There’s a simpler way to resurrect a seemingly dead fly, sometimes used as a magic trick. Put a live fly in the freezer. When it is cold enough it starts to hibernate and will appear to be dead. Just holding it in the palm of your hand gives it enough heat to warm up and come to life again.
Can’t say I condone this, it seems rather cruel.
- namanyayg 7y agoCruel? The fly didn't even realize what happened and forgot as soon as it left your palm.
- RankingMember 7y agoI feel like the "if they don't know what happened it's ok" perspective is a bit of a low bar ethically.

- namanyayg 7y agoNot just know, have no comprehension of understanding. It's doubtful it registers as pain to them. I was playing devil's advocate for a bit, there are much crueler things one can imagine. Freezing and unfreezing like this has been the dream in much of sci fi. And it doesn't cause any harm or difference at the end?
