#science shenanigans

[oncillaphoenix]

can’t believe we as a society don’t hype up geology more. don’t you want to know all the mysteries of the soil and the mountains and the fires within the earth? there are secrets here to haunt your darkest dreams but we’re just like. “nah. i wanna look at space instead”

I’ve just had a recent dream regarding Tech, he was wearing a dark grey uniform of an imperial scientist with rank bar denoting his status as Imperial Commander and Science Officer. He was calmly adjusting his glasses as he typed out scientific diagrams regarding contraptions of any kind. This only fuels my plans to expand my Imperial Tech au! Once his chip activates. He’ll be more logically harsh in addition to being practical, cold, calculated, determined, firm, stern, serious, cunning, businesslike, persuasive, brutally honest, reasonable, brutally honest.

as such. The Amaxines, The Drengir are also involved in my Imperial Tech AU as is Phee Genoa. Case Solving is also included!

Not only that, I’ve recently dreamt Tech was giving new recruits for the Imperial Science Division a tour of his massive lab on Mt. Tantiss in addition to the others on Coruscant and Ziost!

I'm sorry but from the headline alone all I can image is a very flustered scientist trying their best to explain to a journalist what happened in words that the general public can understand

And mid-way realising how it sounds and getting even more flustered and their voice getting... smol

things i've heard environmental science majors say:

"For the test we'll need to tell the different flavours of mayflies apart." / "Did you just say flavours?"

"It amazes me how many city kids are in this program." / "We're all desperate to get out of this city."

"I think everyone who attended all the surface water pollution lab sections should be allowed to lick one piece of glassware of their choosing. Y'know, as a treat."

"Professor, nobody goes into this major unless they like to eat dirt." / "Great, so you can talk the Students' Association into convincing the board to give me funding for my trees?"

"What're we toasting to?" / "Nitrogen pollution."

"You look frustrated. What's up?" / "I had twenty-one Leptophlebiidae in my dish. He's going to think I'm lying about how many Leptophlebiidae are in my dish."

"If you weren't raised by Wall-E, do you even belong in this class?" / "The Onceler." / "Fuck, good point."

"Dude, I spent the whole exam trying not to sink my teeth into a really, really juicy bug in my sample—" / "Cranefly?" / "...yeah."

"Well, just make sure you're not (person)'s lab partner. Last weekend's trip involved him leaving too many fish in the dirt for the professor's liking."

[exhausted chorus] "And the fish go belly-up."

"What's the major difference between east coast and west coast soils?" / "Alcoholism."

"Got any plans for the holidays?" / "Gonna go home and listen to my entire extended family call me a tree-hugging hippie." / "Aren't we all?"

I just want a fic where Danny and Jason are just fucking laughing so hard they’re wheezing and bawling as they make death jokes while everyone else is SO uncomfortable

Like they’re full on cackling like Danny will say “We’re not allowed in certain rooms”

Jason will b like ‘what rooms’

Danny will say ‘living rooms’

And they both start dying (metaphorically) of laughter slapplin the counter crying while dick is trying real hard not to shatter the mug in his hands with a constipated expression that rivals Bruce’s a seat away from him (+bonus points if the joke is something that is on the verge of being utterly lame like a near science pun)

(I dunno if a lot of people will see this post but if you do please I’m begging you add a death joke guys please it would be so funny)

Totally 100% True Top Gun Facts Pt. 3

By-the-book Admiral Tom Kazansky has frequently asked his minuscule hellion of a wingman to rain judgement upon those who’ve annoyed him.

Soon enough, people start to catch on that pissing off the Iceman results in an unfortunate assignment with the Navy’s equivalent of a live grenade filled with silly string.

Ever wondered how Angela keeps up with Moira around the lab? Wheelies... the answer is wheelies.

One of those basic rules of improv say you have to say "Yes and-" rather than an outright contradiction, right? Sometimes you just have to commit to the bit even if your partner in crime makes things too dang complicated (so much for flying under the radar and being unmemorable- that nurse is going to be telling stories for weeks!). Of course, it is one thing to claim a child as part of an act and quite another to let such a claim slip out in a moment of guileless yelling at the co-god-parent (previous); no number of denials can take back such an admission.

So, are werewolves undead? I like to think that Remus had a muggle birth certificate in addition to whatever records the wizarding world might utilize- but post-bite his protective parents decided that it would be safer if he no longer had a paper trail in the muggle world, keep him hidden from prying questions etc. Perhaps it was safer for Remus (or easier for his parents at least) to not exist in the muggle records as a child, but it would become very difficult to find a job outside of the magical world and bring up all sorts of awkward questions when, after a night of running around in the woods with a pack of werewolves that don't exactly trust him and sans his trousers, he gets his exhausted ass hit by a lorry and dragged off to a muggle hospital.

:)) Hello :) I am procrastinating on sleeping, so I bring more teacher AU queries

Do Fantine and Joly get along? :O

and Did R manage to get his trousers up before Javert caught him and Enj in the closet, did he get caught with his pants down a second time? 😭

eheheh ty once again Emile!! I think Fantine would absolutely adore Joly; she was so happy and jovial in her youth too, so I think she would see herself reflected very well in him 🥹 she was quite shy at first but once she learns that he was the one who finally helped Combeferre with his phosphorus experiment (😨), she was instantly like "so...I heard you have a liking for unorthodox science experiments...👀"

As for Enjolras and Grantaire....their escapade unfortunately didn't end that night 😔:

Enjolras is never PDA-ing ever again.

Screw Hogwarts Houses (and JK Rowling) tell me what degree you would be taking at a magical university:

Thaumaturgical Artificing- The scientific study and application of magic as it pertains to Alchemy (the creation of of potions) and Arcana (the engineering of magical devices).

Necromantic Studies- A degree for those looking for the most modern and ethical methods of raising the dead.

Arcanic Anthropology- This degree walks students through the history of magical artifacts, how to find them, and their proper uses to aspiring Sorcerers and non-magic users alike.

Linguistic Incantology- The study of the properties of magical languages as well as the characteristics of those languages in general ascertained in order to gain mastery over the magical art of incantation.

Magiphysical Sciences- The study of Humanoid systems, anatomy, and physical health and fitness as it pertains to magical gestures and more physically involved magic systems.

Mystic Virology- The study of magical diseases and curses, their effects on the humanoid form, and the treatments and counterhexes for such magical conditions.

Enchanted Horticulture- A branch of Enchanted agriculture that focuses on cultivation of magical gardens for the purposes of spells, medicine, and consumption.

General Studies- This degree covers the most basic information on various magical studies and provides a great opportunity for students to discover their magical passions and/or complete their prerequisite courses before moving on to a more advanced degree.

even MORE things i've heard enviro sci majors say

beating this format into the ground fuck you.

part one. part two.

Student: "I consider it 'soil' if you're studying and examining it. I consider it 'dirt' if you're just shovelling it into your mouth." / Lab Tech: "We have very different uses for dirt, I see."

"Dirt is important. Save the whales. Save the dirt whales."

"We technically have two blenders—" / "Weren't you using one as a flower pot?"

"I'd be willing to sell my soul to pass O-Chem." / "Selling souls? I'm in the market. I'll give ya twenty bucks for it."

"If I ever meet the YouTube organic chem tutors, I will pray to God for them. I will make out with them. I will give them my kidneys."

"The GC says it may come in contact with radioactive materials, but the front panel has googly eyes so I'm sure it's just a little silly!"

Student: "In this case, what could be volatile but not harmful to us?" / Prof: "Rum."

"What do you mean you're graphing 'stds'— ohh it's an abbreviation of 'standards'."

"Would you two stop staring at me while I massage this bag of dirt??"

(Sticking whole face into a jar of unknown white lab powder) "Mm. Marshmallows."

"How are you feeling about the exam?" / "I'm not feeling."

[crystal-mouse]

if they'd shown me this in science maybe i would've learnt more
