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

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

      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.

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

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

    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!

        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

    You losers are still using mechanical tweezers? I upgraded to optical tweezers long ago.
