  • A brain itself doesn’t feel physical pain. That requires a nervous system and pain receptors of which the brain has none. Brain surgery is done with only local anesthesia for the skin and scalp.

    We also know that braindead people don’t suddenly start creating brain waves even if the body gets mechanical resparation and pulse. It’s quite literally “off”. So, I guess the creation of a dead brain won’t feel anything or start thinking about anything by itself.

    The question is what inputs they give these artificial brains. It’ll think that, and that will be it’s “sensory” input. Whether that can cause some emergent brain waves that could be interpreted as emotion or other stuff is impossible to say. I doubt it.




  • I have kids myself, but I don’t feel ashamed of letting them know that I don’t always have the answers or that sometimes I like to jump the trampoline for fun.

    Adults who seem like they know everything and act responsible all the time actually seem “juvenile” in my opinion.

    They don’t really get it, you know? Like they got to that level of life by following expectations and then stopped developing past that and just keep trotting along. Some people get stuck there while others “soften up” when they get grandchildren and less responsibility or whatever.

    People mature in different paces, but the whole “being grown up” is definitely just an optional phase.

    I’ve read that the most fires at gas stations (related to refueling) happen when somebody enters the car while fueling. I don’t know if it’s true, but it has a point.

    The potential static electricity from getting into the seat and the dilution of the gas in the air at that position is a more ignitable combination than holding a lit cigarette right at the nozzle. The draft from opening the door will make different dilutions, so it’s pretty sure that it is ignitable at some point around that position.

    The risk of explosion is quite low at the pump. It’s actually worse if they step away to smoke, because depending on wind there will be a position somewhere in the vicinity of the pump where the gas is easier to ignite. Firing up a lighter there could be bad.

    Anyway. There’s plenty of other good reasons not to smoke at a gas station.

    Is the ring holders poop also invisible?

    Obviously it’s invisible while inside the person, but what happens if they make a little turd? Does it become visible in mid air or does it work like the clothes?

    What if they make a poo poo in the middle of a street while invisible, then walk away to a different town. What happens if the ring is then taken off?
