    If my limbs would operate using hydraulics, I’d love for my dead body to be repurposed like that. Mount my carcass on a mobile platform and have me grab things from the top shelf while I shed flakes of decaying flesh, constantly surrounded by the scent of rancid fat and formaldehyde. Give me purpose beyond death.

      Even in death I serve the Omnissiah.

    I’m wondering what it would be like to keep the metabolism of a brain-dead organism going and controlling it via the nervous system, thereby creating a cyborg (but in reverse as opposed to most sci-fi ones).

    Like, imagine an irrecoverable comatose patient whose every speech-related nerve is tapped. Using machine learning, one could create a neural network that maps all muscle movements to sounds and vice versa. The setup could then play any waveform to just about the best of the vocal tract’s ability – in short, turning the body into a peak beatboxer. (With multiple such cyborgs or a looper, one could achieve arbitrary precision at recreating sound waves! There can be actual uses too, like letting paralyzed people speak again, but I all can think of is whether the paper of this research ends up using Bad Apple!! or Never Gonna Give You Up as the demo song, and whether there’s going to be an acapella band touring with effectively propped-up corpses.)

      DO NOT CREATE THE TORMENT NEXUS

      Hello, shut up.

      (Failing that, write a book, call it The Torment Nexus 2: Brain-Dead Boogaloo - that’s a societally accepted way to deal with these thoughts, but do avoid talking about this at convivial gatherings, please, okay, thank you, goodbye.)

      This is the basic premise of Ancillary Justice, by Ann Leckie. But it’s a lot less nice than that.

    I have deep-seated arachnophobia and deeply appreciate the grotesque, and I still feel so bad for the spiders, c’mon! I at least hope they died of natural causes well before someone decided to try using them as a grabber toy… Like, at least that!

      I’m guessing you missed the “Euthanize spider” slide with a little snowflake icon.

        I haven’t seen that one, no!:( It just starts with the spider gripping a raspberry:(

      Well I guess you missed the memes about what we do to horseshoe crabs

      You didn’t just miss “euthanize spider” but also the very “humanely” way of slowly freezing it to death for 5 days. And I share your thoughts. I really really really hate spiders, but I love them. As they’re fascinating creatures with incredible abilities. If that makes sense. Also very useful.

    Why is Goku here?

      Maybe because Goku has been revived multiple times

    • fossilesque@mander.xyz ⁨15⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      Why not?

      • Lumidaub@feddit.org ⁨14⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

        Definitely. Just wondering, because usually there’s a reason people put stuff in videos.

    Cause tiny grabbers are just that hard to make?

    Would this work with a tarantula?

    Sorry for mentioning that
