What percentage of people die in some sort of sexy situation?

Double-barreled question: how often do you find sexy things inside people, piercings of genitalia, tattoos on genitalia, etc. etc.

The sheer power in the collider fucks up the magnets.

Some magnets evolve (sorta like Pokemon) into superconducting magnets when they get really cold.

So here's a scientist at CERN, pumping colossal power into these magnets. The more power, the more heat. So you need to up the air-con.

One day the air-con breaks and the superconducting magnet gets just warm enough to de-evolve into a regular magnet.

At this point the magnet pops like a champagne cork, since the magnet can't funnel all the power going in. Now you have two problems: 1) flying metal 2) lots of electricity going no-where in particular.

Not only is this really dangerous, but really costly to fix. Finally, precision is key so you don't want power-spikes or flying metal ruining your measurements.

TL;DR CERN started with training wheels, and is slowly upping the gears to make sure the machine can handle load.

What's the age you thought you were ugliest?

Quick follow up:

Is there a day or age where you think you changed the most? And does that line up at all with a change in how you look?

Like some time in your teens you suddenly change faces. Does that line up with your experiences?

Are there anything you bought that really helped you deal? Like a tool, program, or routine that you found helpful?
