A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.

This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.
Vet med is like this because they don't really make specialized equipment for every animal. Was on a tour behind the scenes at a zoo and they used a traffic cone to administer anesthesia to a seal.
They don't make masks for anything besides dogs and cats and making tiny masks and putting them on small animals would be incredibly difficult.
Oh no 😯
they creamed thems.. Sad

But enough about my bachelor party!
making tiny masks and putting them on small animals would be incredibly difficult.
But also extremely cute. #WorthIt

... So, if this thing isn't a dedicated small animal anesthetiser, what am I looking at?
A small animal anethetiser which can fit a variety of small animals, not just one :)
They are vet masks. They are generic and come on different sizes. The largest one can fit several small animals. The smallest ones are for cats and tiny dogs. I think the largest one they make are for horses and cattle. But they have special fittings for straps. This ones are rubber ring ended so they are easier to use to makeshift a tiny gas chamber.
We used a rigged cookie jar in my lab before small animal surgery Haha
It seems like something that could be improved by 3d printing.
I'm guessing that if a vet has to assist several animals of the same species maybe it could be possible to get some kind of mask that could fit most of them.
Although I'm not sure if that's something that would help or maybe it will just be more cumbersome.
Oh no, Dr Robotnik captured him.
From the moment Dr Robotnik recognized the weaknesses of his (the hedgehogs) flesh...
All good until You accidentally push the "smoothie" button.
Hedgehog dust. Don't breathe this.
now I've got the will it blend theme in my head
"Mommy, why is my smoothie all red and pointy?"
We're using exotic fruit.
I wouldn't call cactus fruit particularly exotic.
I typed this and then remembered that there are people who don't live in a desert.
As someone who doesn't live in a desert. How do you process these, without having to deal with needles in your hands for the next few days?
Pair of leather gloves and some time, there aren't too many needles on the fruits themselves so you can just kinda pull them out, alternatively you use a knives.
He's hogboxing
We smokin hedgehog out of a glass pipe, blowing the lord's bubbles
We're smoking that Casino Night Zone chaos emerald, you piece of shit! The za got me jumping on missiles.
We straight gassin, cuttin straight to the hedgehog. Ha ha, this shit ain’t nothin to me man.
"You know this plastic prison of theirs won't hold me forever. The war is still coming, Charles."
Is this how pokeballs are made?
They do this for a lot of small animals. My vet has a little cage with an adjustable top you can push down to reduce the volume, that they use for small animals
Sea urchins being named after hedgehogs, now this. My knowledge about hedgehog related things has greatly improved this week.... as for when I can use such knowledge, idk.
That's pretty terrifying. You can see the somewhat muted apprehension on his face mixed with a hope that he will be out of it soon.
Of course, I'm putting human emotions onto an animal, but that's just because I can easily see myself in such a situation where I'm politely asked to step into a room and face a wall for a brief moment...
Just in case, anesthesia != euthanasia
Oh god! I genuinely did make that mistake. I was wondering why this morbid piece was being treated so lightly haha
I experienced your descent into madness. I think I might need some coffee
Yea my brain definitely forgot what anesthetize meant for like 3-4 seconds when I first opened the picture and it made me sad.. Then I was like wait no that's different. Then I was like but yea you could probably use this for the other thing too. Then I remembered the video youtube recommended to me about some guy that built his own gas chamber for cats out of a cooler and got sad again.
what the hell happend here?
Animals experience the same emotions as we do.
It's just their understanding of the situation that might be lacking.
My second paragraph was mostly just to excuse myself from mapping human emotions onto animal facial expressions.
He genuinely might be having the time of his life but we can't read him properly.
Free your mans? Do people actually talk like this?
Yes. See post for example
We just put them in The Box™
