Did they not resent this?

Thank you, Dr. Maturin.

So, how do we know that we’re not just a Nudibranch brain in a beaker being electronically stimulated to think we’re humans in a normal existence?

Quite simply, there is no spoon.

Quite simply, there is no spoon.

Thank you, I am greatly relieved.

Actually, they were beyond lobotomized, their “brains” were actually removed. A surgical blade was used to decapitate the animal and the body discarded. Under a dissecting microscope the head was pinned to agar in a dish. The prep was then soaked in a protease solution. Following a rinse with seawater, only the brain and photoreceptors remained.

Jesus, can you imagine some horror movie where aliens did that to humans?

Never heard of these critters before. Now I kinda wish I hadn’t.
