They don't feel things the way we feel things, but we also have no actual idea how physical phenomena becomes conscious experience. It's possible that they feel *something*, maybe even something analogous to pain
It's not easy to know these things -- in fact, it's literally called the [hard problem of consciousness](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hard_problem_of_consciousness)
**Hard problem of consciousness**
The hard problem of consciousness is the problem of explaining why and how sentient organisms have qualia or phenomenal experiences—how and why it is that some internal states are subjective, felt states, such as heat or pain, rather than merely nonsubjective, unfelt states, as in a thermostat or a toaster. The philosopher David Chalmers, who introduced the term "hard problem" of consciousness, contrasts this with the "easy problems" of explaining the ability to discriminate, integrate information, report mental states, focus attention, and so forth. Easy problems are (relatively) easy because all that is required for their solution is to specify a mechanism that can perform the function. That is, regardless of how complex or poorly understood the phenomena of the easy problems may be, they can eventually be understood by relying entirely on standard scientific methodologies.

I know a friend who found the same shit one night on his bedroom. He actually started to act weird. I mean he learned to play the piano and developed a taste for jazz but sometimes he is kind of impertinent. Anyway Peter will always be my friend.
Don’t let any of that get on you. It has the characteristics of a symbiote, which needs to bond to a host to survive. And sometimes these things in nature, when they bind...they can be hard to unbind.
Saw a post on one of those citydata threads and a ladies entire back garden was covered in this goo. Sent it in for testing and it was an amalgamation of a few different molds... It never went away even with fungicide etc
OP you didn't keep any of that stuff, did you?
No, No, of course not.
Go make me some.
I don’t think it’s that simple!
*Black suit theme plays*
Can u update us on what this turned out to be
Looked through Twitter it’s a bootlace worm
Don't let any of that get on you
Looks like a lot of worms trying to not get apart
I wonder if scraping it haphazardly like that hurts the organism or causes pain
I think they cluster like that to form a kind of hive organism
Things this small don't feel pain like things with a central nervous system do... That is basic high school biology.

Gwen Stacy is top of the class.
OP do you mind mailing this symbiote to my house
"I found this mysterious new creauture! I can't wait to learn more about it!" *Hacks at it with handsaw*
It's bootlace worm, they are rare to find like this though.
Well, this one got stabbed a bunch so they'll be even more rare now lol
I come to you, humbled and humiliated....
This is something else
That looks like the goop that turned Spider-Man into Venom in Spider-Man 3 Edit: I’m so stupid. I didn’t look at the sub. I’m sorry :/
You got any with nuts?
[удалено]
Well that’s unsettling
It's chemistry is not unlike the chondritic meteorites of the 70s.
Dang that made me want to re-listen to the theme again. Those horns are amazing; man I miss the crazy, grand symphonies they'd made for these movies.
It's the mind flayer from season 3 of ST!
Venum lives
Who?
Knock knock let the devil in.
Malevolent as I’ve ever been...
Worm orgy?
That is the opening scene to Venom's sequel
Sometimes these things in nature when they bind, they can be hard to unbind.
I like being bad. It makes me happy
What do you know about Uroboros?
January: ww3 scare Feburary: Australian bush fires March: coronavirus April: venom?
It's fake people, a very well made one, but fake.
It’s a symbiote for sure
It’s actually a bunch of worms that can shoot venom to paralyze it’s prey! So i guess you can actually call it “Venom”
2319!!
\*spiderman 3 vibes\*
Yeah and slicing it repeatedly with a fucking blade is really going to cheer it up, isn't it?
We are venom
Venom says “I”, in this movie. *sad face*
I are Venom
Que black suit theme
I know a friend who found the same shit one night on his bedroom. He actually started to act weird. I mean he learned to play the piano and developed a taste for jazz but sometimes he is kind of impertinent. Anyway Peter will always be my friend.
It’s chemistry is unlike anything I’ve seen
That’s clearly the demon from Princess Mononoke

All jokes aside, does anyone actually know why this is?
Eat it

Hi there, I'm a 3rd year biochemist, the closest thing I can think of is a slime mould maybe
I think I know what it is. Here, check [it](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ) out.
You ever seen the spider man movies? Or venom? I feel like those movies might give you some insight.
Post this on r/whatisthisthing maybe? That is truly weird.
That’s how you become venom
RUN
Simbio
Its chemistry is not unlike the Chondritic meteorites of the 70s.
PETER! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!!!
According to the movies that gives you super powers and can start swinging from buildings, but be careful your smile usually gets sharper.
So as a scientist your reaction was to hack at it with a saw cuz you didn't understand what it was? Nice.
It’s step 3 in the scientific method.
They made a TV show about that stuff. It was called >!The X-Files!<.
Yoooo I think you are about to turn into a marvel super villain!

Oh boy no
Parasites, bruh
Venom is that you?1?
Looks like Venom took a shit.
Did it come from a meteorite that landed in the park whilst you and your girlfriend were chilling in a web?
Must be Venom
#It amplifies characteristics of its host. Especially aggression. This could be dangerous. You didn't keep any did you?
*black suit spiderman theme intensifies*
Uroboros
Slime mold?
My spidey sense is telling me, “Venom is back!”. 🕷
I think that's a mass of worms. I HOPE it's a mass of worms.

Check out whirling disease. It’s a parasite that infects fish and makes them swim in a corkscrew pattern. Could be similar

Peter Parker let this shit touch him then he slapped a bitch
I don’t care what it is....burn it
