Ah, so this is what they mean about PIs cannibalising graduate students.
Lab Shelob behaviour
Sadly this is probably from a child who ate a bunch of magnets.
Is it not cocain smuggling via eating pods?
Maybe you’re right, but the hips look very small and the objects very uniform.
Lab stir bars are Teflon coated and look like candy. No idea where anyone could find that many stir bars.
Take your child to work day? Shouldn’t be doing that if you work in an industrial lab tho.
Maybe the storage room of a college chem class or smth?
Don’t go for an MRI. Intestine smoothie.
well at least that smoothie will have a stir bar to mix it up…
Oh! Stir bars are the magnetic things at the bottom of lab jars when you’re mixing stuff, right?
I thought Stir Bar was a nutrition bar or a chocolate bar like a Boost. Stir isn’t a great name for a protein bar, but it’s not the worst.
In the UK we have a chocolate bar called the Star Bar - it’s a LOT like a Boost - and it kinda has the same shape. I honestly thought it was a typo at first and I was like, “the fuck have Cadbury’s changed now?”.
I’m stealing this idea fyi. Science themed energy bars.
Whoa, that’s way too many magnets. You’re only supposed to use one, and they go in the second stomach so they don’t impede the passage of food
“It feels like there’s a party in my gut and everyone is spinning.”
Wtf am I looking at?
Someone smuggling drugs. Given we have a medical image something has probably gone wrong.
I find this pretty unsettling.
If they’re not supposed to be eaten, why do they look like mints?
Put 'em on the spinner!
What is happening?
Mmm magnets.
What are you, the waste container?
And implanting them all over the place, apparently.
- those are huge stir bars
- my body is about to become organ smoothie 😱
Children eat weird stuff
Where does a child come across hundreds of lab stir bars.
My guess was backseat of car. Parent has lab supplies back there, including a few 10-pack boxes of these, which also work as an improvised distraction/toy just like rare earth magnets or monkeys in a barrel. Unfortunately they weren’t checking rear view mirror because work it’s stressful, so kid put quite a few down without their knowledge. They didn’t even notice until day 2 migration to large intestine and rectum. This parent is overworked and under-appreciated and I’m so glad I’m not responsible for children.
