gee jade, why does your mom let you have FOUR dancing and smiling fruit?

[rhapsodeity]

Jade Wolf shared a video. 3/6 near Apprasage

um so! >___>;;;;;
as you can see in this video, i have some dancing and smiling fruit
i checked the orange, if you look on the left side, it is peeled a little bit......
it smells like an orange and ummmmmm
it tastes the same as one too........
the apple, lemon and lime also check out
i received these in a package today, it was addressed to me, and it was from retrospec
i am hoping someone else either has seen this before or received a similar package so if you did please contact me as soon as possible
if you have seen a mutation (i suppose!!!!) like this before please let me know
admittedly, i am sort of curious to see if this can be replicated.........
it is so incredibly strange!

yes as i was removing the skin it was still bouncing and smiling
it............did not feel very good to do that :(

[constellates]

maybe do not do that again
:(

[rhapsodeity]

i think at some point im going to have to

[constellates]

but why

[???? JADE]

[rhapsodeity]

the only way to figure this out is really inspect the fruit, anya
if they sent them to me there must be a reason why!
i want to find out

[constellates]

why does science make you do these things
please be kind if you can
it is sad when they are smiling and so happy

[rhapsodeity]

i will handle them extra carefully
but i am pretty positive they are not sentient
you dont have to worry

[constellates]

[anya has to google what "sentient" means now

so it takes her another second to respond but]

if they cannot feel
why are they smiling and moving?

[rhapsodeity]

[ ANYA NO DONT FLIP THIS SWITCH ]

that is a very interesting question with a very interesting answer :D
do you know what the rorschach inkblot test is, anya?

[constellates]

[it's happening holy shit]

i had to search it again since i did not remember what it was called
but i remember what it is now
why?

[rhapsodeity]

so in essence the rorschach inkblot test is used to gauge the mental state and general personality of patients
you are presented with a bunch of inkblot images and asked what you see in them because there is a phenomena called pareidolia
pareidolia is triggered by a specific part of your brain called right fusiform face area which processes what is referred to as true faces
this area of the brain however also activates when the brain is presented with an image of white noise
what this means is that if you look at a piece of toast you might see a face in it
whether or not its actually there you can debate but for the sake of the argument lets say that you are seeing a face in your morning toast!
would you say that your morning toast is alive and sentient, anya?

[constellates]

[oh my god

jade, that's.... that's a lot to take for anya's language barrier. she ends up pulling up google translate in a separate tab to try to understand all of this?]

um.

no i do not think so?

[rhapsodeity]

[ i warned you anya ]

its the same for the fruit
our brains are seeking out the pattern for the faces but that doesnt mean theyre alive

[constellates]

but toast does not dance?

[rhapsodeity]

i am not sure its dancing is the thing!
perhaps its a chemical reaction inside the fruit itself

[constellates]

if this is a science experiment that the app sent to you
that would be very odd
but still not the most odd?

[rhapsodeity]

well maybe this is their way of encouraging me to go into botany :p
which is probably a more hopeful prospect than just trying to creep me out

[constellates]

jade would be good at botany too
you could work with dave

[rhapsodeity]

hehehe thanks anya
although i have never really tried botany before so i am not sure how true that is!
i think that i am going to grow these fruit though

[constellates]

grow them with love !
and maybe the trees will dance also

[rhapsodeity]

lmao
thats definitely a plan if i ever heard one
do you want to name them together if they do dance?

[constellates]

yes !
the trees reach for the sky
so we can name them for stars ?

[rhapsodeity]

that sounds really fun!!!!!!!!
corvus would be a pretty name :)

[constellates]

i always like cassiopeia

[rhapsodeity]

cassie for short!!!!!!!!!!! :D
