Ah yes, the wonderful wandering minds of the Tumblr community pull through yet again with a ridiculous little thread about the wild superstitions that humans can end up being possessed by. We can all fall prey to carrying assumptions about people just because of the industry that they work in. Like, some folks might assume that scientists aren't as silly as the rest of us. Well, that couldn't be further from the truth. Check out some more Tumblr gems and sweet tweets to battle boredom over here.

    Organism - 6-phds-and-no-sense Follow sometimes people try to tell me that scientists are paragons of rationality and I have to break it to them that I have yet to work in a lab that didn't have at least one weird secret shrine in it 6-phds-and-no-sense Follow new guy: why is all of the equipment in this room covered in toys? me: DONN't touch those new guy: me: they need the toys to function. if they don't all have toys they get jealous. new guy:

    Font - new guy: me: when something breaks just take the wizard and wave it around for a while. they seem to like that. thebaconsandwichofregret Follow Science is rational, scientists are human. eabevella Follow In Taiwan we have a special brand of snacks named TeaTE (Iliterally means “well behaved" but in a casual way like when one's compliment a child or a pet of being good) that has green package.

    Font - It has become the lucky charm in the IT industry because engineers believe it will make machine acting good (like the name of the snack) and stay in green light (like the color of the snack's package) when a īEaja is put on top of a server. It is the only food allowed in a server room and the biggest semicondoctor company in Taiwan (which is also the biggest worldwide) even commissioned the snack factory to make a customized version with blessing on the package.

    Food - tsme WHS. FAB14A 222KE FAB14A 222KR の油3 TILE 你一包我一包 你一包我一包 .... 機台亚乖不出包 機台乖不出包 This is how a server room is blessed by Ta. You put at least one on top of each server. It's important that the engineers change them before the expire date because legend says the snack looses it's power after expire date. 000

    Fixture - You'll hear engineers swearing up and down that their server room crushed down the one time they forgot to change the snack. Or some newbie ate the forbidden snack put on top of their server and caused a disastrous crush down.

    Font - The TeaTe religion later spread to all people who want their machine to act nice. In the lab we put TETE on ultra-low freezer (you really don't want it to drop dead along with your 2 years' worth of sample/data), mass spectrometer etc. When Taiwan's about to launch the first self made satellite in 2017, the develop team even put TETE around the satellite model to prey for a successful launch (it did). This shit is real.
