You need to tie-die some lab coats now.

And you will be pied pipers.

(Edit I hope OP work in a lab and not Petco or some shit, otherwise "some experiments" sounds pretty ominous)

is it a punishment?

It's called a "decapicone", it's for humanely decapitating lab mice

[-] TheTetrapod@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago

You are on desktop. You have so many ways to deal with that problem it's not even funny.

[-] Angry_Autist@lemmy.world -1 points 1 week ago

And I am aware of zero of them so welcome to my blocklist unhelpful person
