Daily MOS: Unit 731
The experiments conducted at Unit 731 have been described as “psychopathically sadistic, with no conceivable military application.”
Daily MOS: Opiates, opioids, and whatever tramadol is.
A question I hear sometimes is “why don’t we get rid of all opiates?” It’s kinda the same answer for why we can’t get rid of fossil fuels yet. Because we all know it’s a no good very bad option, but until something that can really replace it comes along we’re stuck with it for now.
Daily MOS: The Failure of Low Fat Diets
I mean, I probably knew not to eat the entire box of low fat bullshit. But hand me a snack labeled “guilt-free,” and I’m gonna take you at your word. Now pass the anal leakage chips, they’re fat free.
Daily MOS: Australia’s Toxic Asshole Death Toads
For a while, cane toads were the hottest thing in organic pest control. Skip the chemicals, let these hallucinogenic amphibians do the work.
Daily MOS: The Marathon
Someone had to ask King Leonidas if the Spartans could bring their best war panties to Athens to fight the Persians. That someone was Pheidippides.
Daily MOS: Tertiary Butyllithium & The Death Of Sheri Sangji
Tert-butyllithium is a pyrophoric little douchebag that catches on fire when exposed to air or water. It’s generally stored in chemicals that are likewise highly flammable. Because “air catching on fire” wasn’t bad enough, let’s add hydrocarbons.
Daily MOS: The Windscale Fire
They started to produce tritium at Windscale in a reactor ill-designed for it. It’s a bastard isotope with a bad attitude and two neutrons.
Daily MOS: Rodents of Unusual Size
An invasive species that’s a successful breeder with a big appetite? What abject fuckery could possibly happen?
Daily MOS: Tales from the Piss Lab
You can trip a false positive screen for some drugs. More than one false positive would strain credulity. Six? Fuck you and the GC/MS you did this analysis on.
