Not fully, but we know it requires a minimum amount of activity in the brains of vertabrates, and at least observable in some large invertebrates.

I’m vastly oversimplifying and I’m not an expert, but essentially all consciousness is, is an automatic processing state of all present stimulation in a creatures environment that allows it to react to new information in a probably survivable way, and allow it to react to it in the future with minor changes in the environment. Hence why you can scare an animal away from food while a threat is present, but you can’t scare away an insect.

It appears that the frequency of activity is related to the amount of information processed and held in memory. At a certain threshold of activity, most unfiltered stimulus is retained to form what we would call consciousness - in the form of maintaining sensory awareness and at least in humans, thought awareness. Below that threshold both short term and long term memory are impaired, and no response to stimulation occurs. Basic autonomic function is maintained, but severely impacted.

Agents have debated that the new phenomenon may or may not constitute a new designation. While some have reported the painting following them, the same agents will then later report nothing seems to occur. The agents who report a higher frequency of the painting following them also report a higher frequency of unexplained injury. The injuries can be attributed to cases of self harm, leading scientists to believe these SCP agents were predisposed to mental illness that was not caught during new agent screening.

Idk. Sometimes I wonder if psychosis is preferable to reality.

That seems to be my experience so that’s handy.

Doesn’t exactly help me much though.

Ahhh.

Ok, so then the real thing I’m learning here is that the shell is made out of the lighter, softer material to deliver the energy. They put the penetrator cap on, usually made of steel or some stronger heavier material, but it’s thin so not significantly decreasing shell velocity. However, the shape of the penetrator allows for the energy to be delivered all at one precise spot, but it causes the flight characteristics to suck. To get the flight back, they add a thin lightweight material back over the penetrator that is negligible in terms of reducing the energy the penetrator delivers.

Cool

TIL. I always thought it was the opposite.

Look man , I’m just saying it ain’t no debate.

Even though those say AP on them, I’m pretty sure those are the heavier APBC shells used later.

What? God this whole damn thread is straight over my head

Well

I guess I’m gonna be that guy at Thanksgiving

Edit: I have no idea what that is, but it doesn’t do what I was thinking

And that is why we do not give Adderall to people without adhd.

It was either that or die of boredom

… No?

“rizz em with the tism” is my go to bio line

And I just get shame for no sex at all.

Fuck this timeline. I’m out y’all.

Rocks can’t think.

We made talking rocks. That’s worse.
