If I’m running while naked, I’m probably more likely to be worried someone is trying to cut my balls off.

At some point, the Japanese scientific community decided that the Nobel Prize Committee was full of shit and decided to pivot their entire scientific apparatus to studying really niche and hilarious topics that make their researchers competent for the true mark of honour: the Ig Nobel Prize.

My husband the voice of reason says this study probably had something to do with tortion or whatever. Me? Pretty sure those are just some pervs wanting to see cold naked men running around.

Now it is time for a study into the effects of cup sizes on airflow during running, like the anime breast aerodynamics but irl

A keynote proposition would be the use of a wind tun- nel experiment to acquire validation data. Ideally, this experiment would use live subjects of varying breast sizes

I hope he got his funding grant to stick fat titty skinny chicks (dressed as dragon maids) into wind tunnels and film their giant fucking honkers flapping in the breeze

I doubt it.

I remember when the study first came out. He bought a license for CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) software for a different project and had an extra 2-3 weeks left over when he was done with it. So he decided to use the remaining time he paid for modelling giant anime tiddies

As the Olympics should be.

[–] Pieisawesome@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (4 children)

I think we should have more Olympics.

One for people who do everything naked.

One for people who want to do performance enhancing drugs, steroids, implants, whatever.

Another for performance impairing drugs.

One for normal people who aren’t allowed to do any training. Grab them off the street (with consent) or whatever.

And a few more other random ones.

Another for performance impairing drugs.

reminds me of these two videos, Drugs at Work:

https://youtu.be/wmg-sYnMIrA (tries canvassing while impaired)

https://youtu.be/Jv4fr8A2b-k (tries wrapping presents while impaired)

I'd love to see a field of athletes trying to compete while under the influence of performance impairing drugs

[–] Mantzy81@aussie.zone 5 points 23 hours ago

I volunteer as a participant to the performance impaired Olympics.

[–] Agent641@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

I want to see alcoholympics for normies. Drunk people always wildly overestimate their abilities but perform way worse

[–] prettybunnys@piefed.social 6 points 1 day ago

Performance impairing drugs MUST happen BEFORE the regular Olympics by the regular olympians.

A week before you compete in your downhill skiing event you’re gonna have to do it under the influence of “this years games brought to you by ketamine”.

Then you compete in the regular Olympics.

I want to see the funding proposal.

[–] danekrae@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago

Funded by Big Boxers

[–] fraksken@infosec.pub 33 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Valuable research. What was the conclusion?

[–] Numenor@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

My balls was hot

[–] ivan@piefed.social 15 points 1 day ago

Sometimes I happen upon articles that make me think that I'm doing wrong kinds of research myself. 🌚

[–] DarrinBrunner@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago

Probably on a treadmill inside. Pfeh. No fun.

[–] Whelks_chance@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Can you chuck them over your shoulder?

[–] ordnance_qf_17_pounder@reddthat.com 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Like a regimental soldier?

[–] Lemmyoutofhere@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 day ago

Can you tie them in a bow?

[–] Dr_Fetus_Jackson@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

Can confirm.
