Simple Rules: Expose a DIY PROJECT in which one of 2 things can occur:

Project should never have been proposed (why???)
The execution of a good project idea which turned out horribly wrong (oh god, why???)

If at any time you feel that a specific post isn't living up to this requirement (be gentle as this is a humor sub, not meant to be taken seriously) please feel free to report (give exact reason) and let your voice be heard with downvotes and comments.

Words to live by: "Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could; that they didn't stop to think if they should!"
