Scientists create 'world's smallest violin'
(www.bbc.com)
Calling it now, invest everything you have, that image is gong to become a meme
Wow, just in time for Elon v. Musk: The Bitch-Off
Elon v. Musk
Wait, what?
Funny Autoincorrect...
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.
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.
Yesh. I’m familiar with the trump v. Musk thing. I was poking light fun at OP’s typo : Elon v. Musk.
He does seem to be self-destructing.
The Bitch-Off
Can we make this the official name of whatever the hell is happening now?
Now the biggest popcorn to contrast => perfect combo
Well damn, I always thought it was this one:
No no, that’s the worlds smallest cello
I noticed that! The bug is also playing it all wrong.
It looks like they've beaten this record by a factor of ~3! From ~100um to 35um. What an advancement!
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
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.
I knew it was too good to be true but had to check :( Everyone go home, you can't play it
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
I will play it when people I dislike get sad.
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
Where's doge when you need them?
Having a fight with cheeto.
