopper,
@TonyTonyChopper@mander.xyz avatar

they used to exist like 200 years ago

snugglesthefalse,

Different people deciding at different times that they need to measure temperature for something specific and then varying degrees of adoption.

derekabutton,

Well Kelvin makes some math much easier. Formulas look pretty if you don’t need to remove 213 a bunch of times.

snugglesthefalse,

Iirc it’s 273.15 but yeah, less maths.

Yeah that sums it up thanks

Quik,

Is there any research on which xkcds are cited most often?

SHITPOSTING_ACCOUNT, in Baby how cold is it oitside?

Title made me think centimeters.

lowleveldata, in Just ignore THAT part

They love to ask questions about terminal velocity tho

Professorozone, in Of course it was

Was having blood drawn and the phlebotomist, who was obviously Christian, was so happy to have found out that men actually had one less rib than women because, you know, Adam’s rib became Eve. I was not about to correct her as she had a needle in my arm at that moment.

Squorlple, in Of course it was
@Squorlple@lemmy.world avatar

Not to be confused with Sir Isaac Newton’s dog, forgotten villain

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diamond_(dog)

SomeAmateur,

Huh I wonder if that’s connected to Diamond Dogs in Metal Gear Solid V

Squorlple,
@Squorlple@lemmy.world avatar

I’m not very familiar with the franchise, but I did find this:

“Aside from the aforementioned meanings behind the name “Diamond Dogs,” it is also a reference to the David Bowie album of the same name, whose work has previously been referenced in other games in the series.”

The Bowie album title and the album’s group of characters by the same name are often believed to have been inspired by Newton’s dog, so MGS V is at least indirectly influenced by it.

SomeAmateur,

Cool thanks!
