I’ve seen plenty of jelly fish but I can’t really fathom what it would feel like to lick one. Would it be smooth but spicy? Would it be prickly? Would it be slimy? IDK!
As a person who probably has a death wish as a kid, i can tell you they are smooth and jelly like.
Me desperately looking around the room for things to think about licking
The 6 volt battery I licked once would like words.
isn’t that a way to check if they still have charge in them?
The ability to extrapolate what something would taste/feel like from mere looks is a learned one.
Toddlers don’t have it yet, which is why they’re stuffing everything into their mouths.
You might not consciously remember licking a carpet, but the part of you that’s holding up the “dusty”, “textured” and “CRUMBS!!” signs does.
makes sense
Have you tested this? Or are you just guessing what things would feel like, and assuming you’re right without trying it?
im six months late, (forgot about lemmy) but i did test it, i looked at something i never touched that would probably be fine to lick, and licked it. Probably doesn’t work all the time.
Oh thank God. I can finally sleep again! That scientific quandary was keeping me up at night.
I appreciate your dedication to science!
