I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.
Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.
Do your worst!
I'm surprised it hasn't decade.

##science in Armenia: quantum, physics, cleanrooms, isotopes, military & economy
Interview with Ani Aprahamian, the head of National Science Laboratory (Yerevan Physics Institute).
What are your institute's priorities this year?
We expect a number of significant developments. The first is the creation of a new department of quantum physics and technology. Armenia will be part of the global tech development. International scientific institute "Gate 42" will partner with us.
We will use the radioactive isotopes produced by the cyclotron to test some basic aspects of quantum physics.
We are developing the lab infrastructure. The new cryogenic center will allow us to produce special hyperbaric units, which could be sold in the international market besides being used locally.
We will have an advanced laboratory of detectors with state-of-the-art digital electronics detectors, which will enable our scientists to compete for international projects.
We will also have Armenia's first-ever "Class 1000 Cleanroom" which will allow us to have progress in material science, high-precision operation of detectors, etc.
Science allows us to solve healthcare, economic, and security issues. I prepared and sent an offer to the World Bank and diasporan colleagues; it'll be discussed during the government session next week. This will give Armenia an opportunity to take a serious step forward. It is the investment in science that will lead to economic success.
Tell us more about the Class 1000 Cleanroom
Armenia has none at the moment. Its introduction will allow us to conduct studies that are completely impossible right now. We were thinking about invisible materials in the case of infrared radiation, which could help us during a war.
Additionally, cleanroom allows us to demonstrate the capabilities of our existing devices and further develop mid-level infrastructure to bring it to the global market. We signed a memorandum of cooperation with multiple institutes for utilizing the cleanroom. It shows that there is demand for it.
We presented the cleanroom project to ARPA and they agreed to finance it. We need to import the filters from the United States to build the cleanroom.
Will universities and other institutes be allowed to use your lab?
Of course. The goal is to provide access to students and researchers.

I said "hey look, an escaPEA"
No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!
Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies 😂
It really does, I swear!
Because she wanted to see the task manager.
Heard they've been doing some shady business.
They’re on standbi
