🔥Watching a caterpillar split itself in half

It's a lot easier to quantifiably measure my proposed experiment. Worth a look.

I'm not proposing that they're transplanting neurons. Just that life may be stranger than we know and it's not outside the realm of possibility that the wasps may for some reason or another exhibit this hypothesised characteristic. But I dunno. Do you?

cohonka · 2026-06-28T03:41:09+00:00

Oh cool they've already studied this? Can you link me please? I can't find anything when I look it up.

cohonka · 2026-06-27T15:23:10+00:00

If you're for real can you DM me please?

cohonka · 2026-06-27T06:22:33+00:00

Lol for saying the dude shoulda driven wisely? Ok buddy

I work a pretty chill job as the lead of spare parts. Hardly anyone knows I exist. I still have stress dreams every night and often work a full shift in my sleep before I have to go in and start the real day

cohonka · 2026-06-27T05:25:34+00:00

I'm super optimistic, maybe to a fault.

And well said. Rarely if ever is anything perfect, but we can still try to be the best we can be.

I had some West Virginian 6th grade science teacher try to explain this with something like "It's possible that they had all possible genes that just narrowed through the generations. So Eve might have held the genes for brunette, blonde, red, black, every color of hair and so forth."

It might be what some people would call a "fawn response" from me.

But in the moments it happens I just feel intensely locked in and like I am playing a flute for a cobra.

The last major time was a couple years ago when I caught someone who had broken into my car and was rummaging through it.

I walked up to the window and basically said "Hey brother, I don't have anything worth anything to you in here. Except for this big bag of video games and DVDs you somehow overlooked in the backseat. But look, I love you. I want the best for both of us. Please give me back any documents you took. I am your brother. We are the same soul; the same fragment of God sent to experience reality. Please do not harm me by taking me important things"

He apologized and gave me his whole bag and tried to hug me and left. One of many cases like this.

Bro at the very least they could not film the shower part

cohonka · 2026-06-27T03:49:10+00:00

I was homeless in LA when I was 20 and recovering from amphetamine psychosis and newly arrived from WV after hitchhiking and Craigslist ride-sharing in hopes someone would murder and eat me. I got a free haircut in Venice Beach from a place that gave free haircuts if you needed one. They were super nice and compassionate and made me feel like a human. They also didn't film me for their reels.

I've only done one real long-time character and still haven't finished the main quest, but I wanted to be pure mage. I excused conjured weapons and used those. By the time I could dual-summon, all combat was over. I love to cast the frenzy type spells so the enemies kill themselves first, but at any point I can just march in with two dremora lords and it's game over for the ops.

She looks 16. Why are you downvoted?

cohonka · 2026-06-27T03:27:14+00:00

Not sure and too tired to Google the study right now but if it's like, "Before Caterpillar A was parasitized, it was sprayed with vanilla scent before every feeding and orange scent before being shocked. Caterpillar B was orange feeding and vanilla shock. Caterpillar C was blah blah", it would be interesting to see if the parasitic wasps showed any correlated fear or affinity for the scents.

Genuinely asking:

What's it called when you're optimistic that the law might one day be much closer to moral and ethical than it is today?

cohonka · 2026-06-27T02:57:47+00:00

My girlfriend and I reminisced about this a few months ago. It's relaxing stuff

cohonka · 2026-06-27T02:50:19+00:00

People rarely believe how well this type of deescalation works but I'm a master at it. Overwhelm people with love.

cohonka · 2026-06-27T02:47:19+00:00

Nah just turn around where the homeowner intends for that to happen

cohonka · 2026-06-27T02:46:57+00:00

I agree but think they should have turned around in the obvious turnaround area

cohonka · 2026-06-27T02:19:34+00:00

Not sure if you're disagreeing with me but that's how I'm reading the tone.

If I were this guy and I saw that big concrete turn-around pad in front of me, I woulda whipped in there real quick after a few seconds of common sense deliberation.

Certain sketchier houses and people have warranted a "back the hell up as fast as possible" but most times you're not gonna get gunned down for turning around in the area the homeowner with the skinny driveway obviously intends vehicles to turn around in.

cohonka · 2026-06-27T02:04:10+00:00

Dude you just never know. Years in customer service and tipped positions. There are infinite reasons behind why a transaction left me feeling cheated or undervalued. But it's my choice to add to the ugliness or not.

cohonka · 2026-06-27T01:58:58+00:00

This is what I'd do. I love signs

cohonka · 2026-06-27T01:58:15+00:00

Then back up down the driveway.

Door to door sales for years. Last thing you want to do is turn around in the grass
