I had to break all my beakers.

I unknowingly damaged a bunch of my beakers and then mixed them back with my good ones. I then had no idea which ones were good or bad anymore, so I ended up having to sacrifice them all.

The fact that he’s completely composed and not laughing as he’s hurling beakers across his lab is gold

[Thejigholeman]

"not just for safety reasons, but also because it could potentially ruin an entire project"
why does this feel like the science version of "You could be killed, or worse, expelled"?

[mamag]

"the idea of having a beaker that could break on it's own was really scary. Not just for safety reasons, but because it could ruin a project" is the chemist translation of "we could have been killed, or worse, expelled!"

[ziqizeng]

NileRed saying: “Not just for safety reasons, but it could also potentially ruin an entire project” is the chemist equivalent to Hermione saying: “We could be killed. Or worse, expelled”

“If you cannot catch the fish, you have to drain the sea.”

[Jadn]

Nile: "I'm concerned about safety."


Also Nile: "KOBE"

[AnarchySquared]

One month later: "I noticed I kept getting shards of glass stuck in my shoes. I couldn't figure out where exactly, so I replaced my floor."

[FittedSheet]

"They all look the same"
*several noticeably brown beakers*

[thetalkingfist]

This is the equivalent of someone making a noise, the teacher not knowing who and then just punishing the whole class

[SuperExplosivegames]

When he threw the hammer at the missed basketbeaker I died laughing expecting him to be done

[bigfootbeliever]

Beaker: survives being thrown 10 feet.
Nile:"YEETS HAMMER"

[paulstaf]

You should number your beakers and then keep track of which ones you use in which experiment. This could be useful information at some point.

[kevku]

"No open toed shoes allowed in lab."

Wonder why.

[tehrealcoralsnek]

“Oh that one didn’t break”
*chucks a hammer at it*

[kevinaucancela]

"This is a safety concern"
Starts to throw beakers like basketballs

[brontegoodman]

The smashing part made me SO STRESSED because I cannot tell you how many times I have had a bad dream where I ate glass. Don't question it, I have no clue.

[operationmindfuck]

Seems like a type of therapy for a frustrated chemist.

[zuha]

I like to imagine the neighbors hearing this and telling their guests, "oh yea that's just the chemist next door, he gets upset at times..."

[JBBrickman]

no matter how many times you vacuumed I’ll never go in that room barefoot

[scarletevans]

This is highly educational, good to know that after such experiments the beakers can be damaged in non-visible way and need to be disposed of.
Thank you!!
