[@VioletDeathRei]

Brain surgery is often done without anesthesia just a topical anesthetic for the initial cut since they need the patient conscious to make sure they are still all there. Most nerves are by skin as someone who has had a number of surgeries well awake you feel pressure more then pain.

[@davisewbank8264]

you can bypass a segment of aorta to allow space to attach the 2nd heart without risk of blood loss. you can potentially go through the diaphragm without disrupting ribs or sternum. the stomach one (which sounds more like a liver) would be more difficult due to large important nerve plexi (vagus) along the esophagus brain surgery already mentioned... much of these additional organs don't make sense on how they improve things... theres only so much room and just dividing space with an additional (like lung) doesn't make it work better. the additional heart would have to be close to the original heart in order to effectively pump which makes its use as a back up pointless. potentially put it in the abdomen, but then you screw up the liver. kidney doesnt connect to bum-hole... (poor naming i guess, again more like liver) srry you got my critique as a physician i love the depth of detail from the 40K lore

[@1337penguinman]

Yeah, especially with how valuable gene seeds are and how risky the surgery would be even with proper anesthesia. I could see an argument for the black carapace install since it deals with nerves directly and all of the survivability of a full fledged space marine has already been completed.

Thoughts Re: Space Marines not having anesthesia when their organs are being implanted. It might not be anesthesia as we recognize it. When the Astartes were first designed, technology was at a crazy-advanced point, meaning they may not have relied on the anesthetics we use today. I could see, for example, a type of hallucinogen being used to change the aspirant's perception of events and the sensations they experience for the duration of the surgery. After all, it would make sense that the chapter inducting them might want them to experience the pain of surgery as religious rapture rather than agonizing pain. Don't know if there's lore to support it, but it's a possibility

i know im 3 years too late with this but still, maybe someone, somewhere, maybe even arch, will read it.... the scientific explenation of the spinal organ that makes you analize what you eat. There has been an experiment regarding DNA memory. The premise is that information are passed from parent to offspring so it KNOWS the basics without being tought. Like, what to eat and what to not eat. They took 2 control groups of mice, one was fed by normal feed, the other was fed with normal feed with added juniper berries. They ate this their entire life, then they were let to have offsprings within their control group. As soon as the offsprings were born and fed just a little milk, they were taken away and nortured by humans till they were ready for their first "normal" food. They marked offsprings from group 1 and 2, put them together, and released them into area with bowl of feed 1 and bowl feed 2 with juniper berries. Without any hesitation the mice seperated, offsprings of group 1 went to normal feed and 2 went to juniper berries. They never had a chance to learn it from their parrents and they were fed milk only right after being born. Some basic information for survival is indeed carried by DNA and varies parent from parent, region from region, some are universal. Its the reason why humans from birth are afraid of dark or spiders. If you show a little toddler a picture of spider, it will be scared. Even thou it never seen a spider. The genetic information is "this shape is dangerous". And this information is valid even in countries where there are no poisonous spiders AT ALL. Its just that old hard coded information. So astartes basicaly is able to send the DNA imprint of what he ate to the organ which will analize it like subconcious brain and sends it as concious information to his normal brain.

I mean I would assume that the basic structure and number of chromosomes is quite similar to that of a human considering the whole compatibility thing for the space marins but if he only planned to ever create male ones he might have scrapped some functions and looked them into a male phenotype although then again that might have been to much work for to little gain to remove it if he worked of, of a human template and it definitely would have been very handy if he ever planed for them to be able to procreate (for example in case that for some reason the empirium would be running low on primargs and he could not create any other due to being mortally wounded and bound to a chair) it's 2am I think I should go to sleep

It is one of the things that constantly annoy me, Space Marines have a sizeable number of organs meant to make sure they can't fall prey to poisons, but in the fluff they constantly fall prey to bad stuff like that... It's like 25% of the geneseed is meant to avoid the marine being poisoned, like the extra lung, that secondary stomach that catches all the bad stuff going in, the neuroglotis that scans for poisons (that's a double check system just to avoid the marines dying from poisoned food), and the poison gland that basically can be used as a form of "If you can't filter it, weaponize it". Then again reading something like "Once the Primarch was safely returned to the flagship his Oolitic Kidney was activated, purging his body of the foul poison and covering everybody in the infirmary with a green and yellow foul smelling acidic liquid..." doesn't have the same catch.

Arch, I snapped on a 1 hour version of Kevin Macleod's "Crusade" to give your videos an old-timey feel. It's a good feel.

[@nooneofimportance2110]

Pity the Punisher is so old then, everything a space marine has to go through to become a space marine is basically a Tuesday for him.

[@marcusreading3783]

Bit late, but I still have to say that the description of the Emperors Finest, the greatest warriors in the Galaxy, falling flat on their faces and shitting out a stream of stinking arse gravy made me laugh until I cried. Now my glasses are all steamed up. I wonder if its possible to weaponize something like that? Considering 40K, more than likely.

There is no way they don't use anethesia. The pain would put them into shock and possibly leading to a heart attack. I woke up just after my abdominal surgery was finished, but before pain meds were administered. It was one a 2 inch cut, sure all they way through my stomach muscles into the cavity. I cannot describe nor express the level of pain.

[@Wimpiethe3]

No images? What surgery is too gruesome a sight compared to the sheer carnage of war!? All good though, great vid man.

[@Fewrfreyut]

The shock from the non-anesthetic surgery would be fatal in frequency far, far beyond any cost effective measure. The body just couldn’t endure the surgery you’ve described here without anesthetics. The trauma is just too much.

This video clearly reinforces my point that the Cult Mechanicus is the only "good guy" faction.

[@jackfoley8430]

TheDarkGenious Yes, but at least our armies consist of of age lobotomized criminals. And honestly hiw could anyone possibly improve upon what the Machine God hath already perfected? Cheifly the great pleasure toasters of old Earth.

[@sebastiankrant2738]

You do know about the rape camps on mars. Granted, illegal, but still there. Also huge dicks to EVERYONE. When a writer wants an enemy from within he choses between cult mechanicus and inquisition. Admittly the Tech priests probably have some of the greatest "good guy"-pieces, probably with the guard. Of course this is depending on the writer, with some writers portraying the guard as Red army 2.0, while others (Mittchell, Abnett) portray them as a common-sense-faction thats actually pretty good. Just as some like to make the Mechanicus essentially a bunch of completly aloof assholes, that would love to turn entire hive worlds of innocents into servitors because efficiency and others make them actually good guys, if out of pragmatism: With the great amount of labour done by servitors the rest is usually well adjusted and well fed specialists along the statues and comfort of modern engineers, high-quality-artisans and so on. But you could continue that list on and on (Inquisition: The emperors pet psychopaths/reasonable and extremly efficient most of the time, the times when not just more prominent, Space Marines: Mariens Malevolent/Slaamenders and Lamenters...). But yes, the Mechanicus is definitly relatilvy high up, because it at least doesnt do something evil if its not necessary.

I think so too.

[@aecides3203]

With regards to the end: Whether I loved or HATED the Tau, I would be running to them like my life depended on it (which it probably would) if I found myself in the 40k universe. Someone who could give them details about the formation, motivations and history of the other factions would be incredibly valued by the Ethereals and even if they're going to be stomped from the face of the galaxy in the next thousand years that's enough time for me to live out my life in a private estate that contains actual technology (which is not made of "some poor bugger from a hive"). I mean, if we tried to tell the Imperium anything useful we'd likely end up in the kind of torture chamber less senior members of the Inquisition only know of as a horrifying legend that gives them nightmares sometimes. Of course, actually getting to the Tau from anywhere but "walking distance" is probably equally likely to kill you (especially if you need to use warp travel) and even if you appeared ten steps away from a waiting squad of battlesuit escorts, that's still enough time to be murdered by an Ork and then snatched away by the Dark Eldar to be revived for decades of unimaginable torture orgies (or possibly worse, used as a slave to clean those up).

[@Berthrond]

The child solider thing is new to me , is it part of the new 7th and 8th rewamp of 40k lore? The aspirants were usually in the 20'ies in the original lore , with barbaric trials of endurance and arena combats to get to be selected. Also shame on GW for making Magnus the red one eyed instead of a cyclops as he was before.

[@zenoblues7787]

Carl Hallberg first off the whole child soldier thing has been around since at least a couple of years probably 3rd or 2nd edition at the earliest and second have a single eye does make Magnus cyclops anyway

[@annelisemeier283]

Carl Hallberg it is very much new

[@Memento--Mori]

Carl Hallberg His model has three heads: A cool helmet, Two eyes, one scared/blind One eye, Cyclops style

[@Berthrond]

lol no having one eye makes you cyklopean not a cyclops. unless you think one eyed pirates are cyklops. Magnus used to have one big eye in the middle , it was also said that it was not considered strange due to Sanguinius having wings and Connrad Kurtz having claws.

[@TobiasKremer]

No this is actually old lore. As usually the sources are contradicting each other, but new neophytes being below 14 years of old is a pretty old idea. The waters are muddied here as most novel characters we have stories from before they where recruited (like say Ragna) tell us that they where warriors in their culture. But a barbaric tribe might consider someone an adult as soon as puberty hits.

[@howlingbeast3x6]

So... Space marines recruits are 10-12 years old? That does not fit with most of the lore I know. Things such as space wolves choosing war heroes. Lukas was known to visit up to a dozen women in a single night. Implying that he is at least an adolescent if not an adult Or blood angels: whoever manages to go through the proving grounds and reach the sarcophagi are put into them and reborn as beautiful vampires. There are a few more that I cannot remember right now, but either there is conflict in the lore or some things have been retconned over time

[@duncanmcokiner4242]

Actually, survival based instincts are ingrained into the genetic memory. Example, a person with ancestors in 1600's England would be more wary of rats than average since their genetics contain a conditioned response to associate rats with disease. If Space Marines bodies are able to analyse DNA, they could extrapolate the genetic memories to develop instincts to avoid certain other species.

[@duncanmcokiner4242]

Vivid memories, yes. Low level instincts however have been proven to be passed down genetically. It's how an animal which has never taken a course in botany knows which mushrooms to eat. I'm not talking about advanced shit here, just a basic list of things not to fuck with. "Experiments showed that a traumatic event could affect the DNA in sperm and alter the brains and behaviour of subsequent generations. A Nature Neuroscience study shows mice trained to avoid a smell passed their aversion on to their "grandchildren". Experts said the results were important for phobia and anxiety research. The animals were trained to fear a smell similar to cherry blossom. The team at the Emory University School of Medicine, in the US, then looked at what was happening inside the sperm. They showed a section of DNA responsible for sensitivity to the cherry blossom scent was made more active in the mice's sperm. Both the mice's offspring, and their offspring, were "extremely sensitive" to cherry blossom and would avoid the scent, despite never having experienced it in their lives. Changes in brain structure were also found. "The experiences of a parent, even before conceiving, markedly influence both structure and function in the nervous system of subsequent generations," the report concluded."

A comment regarding 20:20. Operation without anesthetic. Had to be done to me about two years ago on a hand because of my allergic reaction to pain killers. Emergency suture. Bits of bone taken out, the tendons and dead skin cut out. Skin cut off. And like a dozen stitches. I could see the yellow tendons and the white bone because the fat in the hand was cut off. I sliced an inch long and half an inch wide hole in my hand down to the bone and tendons with a live sword, it sliced off and bounced off of the bone sparing most of the tendons and took off most of the fatty tissue protecting the hand. Later on that hand got infected and like before, wound surgeon had to cut out the dead tissue and clean it and suture it while I wasn't on any kind of pain killers. It took supreme control and some really intense Shaolin breathing exercises to stay absolutely still both times so they could work. I still have a massive scar on my left hand from that injury. The pain was so intense at times I was whiting out and my heart was racing, but I managed to slow it down and keep calm through those meditation and breathing techniques. So not Bullshit. Just because you can't do it yourself or imagine it doesn't mean it can't be done.
