Okay, I can see ragging on the dudes eating Teflon, but don’t hassle the Italian Pasta Physicists. Those fuckers are on to something.

Chemistry prize makes me nervous.

Brb, painting cow.

OK, the teflon one is monstrous and should get its perpetrators perpetually banned from any position of responsibility, and the drunk bat one depends on whether they force fed the poor critters alcohol or they just ate fermented fruit by themselves, but the rest look like perfectly cromulent science, especially the pasta sauce one... that's important research, and should get government funding.

I spent a long time pinching and squinting to read the text on the image, only to find it transcribed, with links - in the post body...

I'm kinda disappointed by the shoes racks experiment. Like they put a UV light in an enclosed shoes rack to remove odor and that's it.

Of course it degrade the shoes, at 4 minutes it start to create the smell of burnt rubber...

More research is necessary

35th First Annual Ig Nobel Prize

What? You can't have 35 "First" annual events

My Spanish speaking friends have always said that my Spanish gets much better when I'm a bit more than tipsy. Finally somebody confirms this.

There are many free and libre OCR programs, that have way more accuracy than an "AI"

This is wonderful! I'll have to look back through the last 35 years

Who parsed the text in the description? There are several mistakes that totally change the meaning of these. Bats impacted by pigeons and not alcohol, no mention of pasta sauce etc...

The study that won the nutrition prize was clearly just an excuse to go on a protracted vacation to a "seaside resort in Togo."

I would unironically rather win an Ig Nobel prize than a Nobel prize. Granted, it's easy to say this as I'm exceedingly unlikely to win either, but a girl can dream.

The links on the aviation prize don't work.

These are hilarious, but I really hope I don't have to start worrying about people starting to put Teflon in my food
