            So slowly cooking.

            Have you tried "turning the heat off" ?

              To debunk the frog story a bit, in the experiment where they sat in the slowly boiling water, they were decorticated first. So the only frog that stays in water that boils is one with brain damage 🙂

                  Which likely occurs from the boiling water.... which in another way means, as you see things beginning to boil, you begin to care less and less and just let it get worse.

                      I would think that you could see that things are getting worse, in one way or another. An email that rubs you the wrong way, a quip, extended hours etc etc.

                      Those things happen during normal times, though, they don't indicate a gradual slip towards a lower state.

                      Exactly.

                        So you are saying that humans are dumber than frogs in water?

                          So you are saying that humans are dumber than frogs in water without a brain.?

                            How can a frog live without a brain? That is something that isnt explained.

                            How is it not dead if it has no brain? I understand their brains arent as complex as a humans, but can they actually live without them?

                              @momurda I think they left the brainstem so that basic functions still worked and just scooped out the rest of the brain. Kind of like that headless chicken that lived for years:

                                  Didn't grow up on a farm I guess. The entire term "running around like a chicken with its head cut off" comes from the fact that chickens continue to live for quite some time without a head.

                                    The sick part is "When Mike did not die, Olsen instead decided to care for the bird. He fed it a mixture of milk and water via an eyedropper, and gave it small grains of corn."

                                    Olsen is a psycho

                                          Once you "keep going" when does it stop?

                                            @DustinB3403 I am confused about why he only took one whack? Surely his MIL wasnt happy she had to go without chicken that night for dinner.
