    I had trauma watching the pain Olympics as a child. I would rather not see it again.

  Too bad they don’t know how to not dry up on the sidewalk yet

  Is each a clone of the original with the same memories? Or are they their own “personalities”?

    This piqued my curiosity so I dug into it a bit on Wikipedia. Most worms are dumb as fuck, roundworms are about as dumb as they come with total neuron counts for a roundworm being comparable to a microscopic tartigrade (300 vs 200). Most of this is located in the head of the worm in a brain like structure though, so I’m betting the clones develop their brains independently with no information transfer. I doubt there’s a ton of learning/memory forming going on at all though, based on how simple worms are, so it’s probably functionally identical. I would be surprised if most worm species exhibit any kind of learned behaviors ever.

      Techbros will still claim that generative AI possesses less intelligence than the worms as an excuse to keep enslaving them.

    I would imagine only the original retains memories

  Salt, sun, dryness and especially FIRE are needed to kill them, they’re invasive, endanger local flora/fauna and don’t have enough natural predators.

  Worm of Theseus?

  • scutiger@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    It’s the opposite of a worm of Theseus. Each individual part becomes a new whole.
