The Great Uranian Diamond Heist
Scientists: "We need more funding for our research." Grant committee: "What exactly are you proposing?" Scientists: "So hear me out... what if we just SET URANUS ON FIRE to steal its diamonds?" The "Dead Planets Society" podcast takes absurdist space heists to a whole new level! Fun fact: Uranus actually might contain diamond rain deep in its atmosphere where high pressure and carbon compounds create the perfect conditions. But instead of developing sophisticated extraction technology, these cosmic arsonists suggest the planetary equivalent of burning down a bank to get to the vault. Neptune's over there like "don't give them any ideas..."

When The Mirror Test Gets Crashed By A Triangle
Scientists are over here listing animals that recognize themselves in mirrors, and then BOOM—a Teletubby-shaped manta ray with a triangle antenna crashes the party! The mirror test is serious cognitive science business—put a mark on an animal, show them a mirror, and see if they recognize "that's ME with something weird on my face!" Dolphins, chimps, and magpies made the elite self-awareness club, but this purple triangle-headed goofball just waltzed right in. Nobody invited you, Triangle Head! Next thing you know, we'll discover that sea cucumbers are solving differential equations when we're not looking!

Aerodynamics Of Saddam Hussein
This is peak computational fluid dynamics humor right here! Someone actually ran a CFD simulation on the silhouette of Saddam Hussein and visualized the airflow patterns. The color gradient shows different pressure zones and turbulence as air flows around the figure. The blue region indicates low pressure, while the trailing green-yellow wake shows the turbulent flow separation. Engineers spend thousands of hours optimizing airplane wings for perfect aerodynamics, and then someone uses the same sophisticated software to analyze... this. Pure scientific shitposting at its finest. The drag coefficient must be terrible, but the meme coefficient is off the charts!
