Title text: Volunteers needed for a study on transmission of urushiol from digital contact with thin strips of fibrous cellulose pulp. |
Explanation
Transcript
- [A posted flier with nine tear-off strips at the bottom reads: "Volunteers Needed for a scientific study investigating whether people can distinguish between scientific studies and kidney-harvesting scams. (Healthy Type-O Adults Only) TAKE ONE" Five of the nine strips are torn off.]
Discussion
Perhaps the flyer itself IS the study? If many people picks the number then the result would be that people cannot distinguish the scams. 103.31.5.88 (talk) (please sign your comments with ~~~~)
Doesn't work though. Because of the paradox involved. If it is actually a study, it doesn't prove anything if people pick it, because it is not a kidney harvesting scam. And if it is a kidney harvesting scam, it is not a study and thus the result doesn't matter (Except for the people who lack kidneys now)
Actually, it’s hinted at very strongly that it IS a kidney harvesting scam. 172.68.47.6 00:56, 17 November 2017 (UTC)
Yes, I thought it was supposed to be both when I read this one. --108.162.215.58 00:41, 10 May 2015 (UTC)
I wonder how this would work. Maybe some people get a kidney harvesting scam and some get a sugar pill. 172.71.174.237 19:06, 5 April 2023 (UTC)
I'm bothered by the description of paper as 'fibrous cellulose pulp'. To me that implies a liquid, whereas I'm fairly sure paper is a solid. 172.70.90.162 16:36, 8 June 2024 (UTC)
- What part of that implies liquid? Fibrous: no. Cellulose: famously a fibre, if not compressed into a solid form. Pulp: squishy and damp, maybe, but often substantially more tangible and strainable than an actual full on liquid, even at its squishiest and dampest. 172.69.43.174
