> When you go on a speculative evolution board for shits and giggles, and someone actually thinks it'd be possible for an organism to evolve sonar powerful enough to pulverize rock.
What is the dumbest side-branch in science /sci/?
saging
if you want to imply such basic shit is impossible, idk what to say

So it's like, a lazier version of crystal science?

Anon did you know that tiger roars are so low pitch that they emit infrasounds that paralyze things near them?
>>7907198
im assuming this is more psychological, as the paralysis is physiological instead of directly physical
>>7907202
No its physical you can literally feel the infrasound vibrating through you.
>>7907211
Hot
>>7907214
Especially when it hits your brown note

>speculative evolution board
You mean THE speculative evolution board.
>>7907211
unless those vibrations are changing the state of matter in your body to one you can not longer physically control, it is your brain that is causing the paralysis
>>7907243
Anon have you ever melt your bones shaking next to a sound speaker its something like that. It paralyzes insects that lack the cognitive ability to feel fear.
>>7907248
What about insects that do have the cognitive ability to feel fear, does it not work on them?
Also OP you're a retard what have you got to show that it isn't at least in principle possible?
>>7907285
Insects dont feel fear thats just a motor instinct to move away from anything thats big.
>>7907287
what the fuck is fear holy shit. are you trolling
>>7907287
How can you know what an insect subjectively experiences? You're not even an insect.
>>7907382
>on the internet nobody knows you're an insect
>>7907193
That second video is fucking gold. Thanks for making this thread good.
>>7907285
>insects that do have the cognitive ability to feel fear
that's the stupidest thing ive ever read
>>7907451
How can insects be afraid if they don't feel fear?
>>7907193
The mantis shrimp is breaking rock with its "fists". OP is talking about sonar.
>>7907489
Well, what is fear? Perceived danger of something. All living organisms have self-preservation embedded inside them. Insect is basically running away from something because his instics tells it that there is danger somewhere. It doesn't have to feel fear the same way we do.
>>7907498
It would be pretty stupid to have sonar destroy things because what's the point of detecting things with echolocation if that destroys said things?
Therefore I think we can just assume OP means shock waves.
>>7907502
>It doesn't have to feel fear the same way we do.
Of course not it's a fucking insect. It feels fear the way insects do. Doesn't mean it's not fear. Like you say, an insect probably has a perception of the danger of things.

>an insect probably has a perception of the danger of things.
It doesn't even have to have that. Those insects that did specific actions that ended in their demise aren't around anymore. Those that did the opposite are. It's as simple as that.
>>7907505
Regardless, there is no way an animal could evolve rock crushing powers from either of them.
>>7907522
Why exactly?
>>7907522
if it is not impossible, it is possible

By speculative evolution board you mean reddit?

I did say there were retards on there....
>>7907520
Well same goes for humans.
