Just consider their Large Hamster Collider!
It’s a travesty, and last I head, they were colliding billions of hamster per second. You also got to ask what they do with the resulting elephants and whatnot coming out of those relativistic collisions.
“The scientists at the facility are believed to have worshipped or made sacrifices of their computer mice, due to their primitive minds’ beliefs that it would affect the outcome of their experiments.”
I miss the internet when it was like this.
I love that CERN has such a strong bond with their animals. They are even monitoring the quantum entanglements of their sheep: https://home.cern/news/news/cern/cern-scientists-find-eviden...

Oh CERN folks, you beautiful people
The CERN Animal Shelter for Computer Mice is a non-profit organization maintained by CERN staff during their leisure time...
Reminds me of the fact that what to past or future civilisations perhaps looks dystopian or primitive, might just be jokes and a good time

The site is so simple yet has so much soul - a part of internet lost.
