TBF if someone tased you every time you set your phone down you’d fucking remember
I only turn into goo after a particularly bad day at work, though.
Or for the pretty ladies, but that’s different.
Parenting method from the year 3000
bold of you to assume that you will be able to put down your phone in the year 3000…
Your right, I’d prolly get tased.
They don’t know they’re going to be butterflies. They are driven by instinct to build the cocoon. It is a natural urge, an irresistible drive.
Insects with their tiny brains never really “know” what they’re doing. They just do.
How accurate is this description?
Nice video. Yes caterpillars have a proto-wing internally before they pupate. But, as they say in the video, it’s a myth that they turn into goo in the cocoon. They don’t.
I still remember things from when I was 3, not that weird
they’re invertebrates so being goo is probably okay for them
I know that I’ll be an adult but I still don’t know wtf I’m doing
That’s the best part, nobody knows what they are doing!
Never trust people that say that they know what they’re doing!
If you replied from your phone, it’s probably still in one of your hands.
I wonder what it feels like to be a brain in a goo sac
I mean, that’s pretty much what we are.
A brain driving a meat puppet.
Hey now… Modern science has grown to where we now understand that we are an entire nervous system driving a meat puppet.
They’re made out of meat?!
Yeah, thinking meat!
When they communicate they do it by flapping pieces of meat!
That’s disgusting!
i can’t believe they still couldn’t answer the question after three whole paragraphs
There isn’t any way to know. We can test memories they had from one form to the next, but only in one direction. Can’t really ask them or probe their brain to find out what they know.
Has metamorphosis physiology been studied in detail with CT scans, electrodes? It sounds like one of those weird things that could really impact biology if understood in depth for things like regeneration and neuron plasticity…but maybe it’s too far to be useful to humans :/
Butterflies are just crazy animals in general. Back in the 1800s there was even a naturalist arrested in Chile because they thought he was spreading lies about them https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/insect-metamorphosis-evolution/
How does goo store memories??
The thing about turning into literal goo is a myth.
I looked it up and apparently it’s half true, they mostly turn into goo but some parts don’t.
I imagine they feel like “man, I really need to turn to goo” in the same way we are like “man, I really gotta take a shit”
I would fucking love to be a pile of goo for a couple of hours. I feel you, little caterpillar.
That’s basically why I was a heroin addict for 15 years. I just wanted to chrysalis-out the world and goo down.
I still want to but I’m clean now :|
I’m glad you’re clean though. Keep it up!

Has anyone bothered to ask?

I was making a joke about interrogating a butterfly. I’m sorry if I offended you, comrade.
