Sakura Posted August 12 Share Posted August 12 If I remember right @efaardvarkfigured out that aliens are indeed after Tupperware before, so if your Tupperware lids are missing, the only logical conclusion is aliens. There is no other explanation. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeref Posted August 12 Share Posted August 12 It all makes sense now okay, aliens break into our houses while we sleep and take the lids for plastic bowls and containers which is why we can never find them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make sure you stay up if you have a chimney because the aliens might come down it like Santa Claus with the intent to steal lids 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forlorn Posted August 13 Share Posted August 13 I guess we have a chimney of sorts, but it comes out of a wood fire stove, so they'd have to be really little aliens maybe a few inches tall. I wonder if life that small with complex thought processes would even be possible though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Animedragon Posted August 13 Share Posted August 13 I've got chimneys, but the fireplaces are all blocked off, well I suppose the one in the living room isn't actually blocked off but it's got a Parkray heater in it so if the aliens came down that chimney I'd see them looking out through the glass door. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeref Posted August 13 Share Posted August 13 Maybe aliens can adjust their body sizes at will to be able to sneak into homes. Or they can liquefy and slide in through vents though that's some pretty terrifying imagery. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zeref Posted August 14 Share Posted August 14 Did you know that in 1929 researchers at Princeton university made a telephone out of a living cat? The cat survived the first experiment but did not survive their second attempt. They connected the auditory nerve in the cat's brain to a working telephone and one researcher would speak into the cats ear, and the other researcher who was 50 feet away and in a sound proof room was able to hear their voice through the telephone receiver. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a horrifying bit of history to learn. Why in the holy Hell did they do that to that poor cat? Who wakes up one day and thinks that would be a good idea? That's so messed up I'm having trouble finding the words to describe just how messed up it is. Jesus, that poor thing must've been in agony. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sakura Posted August 15 Share Posted August 15 Oh God I looked it up and I wish I hadn't of While they don't have any pictures of it, the details of what they did and how they did it are super disturbing. I think we have laws against stuff like this now so it wouldn't happen today?? Well some labs probably don't follow laws anyways or report half of what they do I'm sure... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Animedragon Posted August 15 Share Posted August 15 I didn't look it up,and I'm glad I didn't. The whole idea just sounds so horrifyingly cruel. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeref Posted August 15 Share Posted August 15 I came across the fact on an email I get daily that talks about weird history. Some things researchers did in the past seem to not have a reason and just been cruel with animal testing. This is probably why they began to put laws in place for using animals in research. I'm glad you would not be able to do that today to a cat. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forlorn Posted August 16 Share Posted August 16 My heart breaks for the animals that were subjected to experiments like that. I have no remnant of an idea as to what kind of person even thinks about putting a living creature through experiments like that for any reason. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sakura Posted August 16 Share Posted August 16 They also used to experiment on people Though I guess they still do that too, just now you sign up for it to test out experimental drugs and they give you $50 bucks for your time 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't care how much money was in it, I didn't want anything to do with it because of the random, unexpected, and pretty much unknown side effects that happen to the people who take the drug in those trials. I may be reckless, but I'm not about to be stupid enough to do that. x.x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Animedragon Posted August 16 Share Posted August 16 I wouldn't sign up to take part in any new drug trials either no matter how much money they offered me. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeref Posted August 16 Share Posted August 16 On average, 177,798 people die each year in clinical trials in the United States. However, deaths in clinical trials are considered rare. For example, in a 2019 study of 32 breast cancer drug trials in Germany, only 0.4% of the 23,387 patients who participated died during or within 30 days of the study. Of those deaths, only 27% were determined to be related to the treatments. Maybe it is just me but 177k people does not seem like a small number? Though it says many of these were unrelated to the drug but died during the trial such as they already had cancer they were dying from and passed away while on the trial drug. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forlorn Posted August 17 Share Posted August 17 Holy crap, I didn't know people could actually die from drug trials. o.o I'm even happier that I didn't do it now. ^^; ^^; I also know that I'd think every little change that happened to me, no matter how common or small, I'd think would be a small sign of something worse to come from the drug even though I wouldn't know if I was taking the placebo or not. It's exhausting being so damn paranoid all the time. x.x 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sakura Posted August 17 Share Posted August 17 I don't think I would want to try any clinical drug testing stuffs either but I do think a vast majority of people they try them on are people that already for sure gonna die and this drug that hasn't been tested is like a last-ditch effort to see if it will work. I guess if I was gonna die anyways and this untested drug might be the one thing that would save me I would give it a go because it's not like I would have anything to lose at that point 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeref Posted August 17 Share Posted August 17 Did you know fruit flies were the first living creatures to be sent into space? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forlorn Posted August 17 Share Posted August 17 What were they trying to do by sending those into space? I can't even come up with a theory about why they'd send any insects into space. o.0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Animedragon Posted August 17 Share Posted August 17 WE can always rely on @Zeref to supply interesting pieces of trivia. I was curious about the fruit flies in space and looked them up. Apparently fruit flies resemble humans at the genetic, cellular and biological level so they probably make good subjects to see how living in space affects humans. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sakura Posted August 17 Share Posted August 17 That's interesting. Honestly I never would have thought we have anything in common with a fruit fly lol I was lowkey imagining lil fruit flies with tiny astronaut helmets on XD I wonder how they felt about being in space or if they even realized like, hey, dood, I don't think we are in Kansas anymore x.x 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
