:+1! And Ponytail gets banned from particle physics conferences? Or her biology license is revoked. https://xkcd.com/410/ --[[Special:Contributions/162.158.90.108|162.158.90.108]] 16:57, 31 January 2018 (UTC)

I suppose it's not okay to copy and paste random portions of other articles here in hopes of creating a super explanation?[[Special:Contributions/162.158.75.16|162.158.75.16]] 20:41, 31 January 2018 (UTC)

Does this remind anyone of [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rbenrpfuxHs|_ Tom Scott's Piña Collider?]
:no but it reminds of the Higgs boson search by looking and bananas and acorn squash http://sci-ence.org/higgs/
:Odds that inspired this by showing up in Randall's recommended videos? [[User:Wizardofdocs|Wizardofdocs]] ([[User talk:Wizardofdocs|talk]]) 06:34, 11 September 2021 (UTC)

There's a new-year's day ''for trees''? This fact alone deserves its own comic! [[User:ProphetZarquon|ProphetZarquon]] ([[User talk:ProphetZarquon|talk]]) 21:44, 31 January 2018 (UTC)

:::: If you google the jewish holiday for the trees, you will see it is actually a “new year’s day” for the trees. [[Special:Contributions/108.162.216.160|108.162.216.160]] 12:06, 1 February 2018 (UTC)

If only, if only.  Orange juice is somewhat sour, and pineapple juice cloyingly sweet, but what would the combination fruit be like?

Why does the explanation say that many people " ind the high seed-to-flesh ratio offputting when eating" pomegranates, when in pomegranates the seeds are actually the tasty thing you want to eat instead of the flesh?--[[User:Lupo|Lupo]] ([[User talk:Lupo|talk]]) 17:44, 12 October 2018 (UTC)

While it's not a particle collider, we got pink grapefruit using the science of radiation gardens where they basically buried a radioactive element, planted things around it, and looked for interesting mutations. -[[Special:Contributions/172.70.134.27|172.70.134.27]] 13:43, 13 February 2024 (UTC)
:Sort of (one particular variety was developed/discovered this way). But it's a fascinating read, the art of {{w|Atomic gardening}} (though there's better articles about it than there). Related: Back in the '80s I got some of the tomato seeds that had been irradiated in space (foil packed to the outside of a satellite, retrieved again during the main Shuttle era), but the gardner I gave them too heard ('on the grapevine', I suppose!) that they were dangerous and got rid of them without even letting me know...
