Think tank.

[–]munge_me_not 23 points24 points ago

If that thing tipped over, there'd a brainstorm.

[–]synthaxx 15 points16 points ago

Then the floor sure would be an intellectual challenge.

One wrong step and you might blow a mind.

[–]shivers13 10 points11 points ago

You wouldn't want to waste such a flow of ideas

[–]Lukem1999 3 points4 points ago

You would lose your mind with such an extensive flow of ideas.

[–]Crossbowshootr 7 points8 points ago

Was that meant to be a Fallout Reference of Big MT?

[–]overused_ellipsis 4 points5 points ago

Definitely a bathtub from the wastes...

The circle goes on.

[–]synthaxx 1 point2 points ago

Must have been somewhere in the back of my mind.

Let's see who wins it next repost.

[–]inuizzy -1 points0 points ago

Thats's what happens when you're brainwashed.

[–]dailydoseofdave 12 points13 points ago

It's weird to think one of those is inside your skull behind your eyeballs right now..

[–]banana_almighty 6 points7 points ago

Hell, your entire entity can be contained in one of those...

[–]everfalling 2 points3 points ago

can? is.

[–]YourCoConnect 3 points4 points ago

And will soon be lying preserved in a dingy bathtub. Have a nice day!!!

[–]cookiewalla 4 points5 points ago

brains in a bathtub, it raises more questions then it answers, can anyone elaborate?

[–]KrapXela 3 points4 points ago

I know some of my university's biology profs buy brains from slaughterhouses for their labs. I guess it is a possibility that this photo is taken at a slaughterhouse that frequently sells brains.

[–]cookiewalla 1 point2 points ago

Yeah... I guess allthough the shittyness of the bathtub makes me doubt it abit... But then again, its a recession people might not be buying brains with the gusto they used to. Youve put my mind at ease, ill reckon thats why some guy somewhere has a shitty batchtub filled with brains.

[–]MedicalJargon-itis 3 points4 points ago

In medical school there are separate dissections of the brain and the rest of the body. All the cadavers have their calvaria opened and the brain removed. The brains are fixed in some kind of solution (not quite formaldehyde but something like that), so that may be what's going on here. We got our brains in separate tupperware containers swimming in a similar looking fluid.

[–]robo23 0 points1 point ago

We had to put our cadaver's brain in a big paint bucket from Lowe's.

[–]Cheezoncrack 1 point2 points ago

what the fuck

[–]robo23 0 points1 point ago

It did the trick, although it wasn't too much fun when brain water accidentally rushed into your glove when you were fishing out a brain to study.

[–]Cheezoncrack 1 point2 points ago

ok thats to much

[–]robo23 0 points1 point ago

Well, the same thing happened with body fat during the actual dissections.

[–]And_go 2 points3 points ago

If you look at the profile view of some of the brains, they look like they once belonged to an animal. I'm guessing someone who slaughters animals decided to save their brains for some reason. Perhaps they just wanted a creepy picture.

[–]cookiewalla 1 point2 points ago

Yeah it sounds reasonable enough, but the brains look human to me. Regardless, it seems like hardwork, cracking open skulls just for a picture. I mean a cranium ( I imagine mind you) would be quite hard to snap open, and all the brains look intact enough. I guess what im saying is; The brains look human, its hard work to open a (or around 30) skulls just for a larf. But the again fuck do i know

[–]wdejr 1 point2 points ago

Whether they are human or not, I am not sure. But if they are animal brains I know that some countries the brain is eaten and someone has set up some home-business of cooked game-brains.

[–]Flexgrow 0 points1 point ago

There's a museum for that.

[–]And_go 0 points1 point ago

Look at the ones you can see clearly, on the top, that aren't submerged in the water. Three or four of them appear much thinner than a human brain, like someone flattened them pancake style. For example, here is a sheep brain and here is a human brain. Of course, it appears there are some in there that look much rounder, but there are obviously rounded animal brains, as well. My thinking is that if a handful can be identified as animal, the others probably are, too.

Zombie bait.

[–]smackson 6 points7 points ago

Dirty minds.

[–]MacyyRC 2 points3 points ago

I doubt those are human brains

[–]jeeluhh 6 points7 points ago

They look quite a lot like human brains with less gyrus/sulcus so it's definitely primate. The position of the occipital lobe and spinal column are indicative of a biped, quadrupeds have way different shaped brains.

Just for the record, there are many human brains in some sort of vat, yes?

[–]Brother_Clovis 0 points1 point ago

This is actually a picture of the basement of a christian school.

[–][deleted] -1 points0 points ago

Oh come on you guys, every med student in his first course has seen all that and much more. And not a single one of students in my course exclaimed disgust or similar feelings.

[–]Franetic 4 points5 points ago

I don't think its the actual brains that are considered WTF but the fact they're floating around in a dirty old bathtub somewhere.

[–][deleted] -1 points0 points ago

Well med students see them floating in a clean bathtub occasionally, big deal,
