Genius Slime Mold Solves a Maze!

Genius Slime mold solves a maze

[SteveVilence]

You're going to give it a real challenge. Jerry rearranged the Tokyo subway system

[heyimstillhere]

"do you have any pets?"
"yea, i got a pet mold."

We gave jerry sentience and he asked us to end his existence. We fed him oats instead and he liked that.

[janellewalters]

They done an experiment with a maze like Tokyos train system, and the mold followed a more efficient route then the actual train schedule. It was incredible.

[MrMkful]

PLEASE do more of these, looks fascinating, there’s a whole video how Jerry was used to rearrange the Tokyo subway to make it more efficient

[mrchief]

Jerry is going to take over my body, give me super human powers, talk to me, eat people, and rename itself venom isn't it

[epochnoir]

It's fascinating how you can see Jerry attempt different directions, but once he finds the right way, all of his energy focuses in the right direction.

Edit: Thank you all for the likes! 🤯

It's only a matter of time until jerry grows self-awareness and takes over the world

[HelloThere.....]

It's called chemotaxis. The slime leaves behind chemicals as it finds its path, and once it finds its target, it can chemically sense the chemical concentration gradient of what it left behind and remember how to return to the original spore.

It also can do this to the carbohydrates and organic molecules that indicate a food source.

Dont know if it's true but i heard that someone (im guessing Japan) made this on a maze shaped like the underground of Tokyo where the treats simulated the metro stops, so the amoeba made a map of an optimal metro lines distribution

[YoutubePizzer]

well since you gave him a name i can’t be horrified

[notsae]

I fuckin' love slime molds! They're such weird little goobers, just slimin' about and somehow doing complex calculations without any known method of even thinking at all! Crazy stuff, glad these little blobs aren't hostile to people.

[niccologravili]

Jerry just did his homework and studied graph search algorithms .

[roxyraccoon]

Here's a fun fact: They tested this amoeba by placing food mapping out the cities around Tokyo, then let the amoeba work. The amoeba perfectly mapped out the train system connecting Tokyo and the other cities.

Edit: If you're heading down to the comments, be sure to wear a hazmat suit. Divinity's toxic stupidity radiation is off the charts.

How is "one cell" so stretchy??
It's like me turning into a goddamn forest in a few days.

[AnoraJohnson]

*Make a maze with **_two_** finishes* - one with food, one with a material Jerry hates. I want to see how Jerry responds.

[DoctorBC]

Inevitably, you’re gonna slip up and Jerry is gonna eat you for breakfast.

Final Maze: "TODAY GUYS, WE WILL PUT JERRY IN THE BACKROOMS."

Jerry's pov: The time I got reincarnated as a slime to solve puzzles

[Cybuds_THEREAL]

my favorite part is when jerry said "its jerryin time" and jerryed to the exit
