Who's brains are they using that's wild

Based on an informative documentary series called Futurama, they traveled back in time and took the brain out of a freshly-deceased Richard Nixon's skull.

It was a pig's brain.

[–] variants@possumpat.io 13 points 3 weeks ago

Oh duh somehow I misread that they previously used pig brains and assumed they didn't for this

Ok it's official. Keep your Zombie Survival Guide nearby.

More new man-made horrors beyond my comprehention. Just like yesterday and the day before and the day before.

I wonder what tomorrow will bring.

No that long ago if your heart stopped, your were dead. Now if your heart stops we have good chances to rget revived even after several minutes.

This is another step in this direction. Pushing back the boundaries of death.

Yeah, pretty sure what's coming back isn't the same you, losing even a few minutes of oxygen causes massive damage right now.

Disconnected in a jar? That's horrifying. A live action Whisperer in Darkness.

[–] dharmacurious 20 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I'm choosing to believe that without any external stimuli the pig's brain just hallucinates a comforting environment. Pig heaven. Please do not correct me.

[–] stupidcasey@lemmy.world 15 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Ok, I won’t. We’ll just sit here and let you reflect on that hypothesis.

to shreds you say?

I'm instantly reminded of the RoboCop scene where the brains they revived and put into robot bodies all went instantly insane

Who hasn't been mentioned in anyone's bingo?

that website is kinda sketchy, look at the sheer AMOUNT of cookie/privacy things that are enabled by default

[–] InverseParallax@lemmy.world 9 points 3 weeks ago

... Yes... That's the only sketchy thing at all happening here...

Robot Nixon, is that you?
