The violin is a microscopic image rather than a playable instrument

Ceci n’est pas une pipe…

[-] [email protected] 25 points 5 days ago

The violin is a microscopic image rather than a playable instrument and has not been officially confirmed as the world's smallest violin, the university said.

"Officially". What's the governing body for this?

An Irish beer company, weirdly.

...wait a minute, I thought they did harps!

[-] [email protected] 3 points 5 days ago

I never put those things together.. wow.

Michelin Stars? Yeh, the tyre company recommending restaurants

That one I did know, and is equally weird without the context of it being some sort of road trip guide for the wealthy.

Humans are fucking weird yo.

Calling it now, invest everything you have, that image is gong to become a meme

[-] [email protected] 23 points 5 days ago

Well damn, I always thought it was this one:

tiniest violin

[-] [email protected] 7 points 5 days ago

No no, that’s the worlds smallest cello

[-] [email protected] 1 points 4 days ago

I noticed that! The bug is also playing it all wrong.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 5 days ago

It looks like they've beaten this record by a factor of ~3! From ~100um to 35um. What an advancement!

Wow, just in time for Elon v. Musk: The Bitch-Off

He does seem to be self-destructing.

MSNBC Recap of the situation.

Basically Musk attacked Trump on Twitter over the big bill. It’s been escalating rapidly with Musk insinuating Trump should be impeached and threatening to start a “centrist” political party and Trump threatening Elon’s government contracts.

Yesh. I’m familiar with the trump v. Musk thing. I was poking light fun at OP’s typo : Elon v. Musk.

[-] [email protected] 8 points 5 days ago

Actually, a Musk party might be the best thing that happens to the US political system.

Not because it would be a good party, but because it may lower the bar for more parties.

The Bitch-Off

Can we make this the official name of whatever the hell is happening now?

[-] [email protected] 3 points 5 days ago

Now the biggest popcorn to contrast => perfect combo

[-] [email protected] 21 points 5 days ago

Considering the spat between Trump and Musk, this is very well timed.

Finally, some classic Onion writing...

...wait, what do you mean this is real‽

Scientists are being oniony fr

I knew it was too good to be true but had to check :( Everyone go home, you can't play it

[-] [email protected] 2 points 5 days ago

I want to know what the smallest playable violin is. This is just a tiny image.

I got Magritte on the line, he says it's not a violin

[-] [email protected] 5 points 5 days ago

The violin is smaller than a human hair and has "laid the groundwork" for future research.

... more like "the groundwork for future memes" I suppose

[-] [email protected] 5 points 5 days ago

I will play it when people I dislike get sad.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 5 days ago
