ā€œIt’s important to note that special care must be taken to ensure that the vapor generation and delivery system has absolutely no leaks, because otherwise… What were we talking about again? In conclusion, lobster is very tasty, especially served with butter.ā€

seems like it would be faster to just make cannabutter, melt it, and dip mr lobster in…

I love science

Don’t get me wrong, I love science too. But also, ā€œonly minimal anti-nociceptive effect of THC exposure was confirmed.ā€

aka

ā€œit turns out getting lobsters high doesnt really make them that much more chill about being boiled aliveā€¦ā€

So like, good on them for trying but like, whats the goal here even anyway? To ease our guilt about the whole having to kill something to eat it thing? Is it really that much better if the thing was high and didnt really know it was dying? IDK this has some pretty deep ethical holes to fall into if we’re not careful. We should also all definitely be high while we discuss this…

Yeah especially because countries like Switzerland and New Zealand have banned the practice.

Why? Aren’t they basically sea bugs?

MutilationWave@lemmy.dbzer0.com on 16 Sep 20:25 next collapse

Yes, they are, but why not minimize any possible pain? They’re not going to taste any different.

The way to go is oysters. They have no pain receptors or even a cluster of nerves that could be considered a rudimentary brain. You can eat them still alive (raw on the half shell) and they’re none the wiser.

HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world on 16 Sep 23:34 collapse

oh that’s 100% a ā€œi’m ā€˜vegan’ but i miss oysters and need an excuseā€ article

MutilationWave@lemmy.dbzer0.com on 17 Sep 01:17 collapse

To be honest I picked the first result. I read something along similar lines, a bit more sciencey, from a non-vegan years ago. I understand two of the lines drawn by vegans are pain and consent. But oysters cannot feel pain or consent any more than a potato.

HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world on 17 Sep 01:21 collapse

i dunno, i remember reading some research (that i have no way of finding now) that plants scream when we cut them

MutilationWave@lemmy.dbzer0.com on 17 Sep 04:09 collapse

Some do. Some emit smells that tell other plants to turn bitter. Some communicate and even pass nutrients through the mycelial network. So let’s all agree on mushrooms maybe?

HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world on 17 Sep 16:03 collapse

i find it hard to eat something with more sexes (or is it genders? i haven’t finished that paper) than sense. not like emotionally, physically. they pass straight on through. i should just drop them right in the toilet and skip the middleman.

Whether or not they feel pain is a huge ongoing debate

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pain_in_crustaceans

normalexit@lemmy.world on 16 Sep 19:19 next collapse

I have experimented on myself quite a bit with THC. It isn’t a pain reliever in my experience. I have had a headache or body pain, used some, and then I was just like ā€œfuck, that’s all I can think about now.ā€

It’s great to distract from general malaise or boredom, but won’t help if anything painful is actually happening.

ArsonButCute@lemmy.dbzer0.com on 16 Sep 19:30 collapse

Conversely, I’m a medical user exclusively for pain. I take 50mg twice a day and have very little effect on the mind but it stops my pain nearly completely.

normalexit@lemmy.world on 16 Sep 20:48 collapse

that’s awesome! I’m glad it is helping you ease your pain. It helps a lot with my anxiety and sleeping, but I’m a weirdo and I’m in my head a lot, so even if I’m super deep it doesn’t shut off that part of my brain.

I do imagine if I was being boiled alive it would still hurt a lot, but I’d prefer to be on some strong edibles if that ā€œhadā€ to happen.

HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world on 16 Sep 23:32 collapse

why are we boiling them alive anyways? a knife through the brain first is standard now

HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world on 16 Sep 23:35 collapse

build a hotbox container, buy a volcano for 500ish USD, hook it up to the hotbox, call volcano and ask how to reprogram it for a 50 gallon container instead of a 1 gallon container

i’m sure there’s cheaper ways, but i’m most familiar with the volcano

Alpacalypse@crazypeople.online on 17 Sep 00:26 collapse

Instructions unclear, is a house a hotbox container? How many gallons is a house? I’m smoking weed about it.

I know it’s a meme, but thc is toxic to many animals including lobster as their liver can’t process the chemical. They will get the high but because they can’t absorb thc these animals will become suffocated.

Sunsofold@lemmings.world on 16 Sep 21:34 next collapse

So you’re saying they’d get so high they die, and the THC will still be in their systems when the human cooks and eats them. Might have an idea why they were doing this ā€˜experiment’ then.

VladimirLimeMint@lemmygrad.ml on 16 Sep 22:11 collapse

Our most underrated evolutionary advantage is the liver ability to process ungodly amounts of compounds that normally would be toxins for other animals, sometimes multiple substances at once.

Can confirm, have done multiple drugs at once multiple times and only died once.
