Welcome to c/science_memes @ Mander.xyz!

A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.

Rules

  1. Don't throw mud. Behave like an intellectual and remember the human.
  2. Keep it rooted (on topic).
  3. No spam.
  4. Infographics welcome, get schooled.

This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.

Blind as permanently blind?

[–] Wooki 38 points 2 days ago (14 children)

Correct, nothing can move, not your lungs, not your eye lids, nothing. So he went very blind from staring at the sun for 30mins straight while people did cpr until ambulance arrived

What about the heart?

[–] roguetrick 9 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

It would take a very large dose to affect the heart and even then it would just lead to a slower heart rate instead of stopping it. The heart does not need nerves to tell it to beat and it's action potential triggering is different than muscles and nerves. They'll be brain dead from being without oxygen before they're heart dead, similar to opioid overdoses.
