You can have an inflamed urethra, as a treat.

My summer job, apparently.

Based on these comments, I question everyone’s commitment to SparkleMotion.

His ball of choice is likely a bit smaller than a golf ball. Should fit fine. Might need a stepladder.

Websites work very well and are scalable af. A plugged in person with a track record like that could go Web 2.0 and probably net more.

For your added nuance and insight, submit an invoice for a couple hundred K. Seems about right for a full minute of work.

Speaking of that, does anyone know the deal behind the ‘drug take-back days’ that US police sometimes do? I mean, who actually drops off drugs at a police station?

Unequivocally yes.

I got a contest going with my plant systematics cohort (8 credit hours over an academic year, that’s a lot of plant id work). We would see who could come up with the filthiest mnemonics to remember plant families and such.

Our professor, a brilliant botanist with a filthy mind and tenure, was delighted beyond measure at how well the entire cohort did on the practical plant ID exams. But mostly he enjoyed watching our classroom discussions.

There are too many fscking proteins and I won’t put up with it anymore!

Strawberry seeds are designed by a malevolent god to stick perfectly in human front teeth.

The best theory I have ever heard, in terms of it being the most realistic scenario, is that the real reason was to keep a disciplined army busy between conflicts.

Under this idea, the occasional alignment to specific stars or celestial events is real, but not the real utility. The real utility is keeping a standing army ready during a period of empire building.

I always tend to favor historical hypotheses that use realpolitik.

Weekend warriors on a men’s retreat. Anything to avoid going to therapy.

Awesome resource, thank you for posting it.

Here’s one reason why a hip level perspective would be so helpful as a neuroscience tool. It is an ethical and reversible experimental intervention that could add real experimental power to functional brain-body mapping.

Combine the perspective shift induced by the virtual rearrangement of sensory input with fNIRS for cortical imaging, perhaps before, during and after the hip-view experience. A company focused on near infrared cortical imaging products

I am certain a proper neuroscientist could come up with even better and more detailed questions to ask using the method.

Something like this could even be used as a therapy tool for trauma, perhaps, once the impact of the perspective shifts were understood well. A common trauma response is dissociation and common therapy methods include ways to help people reconnect with their whole bodies again.

The body is the mind. Change your body, change your mind.

Just saying, polymorph spells are problematic.

So now I actually think this idea is on to something brilliant. I have been diving into neuroscience lately and this sounds like an amazing experimental method.

It’s like non-surgically transplanting your eyes into your hips. Why do that? To further refine brain-body mapping.

We turn our head instinctively to aid vision. Once our brain realizes that visual input improves only when we move our hips, body awareness will shift significantly.

@DoubleSpace@lemm.ee the best ideas start as jokes

The hips do not lie. Ipso facto, you would be seeing ultimate truth.

It turns out that the meaning of life is at crotch level.

Yes, but I think OP’s point is those 5-6 crab-events all came from a narrow taxonomic group. All plant families have some trees. Only one sub-group of animals contains crabs.

It is as if all trees only came from members of the lily family.

First, we bio-engineer bacteria and fungi to prefer plastic as food.

Second, these bacteria become a serious endopathogen in the human body while scavenging our precious bodily microplastics.

Third, we engineer a bacteriophage to attack the bacteria in our brains.

Fourth…

The whole human comedy just keeps going and going

Is this actually satire? It’s a reasonable telling of events.

It’s very nice to find someone else who is deeply concerned about the problem of recursive homunculi.

Why is no one else talking about this? Can’t they see the danger we are all in?
