I propose that - for once - we keep the bot-generated text in this explanation section: "This explanation may be incomplete or incorrect."

:+1! And Ponytail gets banned from particle physics conferences? Or her biology license is revoked. https://xkcd.com/410/ --[[Special:Contributions/162.158.90.108|162.158.90.108]] 16:57, 31 January 2018 (UTC)

I suppose it's not okay to copy and paste random portions of other articles here in hopes of creating a super explanation?[[Special:Contributions/162.158.75.16|162.158.75.16]] 20:41, 31 January 2018 (UTC)
 
 
Does this remind anyone of [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rbenrpfuxHs|_ Tom Scott's Piña Collider?]
 
:no but it reminds of the Higgs boson search by looking and bananas and acorn squash http://sci-ence.org/higgs/
 
:Odds that inspired this by showing up in Randall's recommended videos? [[User:Wizardofdocs|Wizardofdocs]] ([[User talk:Wizardofdocs|talk]]) 06:34, 11 September 2021 (UTC)
 
 
There's a new-year's day ''for trees''? This fact alone deserves its own comic! [[User:ProphetZarquon|ProphetZarquon]] ([[User talk:ProphetZarquon|talk]]) 21:44, 31 January 2018 (UTC)
 
::A holiday =/= new-year's day - [[Special:Contributions/162.158.50.10|162.158.50.10]] 01:25, 1 February 2018 (UTC)
 
:::: If you google the jewish holiday for the trees, you will see it is actually a “new year’s day” for the trees. [[Special:Contributions/108.162.216.160|108.162.216.160]] 12:06, 1 February 2018 (UTC)
 
 
If only, if only.  Orange juice is somewhat sour, and pineapple juice cloyingly sweet, but what would the combination fruit be like?

This reminds me of https://what-if.xkcd.com/116/, especially title text of the last picture: "A hole bunch of strange, extremely massive drivers were created by collision, but all were extremely short-lived." [[Special:Contributions/162.158.238.190|162.158.238.190]] 10:19, 1 February 2018 (UTC)
 
 
Is [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l4qFuIXrfVE|_ Banapple Gas] an early result from the Fruit Collider? [[Special:Contributions/162.158.167.174|162.158.167.174]] 05:39, 8 February 2018 (UTC)
 
 
The hypothesis presented in this strip has now been empirically tested by [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tzJBm3ThjJ8 The Slow Mo Guys].[[Special:Contributions/172.68.110.46|172.68.110.46]] 13:16, 18 March 2018 (UTC)

Why does the explanation say that many people " ind the high seed-to-flesh ratio offputting when eating" pomegranates, when in pomegranates the seeds are actually the tasty thing you want to eat instead of the flesh?--[[User:Lupo|Lupo]] ([[User talk:Lupo|talk]]) 17:44, 12 October 2018 (UTC)
 
 
While it's not a particle collider, we got pink grapefruit using the science of radiation gardens where they basically buried a radioactive element, planted things around it, and looked for interesting mutations. -[[Special:Contributions/172.70.134.27|172.70.134.27]] 13:43, 13 February 2024 (UTC)
 
:Sort of (one particular variety was developed/discovered this way). But it's a fascinating read, the art of {{w|Atomic gardening}} (though there's better articles about it than there). Related: Back in the '80s I got some of the tomato seeds that had been irradiated in space (foil packed to the outside of a satellite, retrieved again during the main Shuttle era), but the gardner I gave them too heard ('on the grapevine', I suppose!) that they were dangerous and got rid of them without even letting me know...
