This is a useful technology…for tyrants.
Potential PTSD treatment. I think this is the plot to a movie or book though, where soldiers are taken advantage of.
There was definitely a Black Mirror about it.
Sidenote: It’s weird to me that more people don’t talk about the inevitability of that one with the soldiers with cybernetic HUD implants that, shocking twist later, can make civilians look like monsters to be purged.
On the other hand, why bother when the Boston Dynamics murderbots are probably cheaper?

Universal Soldier?
I think I read the book you mention! I thought about it recently but could not remember the name
I agree. But I also wouldn’t mind forgetting one or two things. However, I’ve also watched Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, so I know it ends with me having perpetual dementia-like fever dreams.
It reminds me of that old joke of the 2 scientists studying a fly.
Scientist 1: Fly, fly! Scientist 2: When fly has two wings fly flies 2 feet.
Scientist 1: pulls off one wing and says Fly, Fly! Scientist 2: When fly has 1 wing, fly flies 1 foot
Scientist 1: pulls off the other wing and says, Fly, fly!. Nothing happens Scientist 1 Fly, Fly! Nothing happens Scientist 1 showing frustration> FLY! FLY! Scientist 2: When fly has no wings, fly becomes deaf.
Bad-dum!
I like this. First time hearing it.
That’s good, 'cause the fly can’t.
Whew, hopefully he’ll forget he’s supposed to track me till the end of time
Sorry bucko, it was a decoy snail
Here is an alternative Piped link(s): https://piped.video/wIH5JioDrHM
Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
I’m open-source, check me out at GitHub.
That’s incredible, I was aware of the tileman mode plug in, but this is inspired.
Scientists: No guys seriously what have we done I can’t remember
Oh no, they fried the part of their brain that could tell the difference between snails and humans!
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Snail
Finally! A therapy to make me forget that movie!
But sunshine is bad for snails! Noooooooooo!
Finally I can replay Outer Wilds.
Yes. Good god yes. Was disappointed by the dlc though unfortunately. I want to like it but I just don’t.
But also replay Inscryption
It honestly was too scary for me. I don’t do horror games. The angler fish in the main game was almost too much for me
EXACTLY, I feel the same
I can play Omori without having been spoiled!
Such a great game. I’d also play through Undertale again with this
I think the scientists are more worried about why the snail’s head is the size of a human rather than the memory loss…
It’s the long hidden aliens that were driving the latest non-human aircraft
Maybe the snail meme was a CIA guerilla training operation.
Wait, the snails are training the gorillas? We’re through the looking glass here, people!
I want off this goddamn Jefferson airplane!
so aliens are actually just big snails, like the Voth from Star Trek
Interesting

Every time I walk into another room.
Well the scientists must be zapping me a lot in that case.

It’s probably at your request, to help you get rid of a horrible / painful memory (comedy skit).
Haha, this skit really feels like it’s 14 years old. First time seeing it, thanks!
Pfft this guy doesn’t know how to see the invisible whales 🙄
Chemtrails are real but the chemicals are usually amnestics

decoy snail
Oh no the real one escaped
Probably a racing snail.
Why is the snail so large?!
It doesn’t remember, sorry.
Exactly the reason they had to fund this project.
Cheaper than the lawsuit.
The scientists first enlarged the snail, but when the snail was too large to make love to his snail wife or hug his snail children without crushing them, he decided to sue. That is until he suddenly got amnesia somehow.
But that means he has a giant snail dick too! Shouldn’t his snail wife be happy?
It’s too big.
It’s not the size of the boat, it’s the motion in the ocean!
So they could use a normal sized eraser, duh.
Humans experimenting on weaker animals has peak fashist vibes.
“bUt iTs oNLy a SnAiL” yeah and before anything happens on humand they will experiment on mammals.
“Hey guys… Is it fascist to want to learn more about the reality we find ourselves in?”
There was a period during the Chinese Communist revolution that basically labeled a lot of modern science as capitalist propaganda.
There’s a book series that starts with that event, and is the inciting event that caused a group of scientists to basically invite a hostile race of aliens to earth to wipe out and rebuild society.
I forget the name, it’s by Cixin Liu
Edit: The Three Body Problem is the first book
If anyone stumbles across this, the entire series is amazing and worth your time
Call me Hitler but it’s only a snail. If this can erase my dad strangling me or watching someone shoot themself from my brain IDC how many invertebrates die for it.
Peak human.
I a sapienbrained humancel. You got me.
How many dogs and chimpanzees are you willing to murder for the human trial to fail in phase 2?
How many you got?
Dogs? We have a limitless supply, go nuts scientists. Chimps eh let’s say less than 30, the lower the amount of chimps that die the better but at the end of the day, traumatic experiences vastly reduce quality of life for people, so if chimps gotta die, they gotta die.

last step in trials is poor people.
Small
knowknew too much.I can give snails brain (ganglia?) damage too, you’re not that special, scientists.
My question is, how do they know what a snail is thinking or remembers? Last I knew snails didn’t talk.
Probably something like the snail learned to find food in a certain place, then they were able to make it forget such that it would search randomly instead of going to the place it had learned.
Lol, I can see it now.
“Im going to sit here for 8-12 hours and watch where this snail goes today.”
Sorry couldn’t resist.
Sounds like a good job.
Is this true?
Yeah, but it’s 5 years old.
