For anyone wondering:

Take a paper towel, grip both ends, gently place paper towel over the stinkbug and close both ends keeping the length taut (not putting any pressure or touching where the stinkbug is, just letting the U-shaped fold in the center where you are not touching enclose the stinkbug). Gently twist to seal exits while not squeezing the stinkbug.

You are now holding a paper towel with a non-activated stinkbug. Do what you will with that stinkbug.

Did… did you marry her?

It's sad that I read this and the first thought was not about how similar we can be but more, "well...I suppose if you were gentle..."

That would imply that bacteria have souls which means that I'm committing genocide each time I'm cleaning my toilet. I always assumed that you could only reincarnate into creatures complex enough to actually have sentience.

Edit: Also a fun fact is that if you count all human beings that have ever lived in the entire human history it would still not be close enough to the number of bacteria that live in or on a single human being (roughly 117 billion humans compared to around 20 to 30 trillion bacteria).

Well if what your reincarnated as dependent on how good of a person you are these odds make sense if you look at humanity as a hole

Two things:

First, mathematically, It's sort of a moot concern. Reincarnation comes with the framework that lives are the universe experiencing itself. So There's no "loss" in going between species as "you" will actually incarnate as everything and everyone once in non-linear time on the backend making "time" immaterial. I am you and you are me. We are all one existence. So you have time.

Second, that reincarnation frameworks usually also include a structure where it's not random what you reincarnate as next time around. Karma doesn't usually boot people back down to bacterium right after human. It's usually more of a leveling up in order to experience deeper and more meaningful lifetimes. But YMMV.

100x this.

I don't know about everyone, but I find that these types of conversations can be stimulating/interesting

What kind of theory? I'm not sure what that means to "think about theory."

This is an astoundingly perfect reference, bravo

They're two tyred from work to be offended by random tweets

This is a tragedy to me, one of the many reasons I married my wife is because she's the only person who has ever been excited to hear my info dumps.

"a bowl of tapioca pudding managed to hallucinate so vividly it invented calculus" I love that post

Does that make a stoner a baked potato?

I'll see myself out.

Dragons or how quickly I'd die in event of a revolutionary/civil war.

How do they get the rubber out of the volcano?

When I try that, music starts playing in my head. There's never any quiet there.
