So, if you happen to know them… I have a question.
How doped up on hormones are they? Like, maybe they’re just having the time of their life, Brain riding high on dopamine or whatever butterfly’s have for pleasure, and they don’t even realize what’s going on.
Then, when they pop out and realize what they’ve been doing run off to the shower trying not to think about it

Yes, a paper that they retain “memories”. I didn’t doubt that. I doubted the “turns completely into goo and then solidifies as butterfly” part. And from what I can tell after skimming the introduction of the paper this is only covering the behavioural aspect.

Goo is somewhat metaphorical, but most internal organs get completely disassembled and reassembled in new forms. Neural tissue just changes the least.

Yeah, but again, this says “turns completely into goo” and thats not at all what you are describing either. Its just over-sensationalising an already impressive process. But I can see I am alone with that opinion, so whatever. Total goo it is.
