Necrobotics

Practice of using biotic materials as robotic components
- Obtain a spider
- Euthanize the spider using a cold temperature of around -4°C for 5-7 days
- Insert a 25 gauge hypodermic needle into the spider's cephalothorax (main body)
- Apply glue around the needle to form a seal and allow it to dry
- Connect a syringe or pump to the needle
- Extend the spider's legs by pumping air in
*Summarized synopsis of an Arachnid horror film, ca. 2026
Arachnid Centipede
Is a needle still hypodermic if it's going through crunchy exoskeleton instead of skin
I would suppose so, insects still have an epidermis, though it's covered by layers of chitin.
NGL, I read that as Necro-Biotics.
Then i considered antibiotics, which is more or less borrowed greek for anti-life which is kinda strange. so necro-biotics would be dead-life...which still scans in this case
There was a time when I didn't believe in evil
So basically Pickle Rick.
Funniest shit I've ever seen
Proponents respond that repurposing dead animals has been human practice for millennia
Fair enough, I suppose.
Well shit
Spiders, needles and death. One ripe tomato for the marketers.
