But I wonder, at what font size did they measure this? 12px? 16px? It only holds four chars: "ATGC"

And was it measured for normal human eyes, or did they use someone with 20/20 vision as the reference?

Just a little organic chemistry thought for the day. 🧪💨

If I am an acid, my perfect neutralizer is supposed to be a base, right? It takes both to create that perfect, stable reaction.

So the real question is, who is the base? Who out there is holding down the other half of the equation? 😂⚖️

Bad news: the “you” that gets to stay is just a scattered pile of atoms doing a slow-motion dive into the soil, while the witty, coffee-fueled consciousness reading this toot dissolves into entropy like a sugar cube in hot tea.
So, death isn’t the end—it’s just the universe recycling your ingredients while losing the recipe. You’ll live on as grass, a squirrel, or someone else’s future sneeze.
