A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.
Rules
This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.
as much as i believe languages are living tools, cannot be constrained by rules, and will evolve no matter how much old timers complain
if you tell me about a "venomous mushroom" I'll freak out at the possibility of such a being existing faster than you can explain how you don't really see a reason for the distinction between venomous and poisonous and that other languages don't even have it
To be fair, knowing how weird fungi can be, I wouldn't be entirely surprised.
Predatory fungi are, somewhat unsurprisingly, a thing, after all, though they don't seem to use poison...
In German venomous and poisonous is the same word. It absolutely does work.
