Imagine being conscious just to find out your purpose is to do a playthrough of doom

"We're naming it: The Torment Nexus, after the hit book, Don't Build The Torment Nexus."

THE DAY HAS COME BROTHERS! 🗣️🔥🔥

[@orsonzedd]

I'm glad someone's finally getting around to building the torment Nexus

[@aerofight5994]

Strange man in a sweaty lab coat staring at a rat in the corner of the room. Thinking to himself ... "Can it run DOOM?"

[@hakajiru264]

Painstakingly growing a brain slice only to pepperspray it moments later -.-

[@nuclearocean]

Can't wait till I have to feed my computer and overclock it with some spicy red pepper

[@gevelegian]

If youtube was just this type of content but with every expertise/experiment currently going on. It would be just perfect harmony.

Do not let bro start his villain arc 💀

"What if we grew a mind in a vat that only knew how to interact with the world through violence and was trained to snap headshot imps in .03 seconds, this will surely not go terribly wrong."

[@nl4006]

The reason the neurons all died after the initial seeding is because you didn't rinse the PEI off properly and/or didn't dry it properly. While PEI is the best pre-coating agent in the business, it is also an extremely potent membrane perforant when in solution, so any miniscule picogram of the stuff you left unpolymerized is gonna be jumping from cell to cell, shredding their membranes. Rinse at least five times with maximal volume your growth vessel can take, and dry the vessel overnight in the LAF bench, otherwise you're just wasting expensive reagents.

Finally! Man-made horrors WITHIN my comprehension!

"Don't build the torment nexus"

[@isodoublet]

Don't you just hate it when you're chilling in the torment nexus when all of a sudden your entire being is overcome with an extremely powerful chemical irritant?
