Just to recap, sperm, pee, microplastics, and memories are stored in the balls? Am I missing anything? I can’t remember. Maybe my balls are too full of microplastics to recall.
I'm sure you could fit a few dollars in loose change in there to.
You forgot about the wolves.
i forgot i put those there to control the deer population
I keep cement in mine
Mine are filled with brass
The Soul is also stored in the balls.
Do you think that’s why we often tell god that we’re cumming?
And when you fuck someone, you're giving them your memories.
Vaginas remember the bad balls.
And if they swallow a load….
in a laboratory setting.
Technically, a handgun also kills cancer in vivo. The problem is the cost to the host body.
Okay but what you're saying is if I hired a good enough marksman to shoot the cancer out of my body without killing me then that's a good thing right?
Exactly! The only difference is that those use very tiny bullets.
Its not the same memory as your brain. your life story is not in your non nerve cells. they have memory the same as yeast has memory but everyone is aware of how we have muscle memory in reptitive tasks.
I think muscle memory is just a phrase, but the training that makes and embed the "muscle memory" is essentially nural
There are many stories on how the receiver of a transplant has felt themselves being "changed", sometimes in ways that would remind people of the donor.
MDPI is like the lowest quality slop journal. Like anything gets peer reviewed in that thing.
Do we need to format our kidneys before becoming a donor now?
Maybe. There are numerous reports of people having changes in personality after organ transplants.

Damn, that’s interesting!
Is there an element of literality to the term "muscle memory"?
Yes, insofar as many reflexive actions, enervation and fiber recruitment thresholds respond to training, such that they “remember“ actions you have performed many times before. There are many clusters of nerves throughout the body called ganglia that are responsible for low-latency control of various functions that would entail too much delay when controlled entirely by the brain.
Generally, the minimum input-process-activation turnaround time of the brain is about 4 hz (240-250 ms) which is too slow for many applications of motor function. But the “co-processing” allowed by the extended nervous system enables the body to, with practice, execute far more rapid and complex action sequences in response to local stimuli. Some actions can be triggered and completed before a signal even makes it to the brain.

Thank you. For some reason it makes me happy to know that.
Read something like that in an old science fiction novel.
Old man's brain is placed in a young woman's body. Her brain was destroyed but most of her memories live on in her body.
Reminds me of the guy that got a heart transplant and took up smoking like the original owner of the heart and started dating the original owners ex.
Robert Heinlein, I Will Fear No Evil
"Elderly billionaire Johann Sebastian Bach Smith is being kept alive through medical support and decides to have his brain transplanted into a new body. He advertises an offer of a million dollars for the donation of a body from a brain-dead patient. Smith omits to place any restriction on the sex of the donor, so when his beautiful young female secretary, Eunice Branca, is killed, her body is used—without his knowledge and to the distress of some of those around him."
I'd read that novel.
Old man hell bent on world domination, but really wants Johnny in math class to ask him to the dance on Friday.
One of Iain M. Banks' Culture novels has an exceptionally old character who is so exceptionally old that he's had to turn most of his body into memory storage (sounds weird if you think in terms of computers) to keep remembering things. He stores his sexy memories in his balls.
Don't remember that char, can you refresh my memory (I am fully aware of the irony given the topic under discussion)
It seem like they're just saying kidneys remember kidney stuff, pancreases just remember pancreas stuff, etc etc.
It's not like your kidney remembers Aunt Jean has a mole on her nose.
Yeah, but if you get someone else's kidney, it "remembers" how that body worked.
There is another body of research that deals with a person's behavior can be heavily influence by endocrine actions. Organs can affect current endocrine responses. So there is a suggestion here that your kidney may not remember the Aunt Jean has a mole, it may remember why it releases certain hormones which can effect how you behave.
So hold on a minute - does this mean there might be some truth to the whole “eat your fallen enemy to gain experience” thing? That’s wild.
naw. its more like the nerve pathways through the body also have their own node-weighting long before they get to the brain. those are used in process sometimes allowing for memory-like function
its still a generated system that you cant just eat
Are you sure I can't eat it? We should test this... for science.

The question then being: would it still be considered science if it's not eaten raw but cooked and, say, accompanied with some wine?
Such as a nice chianti?
Closer to that whole organ transplant affecting someone's personality I guess
Eating a dictionary to improve your vocabulary would be equally effective to that theory, and for many of the same reasons. (As far as information transfer is concerned)
No, because you're eating the flesh, so you're digesting it.
This is more relevant to organ transplants.
Apparently, it's a known phenomenon that some organ transplant recipients seem to inherit some traits and even memories of organ donors.
I was wondering if there is a link between cellular memory and how trauma is encoded into DNA?
I suppose that explains survival instinct
I wonder if that contributes to "muscle memory".
No, "muscle memory" is the nickname for practiced motions.
As if haven't know for a century that immune system has the ability to both form memories and problem solve, that rivals the brain. The body being able to adapt to external stimuli isn't anything groundbreaking.
