The video shows brains, but no blood.

10000 brains in individual buckets in a basement. The brains were obtained without consent and now poses an ethical dilemma.

I was so interested in this that I called them to ask how much 100g of brain would cost. They said €10. I thought this was a bargain so I said I’d take 100g of Portuguese brain. They said it would cost €10,000. I said “WTF, you said €10”. They responded “Do you know how hard it is to find 100g of Portuguese brain”.

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.
