We Can Stop Doing Science Now Because They're Running Cheese Through a 3D Printer

The seemingly endless pursuit of studying the natural world in hopes of understanding the world in a more meaningful way has come to an end. Irish researches have poured cheese into a 3D printer to make cool shapes, and, well, what's really the point anymore.

At the University College, Cork in Ireland, scientists have poured processed cheese into a 3D printer, so they could make cool designs with it or something. Honestly, I have no idea what the purpose of this experiment was or whether it was successful, but there are now gifs like this:

Why does this exist? I'm not sure, and people on Twitter don't really get it either.
