    I think a living human who smelled like a rotting corpse would be forced to go away from other people too.

      In a lot of places in the US, a living human who smelled like a rotting corpse is going to catch 2 to the head.

    Could you imagine the confusion if you are used to it though… you’ve considered this scent to mean dead your whole life. would be kind of like as a human noticing your heart isn’t beating, your skin is pale… realizing you are in a coffin and everyone’s performing a service… hmm… guess I am dead. course I guess that’s kind of the difference is humans aren’t so accepting of things. we could be unable to move, realize we are looking from the perspective of our head, which is on the ground 2’ away from the rest of our body and our first thought would be, "Hey can you hear me? Hello!!.

      Depends on the human. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cotard's_syndrome

      Side note: I am furious that I wasn’t able to find the name of this syndrome without ChatGPT. Is this a skill issue or are traditional search engines (in this case DuckDuckGo) just completely useless now?

        duckduckgo has become pretty worthless for search, ecosia is slightly better i think but without the privacy benefits. i have a local llm running in koboldcpp that i use if i really need to just bounce words off something while it nods along

        Traditional search engines are fucking garbage lately. You search for two words and it gives you generic results for whichever’s more popular. Or it decides a brief phrase, however generic, must mean exactly one thing, so you only see results related to a song by that title.

        “The Ants” isn’t casual reading, it’s a dense compendium of everything known about ants, covering every known genus and their morphology and behavior. There’s a key, too, so you can identify ants based on their morphology, assuming you ever feel like counting antennomeres or tarsal segments.
