They are usually pretty big. The one I used back in uni took up half the roomhttps://twitter.com/GidMK/status/897218694480142336 …

They are also usually just for individual samples - you put a sample in one end and a reading comes out

The point being that even if you COULD get all of them on a roof, it would be a hilarious waste of time

These thoughts came about when I was watching Luke Cage and they were yelling about "saline" and "acid"

"saline" is basically just salty water. They were freaking out about how they needed to add salty water to acid

The acid was also boiling. If you've ever tried boiling vinegar, you'll know that acid in your lungs is not fun

And yet, their biggest worry was the salt (it wasn't even saline, which I found hilarious)

It wouldn't have been hard to think of an actual gadget to go on the roofs or an actual medicine to go in the acid bath #scicomm
