cockroach backpack app!

"..An electrode connector and electrodes are then glued on to the insect's body and a needle is used to poke a hole in their thorax in order to insert a wire.

Their antennae are then cut and electrodes are inserted. A circuit is attached to their backs, and signals are received through a mobile phone app allowing users to control the cockroaches' movements to the left and to the right."

Ye I know, who the fuck uses inches?

Morons.

by the way this backpack is 100 dollars

why

100 dollars to make a roach go right/left

why

are kids this bored?

for the type of kids who like to pull the legs of spiders

what's going to stop them from doing surgeries on dogs

They won't be able to afford the kit.

lol (sad one though :( )

i don't like cockroaches but i don't think it's right to be turning them into cyborgs. i hope people don't start making cyborg dogs and cats :(

It's a bit terrible, but also p good. Some of you were all Nancy Grace about Bronies and Furries being pedos (lol), but augmentation is maybe the greatest perversion we have. It's a kind of domination where the flesh itself submits (lush).

cyborgs don't sexualize children

cyborgs have the right to children?

i guess many experiments we do "for science!" are based on some level of animal cruelty. that said, I winced when he snipped off his antennae

didn't seem like it worked all that well?

i they are really 'trying to get kids into neural science' then its a very unhealthy way of introducing the concept of animal welfare

you know how you get kids into neuroscience? thought experiments. it gets them curious--they look for answers and see that there are many possibilities, so they are inspired to read more and more, maybe even get into research as a career.

you don't get kids into neuroscience by mutilating cockroaches. fucking lol @ socially retarded people in academia

Edit

Never mind . I wasn't signed in and thought the video got taken down.

disturbing

but then again, I'm only a historian. Little experience do I have of societies in which the overall societal disregard for mutilation was overcome by scientific progression in the name of consumerism.

lol well I know you all feel p good being outraged and I'm very happy for that.

outraged would not be the appropriate word. I'd prefer more something like "apprehensive acquiescence" or something like that.It's hard to be outraged by a standard established long before my birth.

I step on roaches on sight but this still feels kinda wrong. And impressive.

I think insect diplomacy should be carried out with sticks, shoes, and general laissez-faire, not with mind-mangling techno-sorcery.

this doesn't strike me as either interesting or innovative. nothing new, really.

they went about this totally the wrong way, they should have created miniature robot roach-riding cowboys instead.

I actually find this impressive and looks how the world might be in a future...

parents aren't going to want an RC-cockroach in their homes, most kids aren't going to want to ice or stab them, and this can be of only seriously limited educational value, lol
