I'd post less if I were you. Make it fresh every time instead of just fake fixing everything.

Yeah, it's not even an original idea.
30
Your comment probably made him want to post more, him being a troll and all.
1
Eh, I find it funny.
1
Please stop.
2
He's a troll. How are a Redditors not getting this? You guys are so easy.
1
Fuck this novelty account is going to fuck with my head in the future.
1
Taking this photo seriously made my day. I have gotten NOTHING done after taking this, I'm just too damn proud of it.

Hope it doesn't lay any eggs.
25
It's ok, there won't be any sequels.

Oooh no, white blood cells got to go, go, go GODZILLA!

Such a good song.
10
BOC has a song called Godzilla and are world famous. Anvil has a song called Mothra and never went anywhere. Coincidence? Yes, actually.
12
I've never heard of Anvil. Also, it's BÖC.
2
How I umlaut? And Anvil is a metal band, that went no where, developed a small following in recent years due to the fact that there was a documentary made about them, and how they had been in a band together since middle school.

You are right. There actually is a T-REx cell line. I've worked with them in cell culture. Very handy cell line. http://products.invitrogen.com/ivgn/product/R71007

I know some words in there.

Good Burger reference, you say?
I'm a dude!
He's a dude!
She's a dude!
'Cause we're all dudes! HEY!
2
seems like quite a bargain... I wonder how it goes down with scotch?
1
i never really learned the true value of these lab kits/cells/etc since i never paid for any of it out of pocket. sure, i knew how much they cost but the PI always picks up the tab.
2
AAAYOOO!

T-Cells...T-Virus....Zombies....
I'm watching you...
22
Oh my god, jmascusatf is trying to create ZOMBIE GODZILLA!
12
You mean like Mecha-Godzilla?
5
It's okay, just call King Ceasar. He helped beat the shit out of the first Mechagodzilla.
4
King Caesar scared me as a kid! Dunno why, he just creeped me out. Now Angirus and Gorosaurus: those two were badass!
1
you should google what a t-cell is.
10
He's now tagged "Umbrella Employee".
2
Seriously? If he called them lymphocytes, you wouldn't have had a single thing to say.

What's a T-cell?
13
Its a very important cell of the immune system. The best way to understand their importance is by looking in a situation in which you are missing them. In AIDS, just a subset of the T-cells are eliminated (CD4+). These people get infections much easier, and even cancer (i.e. Kaposi's sarcoma). The cells I were culturing were CD8+ cells, also called Cytotoxic T-lymphocytes. Godzilla on the other hand, I dunno, debris?
25
So that Godzilla was like the protector of your immune system? I bet he eats AIDS for breakfast.
12
without milk
5
"Right this way! Sorry to keep you waiting!"
5
But seared to a delicate crisp with his nuclear fire breath first.
3
This is a nice picture. My blasted CD8's never look like Godzilla. Is it just the picture or is your media clear?
8
My media is clear, I gots a good camera though. Plus they've only been stimulated for 24 hours. So not too much junk in the media yet.
7
What do you do that requires you to blast t cells? Also, how do you do it and why? Everyone else in this thread seems to understand completely what is going on here.
11
What do you need to blast your T-cells with? Can it be done at home?
4
not too much junk in the media yet
Have you been watching tv lately? It's almost all junk
2
If they are so important why you keep blasting em?
3
How would I go about "blasting t-cells" ?
2
It's probably a piece of plastic from your plate
2
HIV attacks all CD4 expressing cells, but it doesn't eliminate them all together. Right?
Once you lose enough helper T cells, though, you start to show symptoms of AIDS, but they're not "all" gone.. Right?
2
I take Enbrel.

Lipofuschin?

So you have AIDS? Fuck. Is it safe to upvote you without a condom? Oh man, oh man, oh man.
-2
I think OPs response may have been to technical. Some T-cells act like Pac-Man and go around chomping up infected cells. The other T-cells help the rest of the immune system to identify pathogens.
2
Infections beware, GodTzilla is here.
10
Blasting your T-Cells.... is that what the kids are callin it these days?
9
All those Japanese cells, getting stomped on. Poor bastards.
8
YES! my shrink-ray worked!
you're all welcome.
7
"blasting my T-cells" is a weird euphemism for masturbating, but I'll go with it
7
I can't help but think "blasting my T-cells" is some kind of r/trees slang.
6
The photographer is certainly a fan of the subreddit ;)
1
yay for scientist stoners!

Its a miracle of god
zilla
5
And Godzuki.
2
What are you blasting them with? I used to work with pulsed electric fields and would blast them with electric fields for a few nanoseconds.
4
When you stimulate cells with a peptide they proliferate and form these "clumps", as immunologists we just call 'em blasts. Or in this case they are currently "blasting".
3
Ahh, LOL. That is definitely different than what I thought. Sweet picture.
2
It looks like Godzilla, but due to international copyright laws, it's not.

Godcell-a

KING OF THE LYMPHOCYTES!

Uhhh... Ummm...
DO YOU EVEN LIFT

This may be one of the most impressive novelty accounts I've ever seen. Everything I've ever tried to draw with an Etch-a-Scetch looks like doo-doo.
line going left... line going up... line going right... line going diagonal.
My "diagonal" ended up looking like stairs every time.
[deleted]
You could say they look a bit
sunglasses
sketchy.
Don't feel bad, he probably uses a magnetic stylus.

You don't have to prove yourself, we know you're legitimate. That guy was just being a know-nothing douche. Great work there though!
Feel bad, a magnet would have no effect.
so your basically erasing to draw?
Magic stylus what?
Though he'd definitely have to be using the etch-a-sketch for the straight lines. And it's not like it's impossible for someone to become good at using one.
On a pocket Etch-A-Sketch?!?! u/Etch_A_Sketcher you crazy for this one!
Is..... is he flipping us off?
[deleted]
How?
I can't even imagine how long that must've taken.
Fuck you eric.
