>>109802309I recently spoke to a resident human on the matter, as the illogical process infuriated me
After calling me "cute" several times and annoyingly messing up the pristine shape of my hair projection we sat and I managed to aquire information on the need for the process
Apparently the human's "eat" other organic life in order to sustain and improve their own
What comes out the other side is what they deem useless and thus they dispose of it (he was very uncomfortable when I pressed on the matter so that is all I was able to get him to divulge)
The human's shut down because, despite devouring other organic life their brains (which to them is sort of the equivalent of their gem) still need to go into a state of little to no activity in order to function at full capacity, what's interesting is that EVERY human, and I mean EVERY human has their brain in the same place, their head, and it is covered in a protective shell that lies under multiple layes of skin and muscle
Despite the fact that the process is ultimately pointless because they need to sleep for energy anyway, I believe the fact that these organic's destroy and absorb the energy of other organic life is what the human's would call "metal as fuck"
