unfortunately I discovered it because I spilled it on my hands and now my skin has a sickly sweet taste that I am unable to wash off of it
I feel like a 1920s industrial chemist
yesterday my friend told me how an early microwave inventor tested if his machine was on by... sticking his head inside. if his head got warm, it was on.
the story of how the microwave was invented in the first place is that the guy who went on to invent it was a military millimeter-wave radar engineer and he brought a candy bar to work that day, and he noticed that it was melting in his pocket while he was working on a powered-up radar set
scientists and engineers truly make some of the worst decisions of all time
they're liable to come up with an acronym or punny name they think is really clever but that just confuses everyone. then again if you let sales people name products they all end up being called shit like Cloud Chat Plus
name one person who is actually good at naming things.
i dare you.
