Chemistry has discovered more than they probably care to admit by accidentally licking things.
Purposefully licking things.
Chemists of old were a bit less safety conscious than we are today. Tasting the chemicals you just made was just part of the job back then.
Chemists of old were plenty safety conscious. Licking the science is what apprentices were for.
We still like to sniff stuff. You’ve got some very sensitive chemoreceptors right on your face, might as well use them!
"Why does my cigarette I left on the lab table taste sweet?" is absolutely the question an inattentive scientists asked himself before he discovered an artificial sweetener.
EDIT: Michael Sveda's discovery of cyclamate at the university of Illinois in 1937
Mouth pipetting is a large part of this.
Biology: Lick here... Yep, that's the spot. Continue... Oh yeah, keep going. Uhhh....
Human anatomy: you’re technically always licking it. And now you’re aware of it. Your tongue on the roof of your mouth. Touching your teeth.
I always hate how well this works...
Also I hope you enjoy manually breathing now as in retaliation
The fuck did I do to you? Now I can feel my tongue and I don't know how to breathe!
I hope you can hear your blinking for the rest of the day!
Geography: You can try, but it's gonna take you a while.
Cartography: "Would you not lick my maps, please?"
History: Fuck You.
Sociology: Allowed and encouraged in some fields, others... better not.
Economics: "Is Human Resources there?"
Medicine: "Next, please." or "Don't, please."
Civil engineering: Go ahead, eat the dirt.
Law: Go to jail.
Political science: Could you please do this somewhere else?
Electronics: Only the low voltage side.
Lick the null and keep on with your life. Lick the phase and suffer. Lick two phases and die.
Mycology: “go ahead have a seat. Lick this one. It’ll be fun!”
Software engineering... If you can lick it, you spelled "click" wrong. And that's why your code won't compile, you complete failure.
NameError: name 'lick' is not defined. Did you mean: 'click'?
NameError: name 'lick' is not defined. Did you mean: 'sudo rm -rf /'?

📞Hello police? Yeah it's this one.📞
In zoology, science might lick you, but it might also bite you.
Physics clubs always pull out the liquid nitrogen ice cream, so licking is an option!
Chemistry + licking = cooking
And then there is NileRed, who does lick the chemistry He does.
Chemistry 50 years ago: it is encouraged to smell, taste, and injest all of your work
A quick question, should the software engineer lick the monitor screen or the keyboard?
I… uh… am asking for a friend who is a software engineer.
I am a butterfly instructor.
the motherboard. how else can you tell that it is working?
Given most software engineers develop in a cloud environment, I would… I mean my friend would have to shove their head into a server rack that is consuming high amounts of wattage. My friend would then have to try reaching for the motherboard by extending their tongue.
The only problem I see here is travelling to the data centre which are often located in different countries or even continents. I am not sure if their employer would cover that expense.
ssh into the server and lick your desktop's motherboard
Most keyboards get really gross after a while and are hardly ever cleaned. I'd go for the monitor.
This is why they never get cleaned, you gotta start somewhere. Lick the keyboard!
The butterflies. Someone needs to see if they taste of butter.
You can quest like a tribe does.
You can lick anything at least once.
So you’re saying I can lick Uranus?
If you go there, yes.
Medicine: In here? Sure, that's how you get c diff, staph, e coli...
Lemme just lick my radioactive isotope sample.
We know not to lick it, therefor someone has licked it
Comp sci and software engineering is pretty much the same thing
Economics: How much are you willing to pay?
If the market clears the price is equal to the marginal utility of getting licked
Electronics: "It's useful in testing whether a battery has charge or not."
Philosophy:
"That depends on your definitions, some may call philosophy a science, others may not, what do you think? Can you lick the philosophy?"
There is philosophy in everything. Any time you lick anything, you lick philosophy. Even if you lick nothing, you lick philosophy.
Biology: Yes. Most definitely. Please do.
I'd also lick your anus
You on the lab safety committee, Tip?
A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.
