I accidentally made a compass in my sink.

Closest I can think is that I put ice cream in a bowl right out of the dishwasher and it shattered from the temperature change

A wire got laid around a plasma globe and I bumped into the end of it and it scorched my skin.

no example ITT will have a control group so they don't really classify as experiments

similar.

i was smoking a hookah, took the coal off and put it in the ashtray, it was really cold that day and the damn thing exploded. pretty cool.

also : tinfoil + draino + 2 liter = bomb. but i didn't really find that out by accident

Maybe not often, but on some occasions, when I open up a jar of peanut butter I find a new lifeform inside.

When I was really young (no more than 5 years old) I accidently touched this electric wire you put next to your fence so your dog doesn't dig under it and passed out for a tiny bit.

I touched myself when I was 10 by accident and learned about fapping.

I guess that was science. Biology or shit.

The OP says, "have you ever accidentally done science?"

"Doing science" seems pretty broad but the OP's example of making a compass is close enough I think.

More on topic though I remember a post on reddit (if someone has it saved please link it) where a guy was in his high school or college chem lab or something and he accidentally made mustard gas and go in a shit ton of trouble.

It shocks you.

I accidentally did the same thing a while ago at a camp I went to. I then proceeded to trick people with it.

>Hey anon, can you take a picture of me for my parents?
>uhh yeah sure, but whats up with your camera?
>Oh, I dropped it and the thing fell off
>oh, okay

Then the kid with the pacemaker decided to get into the fun....

I put a warm water bottle in the fridge so it could get cold fast, then forgot about it for like, 4 hours. I finally remembered, and opened up the freezer, expecting the water to be frozen solid. To my astonishment, the water was still perfectly in liquid form. I grabbed the bottle, but as soon as I applied the slightest pascal of pressure to it, it immediately supercooled and turned to ice, starting from the top to the bottom. Pretty cool shit. I had been watching Mythbusters that whole day, so the fact that I had accomplished something scientific was made that much better.

Thank god, i was holding back so much rage. op is a giant faggot.

That is almost guaranteed not to have happened, you need so little friction for the magnetic field to be able to turn your thing. Even touching the side of the bowl will stop it, what is much more likely is that the bowl was tilting towards north, by coincidence, and that's what happened.

I accidentally made my mother give birth to me by making my father horny and doing AOE dmg to my -then, future- mother's vagina.

Shit wasn't cash, because they decided to keep me instead of selling me, and that's their greatest achievement, for i am, more of an extra, than ordinary.
