    Physics clubs always pull out the liquid nitrogen ice cream, so licking is an option!

      As long as it’s the ice cream you’re licking and not the liquid nitrogen.

      Purposefully licking things.

      Chemists of old were a bit less safety conscious than we are today. Tasting the chemicals you just made was just part of the job back then.

        Given most software engineers develop in a cloud environment, I would… I mean my friend would have to shove their head into a server rack that is consuming high amounts of wattage. My friend would then have to try reaching for the motherboard by extending their tongue.

        The only problem I see here is travelling to the data centre which are often located in different countries or even continents. I am not sure if their employer would cover that expense.

        Thanks for sharing the insight. Apparently, it was a speed run hack on Xbox for an old SpongeBob game.

        So, there’s some precedent set in the field of computer peripheral licking to improve results.
