You can’t just collect and analyse the data either, you have to write a kickass paper, design an appealing poster and present it like it’s the best thing ever and the respective talk…oh yea and then you have to write tons of kickass proposals to get the funding to do more experiments to collect more data and analyse it and… :)

If talking with a woman and she asks you to rate her:


“Hmm, let’s see 9.5… nope, wait, hold on,…”

Fix a hair on her head or move your head around like you’re looking at the Mona Lisa

“Nope, 10 out of ten. Absolute perfection.”

Then smile, and look her in the eyes (or forehead if you’re shy)


The touch will help increase intimacy level, but if you lean in and she leans back, then you don’t have permission to touch her then do the head bobs like you’re examining a really nice piece of art.

Bonus points: Make sure you look her up and down with your eyes as she’s unconsciously seeing that you’re looking at her whole picture.

At least that my default on how I handle questions like that.

PR_freak,

Instructions unclear I stuck a finger in her eye and she punched me

The assumption here is that contributing to society is first priority.

Is 6/10 the new 5/7?

candyman337, in 6/10

When I was younger I really didn’t get societal norms super well, a girl asked me to rate her and I thought she was not ugly, not gorgeous, I gave her a 7 out of 10. She was offended lol. Didn’t even realize she was flirting with me until years later lmao

Psythik,

You fell for one of the oldest tricks in the book.

In the future, when a girl asks you to rate her, the answer is always 10.

candyman337,

No I just tell people I don’t rate people that way. Because for one my attraction is not based on appearance mostly, and also no one is a 10 to me because no one is perfect, so they’ll never be happy with the answer. So I outright refuse with that reasoning. Like I’m not gonna rate the girl over there that’s clearly pretty who may be more physically attractive just so I can rate you lower physically despite caring for you more and finding you way more attractive overall.

JackbyDev,

You sound like the dude in the image lol. I don’t mean that in a bad way, just a funny observation. I get it too, because whenever my friends and I see a movie we have these sort of debates. I rate 1 to 5 and everyone else does 1 to 10. I say I can’t do 1 to 10 because it is too granular and it’s a subjective thing anyways. It’s funny how something so simple as “rate X on a scale of whatever” can turn into such a massive dilemma.

ryannathans,

What a stupid way to flirt

RaivoKulli,

It’s basically just asking if you think they’re cute lol

ryannathans,

Yeah but there’s 101 ways to do that, are they expecting a 10 lol

RaivoKulli,

Well yeah they’re obviously hoping you’d call them cute lol

I just realized that 6 is basically a dick pictogram

state_electrician, in Those were the days!

Uh, yeah, suck it, pipet boy.

xusontha, in Cope

That’s what the interns are for; that and snacks

Pantoffel,

And then take all the credit for their findings for yourself ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ

xusontha,

Of COURSE! They’re paid in “experience” not anything tangible!

quiterather, in Those were the days!

I thought they were sipping pee to test for diabetes 😋😌

Look how long their fancy straws are! I bet they keep chemicals a safe distance away from possible ingestion!

CouncilOfFriends,

I’m wondering if a crazy straw was tested…for safety

chemicalprophet, in Those were the days!

DON’T MOUTH THE PIPET!!!

PotatoesFall, in Those were the days!

Explanation? Are these guys huffing ether or something?

Quereller,

They pipette by mouth, which is not very safe.

stolid_agnostic,

Basically it took many years before someone developed something that could be run with a trigger or button. Before that you used a vacuum (your mouth) to pull liquid into a pipette. Heard an older chemistry professor talk about a colleague who years before swallowed a salmonella sample by accident. A lot of people surely got hurt this way.

They are using their mouths to suck liquids into pipettes. It was an old and dangerous lab technique.

mexicancartel,

Then how are we supposed to do that?

hexthismess,
@hexthismess@hexbear.net avatar

Use a rubber bulb on the end of the pipette. That way your cartel members lab techs are safe.

mexicancartel,

We still use mouth in secondary school. I guess its same in undergraduate degree too. But yeah we only take the base in acid-base titration in pipette

Jesus Christ. 20 years ago my chem teacher used to tell me about the bad old days of having to do this, that it’s still happening today is horrifying.

TonyTonyChopper,
@TonyTonyChopper@mander.xyz avatar

definitely not standard procedure here in the US. And basic solutions can be more dangerous than acids.

mexicancartel,

I guess they only gjve non toxic bases for school

I am a bit concerned everyone is just mentioning the squeeze rubber ball thing, maybe because its time appropriate for the images.

But in modern times people should use something like this www.integra-biosciences.com/…/pipetboy-acu-2

mindbleach,

That’s the worst squirtgun ever.

funkless_eck,

not a scientist but I’m guessing they are siphoning some chemical by sucking up a small amount in the tube to transfer it to another container

HonkTonkWoman,

Aww, I thought they were blowing bubbles. Looked like fun.
