You have an old medical machine at home, more specific, a electroshock machine used in… I don’t know, late 40s, early 50s (you never ask why is that thing in your place but its ok).
One day, a fluffy appears in your garden, eating your plants and shitting everywhere. You discovered it and the little shitrat tries to escape. Ita powerful weggies run as fast at they can, in a very impressive… 1 meter/hour, so catch it is the simplest thing ever.
And you, in your magnificent wisdom, uses your electroshock machine to give a lesson to the little shitrat.
Now the question is, knowing the weird fluffy anatomy, what do you thing it would happen?
A. The fluffy brain starts to works properly, make it speaking normal, being more intelligent.
B. The little moron becomes dumbest, not like a lobotomized one (and not even close to a sensitive babbeh), just stupid as hell.
C. You fried its brain and the little dick dies in the more painful and horrible way possible (probably its skull explodes).
D. Lobotomized or become a sensitive fluffy or returns to be a cheepy baby again.
E. Any other possibility (what is your headcanon?)
Back in the day, the hivecanon was that a good shock could “factory reset” a fluffy. Basically putting it back to its default state. Back when the biotoy shit was still popular.
The entire plot of Return to Oz but everything bad that could possibly happen to the fluffy happens to it and then it comes out of its delusion and gets its face smashed in with a crowbar
Punishment through electric shocks is a rather unique method. Prolonged exposure to electric shocks can cause the central nervous system to become overly sensitive to pain, leading to conditions where even non-painful sensations are perceived as painful—for example, a light touch might feel like being shocked.
This resembles the neural rewiring seen in chronic pain patients, a phenomenon known as maladaptive neuroplasticity.
Such individuals may also develop distinctive avoidance behaviors and excessive compliance. Some may even exhibit tonic immobility—a kind of ‘freeze’ or ‘playing dead’ response triggered before the shock, in an attempt to minimize perceived harm.
Another unusual effect is somatic dissociation: because the pain originates from their own body but they have no control over it, the brain may sever its sense of bodily awareness.
For example, the fluffy might think, ‘I know it hurts, but it doesn’t feel like it’s my body,’ or 'My hand doesn’t feel like it’s mine anymore.
So you can make a super obedient fluffy using that machine, you can even make them kill their own kinds without hearing any whine.
Also it’s possible they will start having seizure from time to time,which is fun to watch.
There was a case happened in 1996 in Japan,I was shocked when I first heard about how electric changes people’s brain so much to the point family members would do anything the bad guy asked them to do.
The bad guy is still alive, and he’s sentenced death penalty.
Wow! That’s some fascinating stuff. I had no idea about maladaptive neuroplasticity, but you may have just explained why I perceive cold as pain. I thought it was just an autism thing but I have had chronic pain for decades so Hmmm. Gave me something to research.
Man, I hope they kill Futoshi soon, we don’t need that shit on this planet.
