In the 1950s, H. R. Delgado at Yale University, and James Olds at McGill University, studied the effects on behavior that implanted electrodes have on rats. In one well known experiment, when given the choice between a lever that gave the rat food, and a lever that stimulated the pleasure center of the rats brain, the rat choose the electric stimulation to the point of death.

Holy fuck.
Humans are fucked up.

Basic behavioural study -shrug-


They did one with monkeys and an orgasm button. They had to stop because the monkeys wouldn't eat or sleep, just got off all day.

I think they should dp it with humans. It'd certainly minimise cheating, and al the people too stupid to realise there's other things to do in life would just die.

I've read that.
I can't believe they let things like that happen to animals, let alone people. Just leave our brains alone.

... though I would like an orgasm button hmmmm

That's the idea, Shal. We read it as a class and we were like Shocked and NOT COOL and we were all like "How could humans do this to one another?"
