Unfortunately I don't know her that well and I don't know what go get her. Is there something you guys would love to get? I am also a software dev and can build a piece of software/website for her. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
My sister completed her first degree in microbiology, and worked for many years in the field in a hospital running blood and specieman analysis for the hospital and local prison. She's now in her last year of medicine. Anyway! When she was working I remember seeing a printed picture of a microbe/disease/something that had been under her microscope and was full of colours and quite beautiful (although I believe the sample actually wasn't from memory), she said she loved it and was going to get a proper picture framed. She never did. Although I don't know what it was exactly I thought something just as capturing could be nice framed for Christmas. Does anyone have any favourite pictures they could recommend? Or ideas of where to look? Thanks in advanced!
P.s I had a look through r/microporn but couldn't find too much.
TL;DR sister x-mas present, what's your best looking microscope specimen image?
EDIT: Thanks everyone for your responses, it's greatly appreciated :) I'll have to spend some time searching through the Nikon album they look so amazing.
On Sunday afternoon/evening, I took The Boy (10) to a birthday party at Main Event Entertainment. For those who haven't experienced this place, it's a lot like the bastard offspring of Chuck E Cheese with Dave & Busters. It's louder and more chaotic than either of those, and includes bowling and laser tag. Needless to say, the kids love it. And you know they never really clean most of the stuff in that place... bowling balls and scoring computer touchscreens... video game controls... everything...
So, yeah, The Boy woke up with the flu on Christmas morning. Fever with chills, headache and general aches, coughing and snotting, and even a couple of pukes to put a cherry on this crap-cake. It's not a stomach bug - I think the pukes were mostly stomach irritation from snot. And for Christmas, I got a bill from the off-hours pediatric urgent care (I am glad they exist, though, and I liked the doctor we saw), which did give him a dose of zofran for the nausea and tell me that his lungs/ears/throat all check out as currently-not-requiring-medication. So it's basically a wait-for-him-to-get-over-it situation.
This morning he still has a fever, but I was able to get a Tylenol into him (whereas yesterday he puked it back up) and he was asking for a hamburger. Once he ate some applesauce, he changed his mind and asked for the backup dose of zofran, but I'm still taking that overall sequence of events as a tiny hint of improvement...
Husband is off to work and had to take my car (dead battery in his truck). I'm not good with sick, especially where it involves puking. The Boy is spending the day on the couch watching cartoons while I try to convince myself not to run away.
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.
Trigger warning: mentions of suicide
She is... an enigma. If any of you are also a part of r/entitledparents then you might have seen my post on her there.
I have officially moved in with my boyfriend, although she does not know that yet. That will be a dumpster fire in and of itself because of her flavor of Christianity.
Moving in with my boyfriend and dropping all the things in my life that make me anxious has shown me just how not hard life is actually supposed to be. I have decided that I want to take a break from classes, as I have no clue what degree I actually want, and have been too depressed to put forth any actual effort into my classes (depression is not just an excuse, I left high school with a 3.89 GPA and 2 academic state funded scholarships along with others from different organizations, my mother was only paying for my books and schools supplies, the rest of the tuition, I have paid out of pocket or l am actively paying her back for all other tuition and fees). I want to take time to get healthy and reflect. When I do go back to school, I think I will be leaning towards some kind of art or agricultural program. Prior to this I was a biology major with a focus on microbiology and epidemiology, then international affairs and relations, then finally English literature and creative writing. I'm sure you can see why I want to take a step back and reflect, I'm all over the fucking place... lmao.
My mother seems to believe that taking even one more semester off will destroy my life forever and make it impossible for me to get a decent job or start a retirement fund, even though I have always been the best in the family with money and have never had a problem saving. When I have my talk with her about how I'm basically going to financially cut myself off from her before she can do it to me, I will be handing her a check to cover in full all my "outstanding debt" to her that way she has absolutely nothing she can say about my "poor decision making". I have already signed up for my own health and car insurance, the last thing I need to do is just to get my own phone plan, but sadly that has to wait until after our talk as I am hoping that she will be cordial enough about this to allow me to keep my phone number.
But to be honest... I don't know where to go from here. She isn't inherently abusive or anything, the things she says and does don't seem to bother my si
... keep reading on reddit ➡Alot of great jokes get posted here! However just because you have a joke, doesn't mean it's a dad joke.
THIS IS NOT ABOUT NSFW, THIS IS ABOUT LONG JOKES, BLONDE JOKES, SEXUAL JOKES, KNOCK KNOCK JOKES, POLITICAL JOKES, ETC BEING POSTED IN A DAD JOKE SUB
Try telling these sexual jokes that get posted here, to your kid and see how your spouse likes it.. if that goes well, Try telling one of your friends kid about your sex life being like Coca cola, first it was normal, than light and now zero , and see if the parents are OK with you telling their kid the "dad joke"
I'm not even referencing the NSFW, I'm saying Dad jokes are corny, and sometimes painful, not sexual
So check out r/jokes for all types of jokes
r/unclejokes for dirty jokes

I can try to give some background information as I have job hopped quite a bit since I entered the workforce in the summer of 2017. Please note I have a B.S.(actually Bull****) in Biology. Disclaimer: The pay increase does not necessarily translate into more money in my pocket as I have had to move to states with higher costs of living.
First job - Worked as a research tech since that was the only job I was "qualified" for. Every other job required three years experience or good old nepotism. Got paid 28k to do experiments for a academic lab which involved euthanizing a lot of mice for the sake of researching a disease. Stayed there for 1 year and 1 month. Still the toughest job I have ever had to this day.
Second job - Nepotism may or may not have been involved. I was sick of my first job and my friend approached me asking me I wanted their job since they planned on going to med school very soon. The job was as a QC microbiologist for a cosmetics company. I said yes and they set up an interview in which I got the job in a week. Pay was 20 an hour as a contractor with no PTO. The original job listing wanted 3 years experience in microbiology and I had about 0 years. Job was easy and didn't have much to complain about until the end part. I stayed there for about 10 months.
Third job - Microbiologist for a state government laboratory that did diagnostic microbiology. I took this job even though the pay was about 1-2k less than the cosmetic job, but it got me 12 days vacation and 12 days sick leave every year on top of government holidays. (The cosmetic company had me work through most holidays except for Christmas in which I just wasn't paid, had to budget through the holidays to make ends meet). I actually loved this job in the sense that I didn't have to do overtime, I had a good work-life balance and didn't feel exhausted every day, AND I got to take a vacation for the first time in over a year and a half. Sadly, I stayed for about 6 months.
Fourth job - Research Assistant. When will I ever learn? Ended up moving to another state since my GF got a new job and I just followed her there. This job involved doing more intricate surgeries on mice and was given even more responsibilities than my first job. Pay was 42k. Worked in the lab for about 3 months then Covid hit and then WFH for a month and a half before I got laid off(if I can't do experiments, then I can't really work).
Fifth job - Back to QC microbiology but now in the biotech industry. Sounds f

How the hell am I suppose to know when it’s raining in Sweden?
Ants don’t even have the concept fathers, let alone a good dad joke. Keep r/ants out of my r/dadjokes.
But no, seriously. I understand rule 7 is great to have intelligent discussion, but sometimes it feels like 1 in 10 posts here is someone getting upset about the jokes on this sub. Let the mods deal with it, they regulate the sub.
They were cooked in Greece.
I'm surprised it hasn't decade.
Now that I listen to albums, I hardly ever leave the house.
Two muffins are in an oven, one muffin looks at the other and says "is it just me, or is it hot in here?"
Then the other muffin says "AHH, TALKING MUFFIN!!!"
Don't you know a good pun is its own reword?
For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.
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!
And now I’m cannelloni

And boy are my arms legs.
Heard they've been doing some shady business.
but then I remembered it was ground this morning.
Edit: Thank you guys for the awards, they're much nicer than the cardboard sleeve I've been using and reassures me that my jokes aren't stale
Edit 2: I have already been made aware that Men In Black 3 has told a version of this joke before. If the joke is not new to you, please enjoy any of the single origin puns in the comments
They’re on standbi
A play on words.
Calcium, nickel, neon
My daughter, Chewbecca, not so much.
