Scientists recreate conditions of things to gain scientific knowledge on a topic to better be able to observe why or how things happen. This could be done by making miniature versions of events and simulating events using safe methods.

In this comic, [[Megan]]'s lab discovered that the conditions during the seconds after the {{w|Big Bang}} were extremely hot and unpleasant.  They have thus decided to attempt to recreate the conditions of a {{w|tropical}} {{w|beach}} in 2014 instead (7 years prior to when this comic was released). Here, the joke is that instead of recreating a condition  for scientific study purposes, Megan and her crew were simply trying to create a pleasant environment for recreation, in the sense of personal enjoyment.

In this comic, [[Megan]]'s lab apparently tried to recreate the conditions during the seconds after the Big Bang, and were surprised when it turned out the conditions were extremely hot and unpleasant and thus decided to attempt to recreate the conditions of a tropical beach in 2014 instead (7 years ago from when this comic was released). Here, the joke is that instead of undergoing this simulation for scientific study purposes, it seems that Megan and her crew were simply trying to create a pleasant environment for personal pleasure.

The title text is a reference to [[1949: Fruit Collider]] a pun of {{w|piña colada}} (Spanish for "strained Pineapple") and a particle {{w|collider}}: the Spanish word "colada" is pronounced similarly to the English word "collider". Taken literally, "piña collider" would be a pineapple collider, which may be interpreted as a fruit juicing machine for making piña coladas.

:[Megan is standing, pointing a stick at a poster of a particle collision, (as it looks when measured in a particle collider), where many other particles emerge from the central collision, a black spot, with many thin curved lines going away from it, and two larger beams going straight in. Above the upper part of these lines there are three lines of unreadable text, three unreadable labels are written over three of the lines, and there are two unreadable lines of text at the bottom one at each side of the poster.]
