    This is why the quantum expander device is helpful

    WTF are “tweasers”??? Apparently they’re so small that an alternate spelling was needed 🤣

      Yeah, it’s not called “tweaser”, it’s “crispr”

    Hey baby, are you DNA helicase, because I wanna unzip your genes 😏

      Wouldn’t that be “are you DNA helicase, because I want **you **to unzip **my **genes?”

      Hey bebe, are you polyamerous, because I wanna split you between two canonical splite sites 😏

    It’s like how computer scientists just stick scree drivers or soldering irons into tower pcs all day.

    This reminds me of the ASMR video I watched where this person removed my cranial nerves for cleaning and I was so immersed that I was kind of weirded out and upset by their sudden theft.

    The tweezers are hard but why does no one talk about gluing the strands back together? How many students drop out of graduate school because their double helix looks like a ladder? It’s so hard!

      Wow, I don’t think a single one of those people even know what a soldering iron is.

        I like this one:

        The Solderer

        When a retired assassin repairs a personal computer belonging to the daughter of the President of the United States, something, something, a lot of kicking and grunting. Starring Jason Statham

        The guy taking a drill to the motherboard got a good chuckle out of me.

    You losers are still using mechanical tweezers? I upgraded to optical tweezers long ago.
