      True, no need to read inbetween the line

        I’m serious, I really don’t get what this is about. That the research they’ve been doing isn’t fun? But why would this one scientist say this? Doesn’t make much sense and I clearly don’t get the joke. Maybe someone can explain?

      It’s just an absurd premise.

      Researchers are specialists in their fields and have carved out an academic niche. They study a single thing for years at a time before publishing a paper, and the process of studying anything is brutally methodical and likely quite often boring until you maybe discover something. It’s then boring again as you write your paper on your work, regardless of whether it discovered something or not.

      All of a sudden, your co-researcher just turns to you and goes “Fuck it. Let’s research something else tonight. Something fun as a treat”.

        I don’t know any scientists that aren’t very passionate of their own research though. That’s making this even more absurd and nonsensical…

    I heard the pattern on zebra is quite a fun thing to research.
