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

Quantum tweezers change text based on observation

Love it! Mai brain!

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

This is why the quantum expander device is helpful

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!

Nomecks@lemmy.ca on 15 Feb 16:04 next collapse

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

Isoprenoid@programming.dev on 15 Feb 17:25 next collapse

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

If the other person is the enzyme, then they are the unzipper.

I butchered it

reinei@lemmy.world on 16 Feb 07:49 collapse

No no, that’s a different enzyme to cut your DNA!

Exo- or endo-nuclease!

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

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

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.
