Sooo I accidentally bought jumbo forceps instead of large forceps for bumble bee colony work. Are they comically large and totally impractical? Yes. Will I seize every opportunity to use them, starting with comparing its size to common items for my own amusement? Also yes.

Y’ALL I put my phone on silent because I was coding but this is....wild. I feel so validated that all you science nerds laughed as much as me.

Also..... I looked up the link to share and... *sigh* there’s a literal RULER in the product image. Let’s just not talk about it. https://bioquipinc.com/catalog/lab-equipment-supplies/forceps/extra-long-forceps-for-collecting-or-handling/
