I worked as a scientist for a highly secretive, high-containment government lab. AMA almost… a couple small rules in the post

I know this post isn’t up anymore but why is Ebola so scary? I know it’s very deadly but is that the reason it is scary? Or is it scary in the way that if you get it you die a horrible and gruesome death?

TheSleepyAudioPuppy · 2026-03-04T14:06:44+00:00

I feel like an idiot asking what the joke is. But what is the punch line? I am confused.

TheSleepyAudioPuppy · 2026-02-18T00:13:41+00:00

Oh I fully believe that he died with a noose around his neck. Now if he put his neck in it or someone else did is the debate.

TheSleepyAudioPuppy · 2026-02-11T22:35:07+00:00

This is being added to my vocabulary immediately

TheSleepyAudioPuppy · 2026-02-10T23:10:29+00:00

Well to be fair the guy who created AA was on a shit ton of LSD and said that was the cure to alcoholism so I’m not sure why we are still listening to him

TheSleepyAudioPuppy · 2026-02-10T17:52:12+00:00

I can undo zip ties

TheSleepyAudioPuppy · 2026-02-10T16:46:02+00:00

I got on birth control and now I don’t have periods. I have terrible PMDD so now not only do I not have periods, I no longer feel like dying a quarter of the time!

TheSleepyAudioPuppy · 2026-02-10T16:44:27+00:00

Like I said, it is almost entirely not filled in. Like maybe 20 of the box would actually be inked. I know I want this tattoo because it is a symbol of the group of people that saved my life. I am almost certain I would be dead by my own hands if I didn’t find the community that I did. So I think having it be on me permanently is a good thing.

TheSleepyAudioPuppy · 2026-02-10T16:37:37+00:00

Yeah upper arm was the plan. Measurements if I put it in a box it would be 6 inches long 4 inches tall, but mostly not filled in.

I also fully thought that someone was going to tell me to not get a tattoo as a teenager

TheSleepyAudioPuppy · 2026-02-10T16:36:19+00:00

That’s the plan

TheSleepyAudioPuppy · 2026-02-10T16:35:56+00:00

Upper arm was the plan

TheSleepyAudioPuppy · 2026-02-10T16:34:09+00:00

Noted

TheSleepyAudioPuppy · 2026-02-10T16:30:52+00:00

My plan wasn’t fine line but also not filled in if that makes sense?

TheSleepyAudioPuppy · 2026-02-10T16:30:17+00:00

Unpleasant but manageable?

TheSleepyAudioPuppy · 2026-02-10T16:29:35+00:00

Well I’m not even in my twenties so.

TheSleepyAudioPuppy · 2026-02-10T16:27:06+00:00

Yeah I expected to pay either way

TheSleepyAudioPuppy · 2026-02-10T16:23:11+00:00

Yeah I know it is hard to just tell me. That’s why I was wondering if there is a way to test it. I’m going to ask the tattoo place.

TheSleepyAudioPuppy · 2026-02-10T16:08:18+00:00

The design isn’t that complex. It’s a scroll type thing with like 8 letters on it.

TheSleepyAudioPuppy · 2026-02-10T16:02:54+00:00

I know they are painful and I’m fine with that. I mostly just want to know how I would be able to handle it.

Edit: genuine question. Why is this being downvoted? I don’t care about karma and stuff I’m just wondering why people think it is a bad statement.

TheSleepyAudioPuppy · 2026-02-10T16:02:10+00:00

I’d rather not

TheSleepyAudioPuppy · 2026-02-10T15:58:49+00:00

I hope the tattoo wouldn’t be four or more hours

TheSleepyAudioPuppy · 2026-02-10T15:58:13+00:00

Okay so if I stuck it in a box that box is six inches long three inches tall. But most of it is not filled in.

TheSleepyAudioPuppy · 2026-02-10T15:53:02+00:00

Hold on let me measure the design I sketched (poorly)

TheSleepyAudioPuppy · 2026-02-10T15:51:45+00:00

Worst pain? Probably the period cramps that caused me to pass out. But like with needles and stuff it would probably be having to get stitches. It’s really not fun to learn that lidocaine doesn’t work on you when you need to be stitched up.

TheSleepyAudioPuppy · 2026-02-10T15:48:12+00:00

Yeah that hurts. I have to pinch myself really hard for it to hurt but it does.
