    Scientists aren’t being paid enough, that’s how they found out, right?

      From what I understand, you would probably have to pay geologists extra (and I guess archaeologists) to not lick stuff they dig out of the ground.

        I’m a chemist, and I’ve been gifted beaker tea-glasses and water glasses. They have been made for drinking, have never even been close to a lab, and yet drinking from a beaker makes me actually physically nauseous. It’s 100% psychosomatic, I know it’s fine, but my instincts scream at me not to do this, and I actually become nauseous when I drink water from a beaker.

        So it’s pretty easy not to
