    I vote that we test whether this works with billionaires too.

    source
    • superkret@feddit.org ⁨19⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      It does! If you teach one billionaire a lesson about the power of the working class, blend them and feed them to another billionaire, the other billionaire will have learned the same lesson.

        Follow up question: do you need to feed one blended billionaire to one unblended billionaire, or would it be sufficient to feed just a certain percentage?

      Well, they are parasitic, after all.

        That is an insult to parasites.

      Weirdly it’s exactly how 40k Space Marines work!

        Goddamn that’s so cool. Every single thing I read about Warhammer 40k makes me think that I would absolutely love this shit. It’s just so… daunting. I wouldn’t even know where to start in order to understand the lore.

      I totally have memories of my ancestors being absolute badasses and influencing nearly all of human history. Put me in the machine and I’ll show you the way to the ark of the covenant so you can foolishly open it and melt your face.

    I remember reading that caterpillars can retain information like this when they metamorphose, during which they basically dissolve into a biological slush before becoming butterflies.

      A lot of the structures are already there and the common conception of turning completely into goo and then reassembling isn’t correct.

      source
      • kamenlady@lemmy.world ⁨20⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

        It couldn’t be just something easy, like turning into goo and back to solid again. No, it has to be something that makes the body horror in The Thing look like nothing but a scratch.

        source
      • Scubus@sh.itjust.works ⁨11⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

        It’s mostly correct. The only remaining structures are the imaginal discs, which can each be as few as 50 cells. There is also a link to some awesome pictures in there.

    So does this mean we can make a Kwisatz Haderach or not?

      You fool, that would take centuries of selective breeding…

    If we could do emotional memory transfer then we wouldn’t need movies anymore.

    Movies are an indirect way of evoking emotions.

      damn hopefully someday we can just cut out the whole experience of watching a movie and just drink a smoothie that makes us melancholy. save a ton of time for sitting on the couch blankly staring at the leech blender we replaced the TV with

    Is that real this chemical memory?

      McConnell’s experiments proved to be largely irreproducible.

      Apparently not so much.

        “(…)However, other experiments seem to support the original findings in that some memories may be stored outside the brain.[1][8][9]”

        Got a link for a debunked tag?

      I added some more context to the body. :)

        Apparently, if that context in the body is eaten, it will be remembered by the head

      Of course not. Why do you rely on others to tell you this, though? You could have looked it up.

      • AntiOutsideAktion@hexbear.net ⁨21⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

        Because asking someone who appears knowledgeable is a thousand times faster than sifting through the shit you have to filter every time you ‘look something up’ in today’s world

    What are the chances, I just read this ‚fact‘ today in The Forever War by Joe Haldeman and was already kinda doubtful.

    So what you are saying is that we should take any scientist that days, make a milkshake of them and feed the next batchnof scientists?

    source
    • Death_Equity@lemmy.world ⁨19⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      That’s what ended the super advanced lost civilizations. They all get advanced enough to figure out feeding scientists to younger scientists preserves knowledge and advances the pace of technological advancement.

      Problem is they didn’t know that it only works once and they ended up killing leaders of innovation and feeding them to children and forgot everything, leading to ruin.

      Read your Bibles people, its all in there.
