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

For science!

All of them.

Only the Polytron reduces an entire mouse to a soup-like homogenate in 30 seconds!

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 too complicated.

Sponge are some of the most simple animals alive. Jellyfish are comparatively not too far off.

I hope spongebob never read this

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 days ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

Right? I wouldn't be surprised if this has happened to him. He works in a fast food restaurant ffs. With a cheap boss and no concept of OSHA or food safety regulations, no less.

If y'all knew what went down in the back of similar restaurants in the real world, you'd probably never eat at a diner again. And that's with OSHA and Health Codes.

Where are the mods!? This comment should have been screened!

You probably don't want to know the details of any science done before... What? the 90's?

[–] [email protected] 12 points 6 days ago (2 children)

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.

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.

Crime Scene Cleaner is such a great game

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

[–] [email protected] 8 points 6 days ago

That's what they want you to think. Wake up!

Well it's always better on the other side
