Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.

Our Rules:

  1. Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.

  2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

  3. Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.

  4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

  5. No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

Pretty sure most mad scientists are in applied science, which are usually just going to research for health effects and potency.

So you'd have a control group which had dyed water with no goat elixir, a group which had water with 10% of the goat elixir,a group with 20% of the goat elixir etc... And then you see over ten years which group develops cancer or other health problems, and try to extrapolate from there.

And then you find out that the water you used for testing was actually undyed goat elixir and that all your results are shit.

So, what was the title of your thesis?
