Michael, stop playing Oregon Trail in the lab.
Hey, sometimes we also have glass boxes or boxes with screens on them where the magic happens too.
My favorite part is when the magic happens.

Can't be good for ya

OK but do they go beep boop, or brrr, or pfffh, or eeeiiigh?
Most of them have programmable sounds so the researchers can more easily impress people and get more grants.
Programmable? Look at rich guy over here!
In our lab all machines apparently use the same sound chip. So when you heard the beep, you had to check if it was the dish washer, the centrifuge, the oven or the automatic water measuring scale.
everyone should set their phone notifications to the same sound for maximum insanity, call it an experiment

Now I want to know why the material has its color like it does. Anyone?
Because that's the color of undyed plastic.
I could be very wrong but it looks to be the same color as old computer cases. These got their color from a study by the German government which color would work best in an office environment. It was then written into health standards for the use in office environments for a time.
"And just what is it that happens inside the box?"
"Quantum yeets!"
