Thanks for the lab meme picture. I miss r/labrats :'(

I too was doing an analytic chemistry course when this first popped :) Never forget

But is it the same sponge? Inverse ship of Theseus!

It’s like the metamorphosis of a caterpillar into a butterfly. It basically melts into a goo inside it’s chrysalis, but apparently it’s been demonstrated that they can retain things they learned before metamorphosis, so…🤷♂️

I forget which episode it was, but on Last Week Tonight someone compared some process to “turning a fried chicken nugget back into a live chicken.” To which John replied “If you managed that, that chicken would be FUCKED UP. Imagine the poetry it would write, ‘the things that I saw, buck buck bacaw…’”
A sponge can un-puree itself but I bet there’s a kind of scream we can’t hear that it would never stop making.

I think the star trek transporter debate is more apt.

Not after I’m done, never be the same again…

My brain totally omitted the first instance of sponge and for a moment I thought we were making sponges out of military personnel from a specific branch of the military.
pappabosley@lemm.ee 10 months ago
I read sponge, but thought it must be a term for new recruits or something like that, which made the rest horrifying.

given the history of experiments on military personel, it wouldn’t surprise me if we did

All of them?

not all of them.
Only the tasty ones
Clinicallydepressedpoochie@lemmy.world 10 months ago
How you think we know which ones are tasty?

If I chop you up, in a meat grinder, and the only thing that comes out becomes you again… You are probably a sponge

The Aperture Science Enrichment Center welcomes you to the Aperture Science 3 meter sieve. The only exit from this hermetically sealed chamber is through the carbon nanotube mesh covering the doorway. If you are not able to negotiate the carbon nanotube mesh on your own, an Aperture Science 90 kiloton hydraulic persuasion piston will assist you in the experiment. Testing protocols require us to inform you that in some rare cases the carbon nanotube mesh may irritate your skin, eyes, bones, and central nervous system.

When Leeto got bored of the Duncans and didn’t use his prescience. Don’t mind me been listening to the Dune series for the umpteenth time again. Just the core ones of course.

Get that grinder fired up! We might have to feed some of the bigger ones through a wood chipper…
For science!

Not an animal
wischi@programming.dev 10 months ago
Honest question. How is that sponge an animal and how is “animal” defined? If we grind something through a sieve and it reassembles surely the lifeform can’t be to complicated.

I hope spongebob never read this

Why? It might be kind of reassuring. Nasty car crash? Pull yourself back together.

Have you ever seen Spongebob? Way worse things happen to him.
supersquirrel@sopuli.xyz 10 months ago
I feel bad about the one time he tried to start a fire and it worked until he realized he was hopelessly underwater.
JasonDJ@lemmy.zip 10 months ago
Right? I wouldn’t be surprised if this has happened to him. He works in a fast food restaurant ffs.

You probably don’t want to know the details of any science done before… Probably the 90’s?
mmddmm@lemm.ee 10 months ago
I’d restrict it to the 2010s to be sure. But it varies from one specialty to another.

The lack of pain-empathy in healthcare is mind-blowing. I’m a white man in an excellent position to be listened to, but when I had appendicitis last year getting people to understand that no, I am in crippling pain and I think it’s urgent was far to much hassle for someone in crippling pain. I can’t imagine what it’s like for women.
I can understand folk getting jaded eventually but I often get the feeling that many people start out not caring.
SARGE@startrek.website 10 months ago
You know, it’s always funny when sci-fi shows have doctors that refer to current year medical practices as “barbaric” or “Savage”, but honestly looking back just 50 years? Same feeling.
200 years ago, the local “doctor” will probably tell you to take a swig of the bottle he just dumped on your wound, because he’s gotta saw it off. Hopefully they at least washed it since it’s last use.
200 years from now? Eh. Doc will wave a light over it, you’ll be fine.

We still have jokes and common knowledge about being sent to the psych ward if you reveal anything weird about your mind. I’ve heard stories only a few years old of doctors refusing to refer trans patients to gender clinics, which quite often means either needing to circumvent the system or death. Only last year I had the revelation that doctors are supposed to help me, not just tell me what I must do.
TheFogan@programming.dev 10 months ago
No actually works on more. If you grind a human into a seive into salt water, pour the salt water into a busy walkway.
After forensics is done in there… the cleanup crew also organizes it into sponges, Mops… and all kinds of tools.

Pretty much any animal. AFAIK, no burger has ever reorganized itself into a cow.

Some of you will be fighting for your planet. Some of you will be dying for your planet. Some of you will be forced through a fine screen mesh for your planet. Those will be the luckiest of all.
