Decades of colliding hardons and what do we have to show for it

Just the Higgs boson, which is exactly what the LHC was originally built for. But other than the intended results, it’s been basically useless!

Tbf, there are quite a few big experiments that have been done and will be done with the LHC, not just the Higgs boson search.

The hardons haven't been colliding fast enough. Sorry boys, I don't make the rules

it was about the hardons we collided along the way

Confirmation of the principles they built the thing to demonstrate.

Every time so far.

This isn't far off from some dipshit saying the place program was a waste of resources.

I think they were making a hardon joke more than questioning scientific research

I need to remind myself people here aren't as dumb (or dumber depending on how much you like the hardon joke) as you average internet user and maybe lower my defense a couple notches.
