“We managed to hook it up to a speech translator too, but all it would do was scream. So we unplugged it.”
Totally not horrifying at an existential level.

Yeah, it would be absolutely horrifying to be a brain with no external senses.
It’s impossible to even imagine what that would be like. Would you still “feel” a body? Would there be phantom pains? Would you just be going through a dream-like state or would you be completely blank except for your thoughts?
Horrifying.
I’d imagine that since our brains have to interpret all information (not just the sensory we are conscious of, but also incoming “status updates” from all of our anatomical systems) that it would be so confused with the lack of information it would be too over/underwhelmed to spare the energy for organized conscious thought.
ah, sweet manmade horrors beyond my comprehension
Amazing. Fucking scary but also kinda of amazing. But fucking scary
But also kinda amazing
But very fucking scary
But also kinda amazing!
Bring on the Futurama decapitated heads baby!

I encourage everyone to keep knee jerk reactions at bay and RTFA. This could help us learn a lot about interactions between the brain and the rest of the body
Does RTFA stand for ‘read the full article’ or ‘read the fucking article’?
Yes

did any of you guys read this article? This is just about the blood, not the nerves. Basically to assist with research about what different concentrations of blood nutrients do.

Someone obviously pissed in my brain jar.
I’m over thirty. Beam me into the hive mind, Scotty, this body has seen its best days already.
