there's already a tech company called Here: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Here_Technologies

facebook deciding to just steal the name and brand of another company that's been around for 10 years would be pretty on-brand for them though

why'd they "attach" it to him? don't they normally put replacement organs inside of people?

So they could monitor it and take samples. Plus it was only for 2 days and then the guy gets to be dead and have a funeral and stuff.

Although many questions remain to be answered about the long-term consequences of the transplant, which involved a brain-dead patient followed only for 54 hours, experts in the field said the procedure represented a milestone.

the Soviet Regime transplanted different dogs heads on top of each other and two headed dogs and stuff

quote:

In the end, this two-headed dog lived only for just four days. Had a vein in the neck area not accidentally gotten damaged, it may have lived even longer than Demikhov’s longest-living two-headed dog, which survived 29 days

54 hours is kinda weak imo.

Not a replacement, an extra third kidney. The triple piss power was just too much for his weak brain to handle.

It sounds like the family wanted the body back soonish. He was an organ donor whose organs weren't suitable for transplant so the family agreed to let his braindead body be used for this instead. Letting them use the body for 3 days is different than agreeing to let them use the body for as long as it takes.

This was advertising its on the Solana chain and thus not environmentally damaging, and I've seen other NFTs advertising the same. I've tried go ogling to see if this is actually true and only get very questionable sources that all seem very biased (reddit, crypto websites, etc). Anyone ha e any info on if this is ACTUALLY not burning down rainforests?
