For Science!

Postby Galloism » Thu Nov 08, 2012 5:46 pm

Grand social experiments. What do you want to do "for science"?

I was just discussing with Nana how, when I was voting for pot legalization, I find the personal liberty angle important, but I voted mostly for science. I want to see the results if Arkansas voted for legalization on society. What would Washington say? What would the Feds do in response to a conservative state legalizing pot?

What will the fed do as more and more states legalize pot?

These are interesting questions, but my experiment has been ruined.


What grand things do you do "For Science!"?
Venicilian: wow. Jesus hung around with everyone. boys, girls, rich, poor(mostly), sick, healthy, etc. in fact, i bet he even went up to gay people and tried to heal them so they would be straight.
The Parkus Empire: Being serious on NSG is like wearing a suit to a nude beach.
New Kereptica: Since power is changed energy over time, an increase in power would mean, in this case, an increase in energy. As energy is equivalent to mass and the density of the government is static, the volume of the government must increase.

I have a fantasy of streaking around my school wearing nothing but a gorilla mask, a cape, and tennis shoes, while shouting "FOR SCIENCE!!!!" at the top of my lungs.

The purpose of this, you ask? To see if one can get away with anything by claiming its for science.

I'd have to go south for that. Bit of an expensive journey. But the ice-cream I eat while doing that makes it worth it.

I've been studying the long term effects of marijuana use for many years now, but for some reason whenever I sit down & engage in my research, I always forget to write down the results. ;)

I'm ambidextrous in that regard.

I've done a lot of shit under the nomer "for science", but ofcourse I failed to make a hypothesis beforehand and just did it because it looked like a fun thing to do.

The amount of people you can fit on a male bicycle is at least 15.

The amount of posts that went under the radar of the mods is at least 17444.

It also reminds me, I should check up on the actual voting of my municapality. I want to know how many others voted for 'my' candidate.

I'd like to go back and drop various religions and ethnic groups in one place at the same time to see how things would go. Say I dump Hindus and Portuguese Jews in some island here, or dump Germans and Chinese in some island here, so on.

It'd be entertaining.

Overclocked a 486 cooled with liquid nitrogen to see if we could get it to run Half Life 2. Results not expected.

Edit: Also dropped sodium into water because that's always fun.

(Of course I was behind a safety wall and use a deadman cord to drop it.)

See exactly how devastated the Earth's biosphere would be after the simultaneous detonation of two hundred megatons of nuclear weaponry in one place. Maybe the Amazon Rainforest, or somewhere in the taiga.

We eventually got it to 70 mhz. It was only rated for 33 Mhz overclock back in the day. Predictably bad things happened.
