How Different Majors Excuse Themselves for Not Having Their Homework

Music majors: none of the practice rooms were open so I couldn’t practice

Philosophy majors: did I do the homework on nihilism? nope. Nothing matters anyway.

Computer science majors: it WORKED on my LAPTOP

Art majors: I painted a gorgeous painting but then my friend drew all over it so I couldn’t bring it to class

Engineering majors: the robot ate it

Ceramics majors: it exploded in the kiln

Nuclear physics majors: it exploded

I need to make a “what type of ionizing radiation are you” buzzfeed style quiz, but I fear I couldn’t be unbiased. Like ofc I am going to make myself a neutron but like what if I am not actually a neutron. Like I am 100% a neutron. Not cause they are fat phobic or anything but because they are a pain in the ass and don’t act normally. But like what questions would I even put on this quiz. How does one determine which type of ionizing radiation they are?

i dont get fission and fusion😭

how can H-1 + H-3 → He-4 be exothermic if

H-1 + H-3 has a total binding energy of 1.4(10^-12)J

but He-4 is 4.4(10^-12)J

how

the left hand side has less energy so you need to put energy in to get the right hand side??????
