I Need To Call Her (Poison Control)
The forbidden finger dip! Nothing says "I'm about to have a really interesting hospital visit" quite like this mercury bath. The high surface tension of mercury creates that satisfying non-wetting effect, but the neurotoxicity creates the even more exciting "I might forget my own name" effect. Pro tip: If you're looking to speed-run your way to chelation therapy, this is definitely one way to do it. Next time just use gallium for your metallic finger fetish—slightly less toxic, equally shiny.

Newton's Third Law Of Gym-namics
Someone's about to get a crash course in Newton's Third Law! This gym genius has chained a weight plate to his waist while running on a treadmill. For every action (him running forward), there's about to be an equal and opposite reaction (that weight yanking him backward when the chain goes taut). Physics doesn't care about your gains, bro—it's gonna win this tug-of-war every time. Natural selection at work in the natural habitat of bad ideas.

Would This Do Anything?
Behold, the classic "let me jump-start my brain" approach! Someone's attempting to apply basic electrical principles to human biology by connecting a 9V battery to their nose. Spoiler alert: your neurons operate on millivolts, not the 9,000 millivolts this battery's packing! The human nervous system uses electrochemical signaling with sodium-potassium pumps maintaining a resting potential of about -70mV across neuronal membranes. Connecting a battery to your nose won't make you smarter or more awake - it'll just give you a weird tingly sensation and possibly a small chemical burn. The "wakey wakey" caption perfectly captures that 3 AM desperation when your neurotransmitters have officially gone on strike. Next time, maybe try coffee instead of turning your olfactory system into a circuit board?
