Is the boiling of piss involved in this process at any point because I’ve got barrels of it just sitting here after listening to the Hell on Earth series.

not as unpleasant as boiling gallons upon gallons of piss, but i don’t see anyone doing lovely oil paintings with religious overtones of CERN guys

fake alchemists never even boiled their own piss

They put piss in the collider?

Weren’t already doing this by accident at plenty of particle colliders, and the new report just kind of determined in retrospect how much lead they had incidentally made into gold, and how much it cost, effectively?

But what happens if we boil the collider in piss

Welcome back, Count St Germain!

we should question why they tried this

The unintended consequence of remastering Oblivion’s alchemy mechanics

To be clear, they also achieved this like 20 years ago.

Never give up

Needed to boil some more piss to make it permanent

Safe to say, no matter what happened, there has been a tear in the Fabric that can’t be untorn

It’s all piss.

👌🏼😂 If only Issac Newton were here to witness this!

That's what these clowns are reduced to? Circus acts? How about some basic research!
Replying to @saywhatagain
Good, they won't need public funding for the FCC.
... And in other pointless news ...

So the stone of philosophers is Hadron Collider.
Replying to @saywhatagain
Amateurs. This was the "guy" that knew how to do It
Replying to @saywhatagain
They literally just repeated an earlier experiment at higher energies. This has been done repeatedly, in variations, for more than 80 years
Replying to @saywhatagain
Did they purify their souls in the process? Because that was the real goal all along.
Replying to @saywhatagain
Glad to see science is reaching a point where it’s de facto magical bullshit. Sure man turn lead into gold I don’t care anymore

@AskPerplexity recreate this image in full metal alchemist art style

The EU4 joke event has now come true.
Replying to @saywhatagain
I once joked to my dad (who works at CERN) whether sciences had learned to transmute metal into gold. I was surprised when he told me yes
Replying to @saywhatagain
yeah, but where can I get some phlogiston that hasn't been stepped on?
