No more beer, wine, bread, or yogurt for you. No mushrooms, no meat, and no vegetables.
This argument is called reductio ad absurdum. It’s often used by people like you who want to prevent others from trying to be better.
What on earth do you mean? That's a basic form of argument, where you demonstrate that the logic of a proposition leads somewhere ridiculous, or leads to a contradiction.
It reminds me of somebody I knew who thought that metaphors are dishonest and should never be used.

It's much easier to plug into something perfected by millions of years of selective pressure.
It really depends on a person's moral qualms and how deeply they are felt. For instance, different people put different amounts of effort in when a rogue house fly enters a room. Some kill, some catch and release. Which is easier? It really depends on the person and what they are willing to tolerate.
Most flies I kill, butterflies and wasps I usually guide out. But catching a insect and injecting electronic into it to force it to move where it does not want is kind of a very different thing to me.

#34The authors of the article deserve to get appropriate controllers inserted right up into their assholes, so they enjoy the operational range it gives to their fucking selves.

Exactly.
THE COCKROACHES CAN ALREADY SURVIVE NUCLEAR WAR.
WHY DO THEY INSIST ON MAKING THEM _STRONGER_?!

#37It is fun to imagine paleontologists, some millions of years from now, whatever species they will be themselves, finding a fossil of this cockroach and trying to explain it. One thing are humans having hip joint implants, but "why on Earth would they make a diving suite for a cockroach?!"
They’d clearly decide that the cockroach was worshipped.
I dunno, probably had religious significance.

If you knew Russian you could enjoy the hysterics their propaganda were stoking in 2022-23 about alleged "combat mosquitos" the Ukrainians had developed. According to the propaganda the mosquitos were specifically able to target Russians based on DNA (interesting that according to the same propaganda Russians and Ukrainians are the same people - how poor mosquitos were supposed to distinguish between Russians and Ukr…
I can't believe Russia even took that to the UN. Insane. https://global.espreso.tv/mosquitoes-vs-moscowitoes-reznikov...
This is a studied and documented propaganda tactic: flood the information space with conflicting accounts, in order to muddy the issue.
This statement summarizes it nicely:
"The purpose of propaganda is not to make you believe something. It is to make you believe nothing.
Then you will do nothing."

Millions of years from now EVERYTHING will be some form of cyborg. So these cockroaches might be THE missing link of when computer and living species first started to merge.

#40Oh god, you can imagine how governments are going to look at this and freak out about espionage. Or worse, use this tech for espionage!!
It makes for a good psychologic weapon, like the exploding mice from the 2nd World War...
Except that this time you can check if it's working and optimize it better by listening to people's phones and seeing how they react.
