For the record: extremely

oh interesting

PLEASE SHARE THIS IS ACTUALLY RELEVANT FOR ME

finn a sweaty boy we been know

same im lookin at vash like ohoho new rp info

BOY I BET

The most DISGUSTING thing about having one leg is no...This man just, tellin’ it like it is LMAO

Just, wearing something that necessitates a completely airtight seal for an extended period of time (just one of a hundred reasons people with prosthetic limbs don’t wear them long periods generally)

derkins: the suffering* of being a teenaged boy

*desire to show all your friends how sweaty your arm gets at the end of the day

"here, smell it"

LMAOOOO

Another interesting fun fact too is that biologically, our hands play a massive role in thermoregulation in the body, and losing even one makes it that much harder to regulate one’s one body temperature!

Warming up and cooling down

huh! i never thought about that

like it seems obvious on reflection but

RIGHT

Posture is pretty affected by arm loss as well, iirc– it's something we think would be impacted by the loss of a leg & how we stand, but

I recall reading about some nifty arm prosthetic advancements that helped keep the spine from the strain

now I wonder how that translates to fictional genetically enhanced characters since yzak is joining the club after this mission (""""""""mission")

BackAgain: that’s very interesting too! It’s such an on going branch of medicine, there’s always new stuf being discovered and studied

yeah!

I'm neatly devourin all the cool research you're sharin

"here smell it" and trying to touch people with his sweaty arm. the teenage boy of it all

KLSDFHKSDGH

that’s really, truly, exactly what he would do unfortunately

source: my teenage sister has unusually sweaty hands and will touch me with them at every opportunity

fdgsdfgsdfgdfg

LMAOOO

Ugh “here smell it” really is this teen’s vibe

Disgusting

I love him

my thinly related contribution to the subject at hand is the oldest known prosthetic is a toe from ancient Egypt

the real question is would jake smell it

I’m saying absolutely yes

He’s a dog

Dude duh.

He’d be like “smells cool, man”

Dogs love gross smells. Gross is just a synonym for interesting.

Also lbr, he definitely is smelling Finn constantly. Like, without trying. Across the ship.

He can smell all of you without trying

A constant smell map of the whole crew

You wanna know where someone is, just ask the dog and he’ll point

Also who they’ve been hanging out with

Also interesting, phantom pain stuff, which is a VERY fascinating physiological thing (proprioception in general is a very complex, extremely fascinating thing imo) and extremely common, especially for the first several years

Which is like, largely just your brain sending signals to a limb that isn’t there and getting no feedback and deciding that it’s paralyzed or in danger

Which could be excruciating pain, or just like, weird feelings, or like....itching but you can’t scratch it because its not there.

And i guess a easy and common line of “treatment” is just, tricking your brain with a mirror into thinking you have your missing limb which is very funny.

(ANOTHER fun fact is that this works in reverse....you can trick someone with two hands into thinking a fake hand is their own and can “feel” sensation; the famous rubber hand illusion)

Brains are crazy

this is so interesting thank you for sharing

GOD. YEAH. THAT STUFF IS BONKERS
