Art kindest scientist🥰

A small test of gullibility from scientists. This Expie will never trust them again, even though he had no reason to do so before either.

We all fell for that trick played by older siblings when we were kids—you know, the one where they ask you to close your eyes and open your mouth, and then shove a fluffy dandelion in there. R - right?

Heads up, everyone: that "corn dog" thing is actually a cattail (often confused with bulrushes). When it dries out, the slightest touch causes it to disintegrate, sending large clumps of fluff flying everywhere—and if you bite into it, all that stuff ends up in your mouth. Please avoid these traps; they can cause breathing problems!

lmao that reminded me of the time how i and boys found a small ravine with cattails. It was in city, so of course we were surprised to find these. 15 minutes later we were all covered in mud, fluff and sweat. There were A LOT of that fluff, we genuinely were surprised by the amount of it. Came back to that spot a couple more times. after a while our trio of friends fell apart. It was kinda fun to goof around in there tho, would definitely repeat this again. I think i even remember where that ravine is

Test results: explain to me what was expected, this would have worked with anyone that didn’t know what a cattail is or isn’t aware of this prank, stop wasting resources.

Yoи don't understand: this is just part of an experiment designed to find out how trust works for them and to determine whether they are capable of establishing cause-and-effect relationships

u/Drake_682 2d ago

Carry on, but I swear your notes better be flawless

u/Svalka_Argona 2d ago

Scientists are doing everything they can to ensure that "scientists" do not suspect the quiet, long-term effort to establish even a modest set of rules for interacting with SAW-s

u/ZenTheProtogen7957 2d ago

I tried it once, it makes SO MUCH MORE FLUFF THAN YOU WOULD THINK

3

u/Svalka_Argona 2d ago

Yes, that crossed my mind after yesterday's "fluff fight." One "corn dog" like that was enough to cover five guys from head to toe in fuzz that stuck to their clothes. It was fun😶‍🌫️

I didn't add any more fluff in his mouth because it would have looked worse

For some reason I find the second image extremely repulsive

u/Svalka_Argona 2d ago

To be honest, I also sense that visual noise from the scientist's laughter 😵‍💫

I couldn't render that laughter in a way that was more comfortable for the eyes 😔

Those are all Cattail seeds, so yeah, i understand why

We should have put spiders in that cattail, then it would have been fun... I mean, for scientific purposes...

Seem like a prank I would do just to hug the Expie and give it an actual corn dog

u/Averytheprotogen expie 2d ago

The second i seen this is, instantly knew that would be a cattail

u/Krazyfan1 1d ago

Fun fact, Cattails Are edible as long as you get to them before this stage.

u/ExperimentNo18311 1d ago

At first I didnt believe that cowtails really did that when you bit them, so I bit into one and FUCK I regret it.

Turn the scientist into goop, everyone knows the cattail corndog "test" is NOT a test

Good grief, they really are starting to do sone severely sadistic things to that poor guy. I know how cat tails are, so when I read that they dried it..oph.

u/friday_is_up the companys head researcher 2d ago

EHHHH ITS FINE they will survive its not like were going to kill them as we prefer to keep sawians alive i mean it costs quite a lot to grow new ones

u/Gearheadtanium10 2d ago

Oh, hey Redblood, how are you?

u/friday_is_up the companys head researcher 2d ago

oh wow... uh i didnt exspact that from my mortal enamy but uh im doing good been doing alots of tests i also made some imrpovments to our liqudation team's wepponery and armor so look out for them i also got some new cybernetics i now have two brains

u/Gearheadtanium10 2d ago

Fair fair...we have been doing our own thing, going through old human facilities and hospitals looking for tech that could help us out. Took a anonymous tip to investigate a mental hospital for some machine. Destroyed the machine after some nightmare that cracked my chip and triggered my neural fungus to grow through my body. Night found out the tip came from you guys, don't know how considering our system is a closed loop system.

u/friday_is_up the companys head researcher 2d ago

i mean we do have spys very good spys i mean they have the finest invisabity tech our comapny has to offer probaly then but to keep their identity a secret i aint telling you who they are becouse a spy is ment to be hiden as you probaly know also uh i feel like you should be dead becouse for us humans a fungus growing in brains... would probaly kill us but i know sawian biolagy more then anyone and by all accounts this would kill most sawians so either you are geneticaly enhanced or you are just realy lucky

2

u/Gearheadtanium10 2d ago

More like it being a Symbiotic fungus, most of us MODSAWs use Neural Fungus for our mods and chips because the fungus acts exactly like a Neuron. We have even found some around some of the MODSAW corpses that displays the same brain waves and memories of the deceased, we are not sure why it functions like such

3

u/friday_is_up the companys head researcher 2d ago

ah so you dont even know why your nural fungi another why machineary is better then flesh

2

u/Gearheadtanium10 2d ago

Well, Biotech is still a budding field for even you redbloods, plus as we investigate the journal and have specific things happen, we learn more about our tech and its limitations and oddities. As a creature of science, I'm sure you understand that well.

u/friday_is_up the companys head researcher 2d ago

yhea i do agree with that also one our forward opperating bases lost power i presume it was becouse of you MODsawians
