Prevention: Avoiding practices of cannibalism
Wow ok. Not very inclusive then smh
Millennials have killed the cannibalism industry 🤬
Cancel culture comes for cannibalism!
Cannibalizing cannibalism? No one wants to work anymore!
I'm begging everyone to try a healthy alternative to brain eating like vaping - you still get a the same effects (maybe even stronger!) with much less prion disease!
(In theory please no one take this as actual medical advice I'm just a wee little stoner)
Corpses of family members were often buried for days, then exhumed once the corpses were colonized by insect larvae, at which point the corpse would be dismembered and served with the larvae as a side dish
Nope nope nope nope nope nope
Prion disease is a terrible way to die, stay away from brains folks
Baby brains are much less likely to have any prions.
Yea it would’ve cost nothing for you to not write that
Yeah but then I wouldn't have known I was safe.
Which one?That's like saying virus is a bad way to die
All of them. Every prion disease affects the same protein in the brain. They’re all 100% fatal degenerative encephalitis diseases and they just plain suck.
a 196 classic:
Why does it have a ballsack mouth?
smh not real lowercase omega fan
Lowercase omega male
UωU
All I'm hearing is ballsack mouth
:3
I get that eating human brains can give you a deadly disease, but what I wanna know is why didn't the brain owner die from that same disease?
It's because an essential protein got misfolded while the body decays, these misfolded proteins can misfold other protein and suddenly your brain is full of useless molecules instead of what it needs.
Some prion diseases, including essentially all those known to affect humans, take decades to cause symptoms. If they hadn't died of something else, they would have eventually died of the disease.
Cannibalism isn't, speaking societally, dangerous because it gives you the disease. If you get it and die, whatever, that doesn't endanger anyone else. The problem is that cannibalism is usually a group affair, and that means one person with a prion disease can pass it on to many people at once, who won't show symptoms for essentially half a lifetime, and they might also be eaten when they die, spreading it to more people, etcetera.
Everyone here saying "cannibalism bad", yet no one is answering the question smh my head
Would eating human brain make your own brain go weeeeeeeeeee?
Short answer: No.
Longer answer: Prions make your brain melt.
hunter s thompson is known for making shit up for an interestin story and now a bunch of shit heads think adrenochrome is extracted from the spine and you can get high off it
Gonna comment the same thing here I did there, OK so eating acid denatures the hormones - what about smoking/vaping/nebulizing??
Little brain aromatherapy in the office
idk anything but I'd imagine most hormones don't aerosolize very well and burning them would probably change them as well. you could probably get results by vaping them? brains do have a lot of moisture to be evaporated but like. most of it isn't hormones
Just did some quick research and it looks like most hormones aren't too polar, but hey worst case scenario I'll just ask everyone to carry around their personal brain nebulizer and take breaths as needed
Prion disease is a terrible way to die, stay away from brains folks
that's not how it works
zombie outbreak, but the zombies aren't undead, just a bunch of drug-addicted cannibals
I only eat premium kuru brains. Their spongy texture absorbs sauces so well.
