      What’s really screwy is memories survive that process. You can do Pavlov’s dog type training on a caterpillar. The resultant butterfly will still react to the trigger.

      The brain goes through a liquid phase, but still manages to maintain its wiring!

      I really wonder what happened in your puberty to be “sorta like this”

      What, you didn’t crawl into your puberty sac and grow your sex organs?

      ‘Sorta like this’ meaning: we undergo some physical changes (height, body hair, hormones, etc) but nowhere near as dramatic as eating yourself and reassembling

      Nature/chem/physics is fuckin’ cool
