"Unexpectedly returned to the food chain, " is, I think, just as alarming as, "impromptu dissection"

[leeshajoi]

I love how many of the NASA jargon definitions end with "I realize we do this on purpose sometimes, but this was not one of those times."

[herothecrow]

Ok, but “engine-rich exhaust” as code for “whoops, there goes the engine, that probably wasn’t supposed to happen” has to be one of if not the best of all of these phrases

[trickerylk]

My favorite has got to be:
"Engine-rich exhaust"
As a person who somewhat knows stuff about rockets, that is and will always be, absurdly funny.

Edit: Added the hyphen

I think my favorite phrase is “Intuitively obvious to the casual observer.” It’s almost exclusively used in a context where the derivation of an equation is too complicated or the writer just doesn’t want to write it down in LaTeX.

This independently made project has provided me, an observer and supporter, with an increase in my internal hormone production of serotonin.

Recently, I saw a label on a report (not about frogs sadly) that just meant "we ordered this product for our experiment and our package never arrived". Poor researchers.

Okay, as a student in Natural Resources this has gotta be one of my favorites so far.

I, too, hate it when my pet unexpectedly returns to the food chain...

"HELP!!!! MY FRIEND IS DYING"


"He's gonna receive an unrequested transfer"
Scientist: *OHH SH!T*

[shinesoul]

There are times I forget im a Animal science Geek but then get reminded by things like this or hearing about new fossils

[KenshiImmortalWolf]

every so often, this post returns, bigger, and always better

Hey, as a beginner chemist, waht's a good way to say "well we spilled the nitric acid and now my fingers are all yellow?"

[sagacious]

Fun video! Thanks for uploading! I love comically nerdy stuff like this!

[Sirius]

The post got better since I last saw it.

[godfrey_approves]

This is how you style it out when you mess up - say it like this and you sound very professional

[karaelzexceed]

1:44 is no one gonna talk about the fact that yeet now has a past tense lol
edit: nevermind they mentioned it at 2:01 XDDD

Hey scientist side of YouTube, what's the scientist code for: "I laughed so much while watching this video that I started crying?"

[lunamoon]

I cannot explain the amount in which I want Entomo to talk about this. And the big problem is that most people on here aren’t even gonna know who Entomo is and I cannot explain it. But like I _need_ to know their thoughts and input.

This has been the highlight of my day. I don't laugh often, but this had me laughing for 3 minutes straight so thank you
