I know someone who gave CPR on someone bitten by one of these.
They lived because of the CPR. They came out of hospital fine, except they were now blind because their eyes were open staring up at the hot summer Aussie sun for the entire time they were getting CPR etc.
I know my Ford just has a data toggle. Turn it off and it stops sending and receiving data from the cloud.
But stuff stops working when I do that. The traffic, and app stuff all need it I think. Gps has a toggle too but it just seems to turn off the map stuff.
I like to think they are this messed up because of some unknown dumb thing. My current take is micro plastics. Microplastics cause them to go off the deep end. Fix that, we fix them too.
I have caused this exact issue to a manufacturing plant once.
The ordering system we used to order manufacturing parts and also non manufacturing things was my system. Orders were loaded in and processed with multiple sign-offs to ensure legal ok and everything is above board. The system was from the 80s, but still worked.
One day, I got a call about an error when someone was making a critical order. It was failing and crashing the system. Panic was beginning to set in after we couldn't figure it out for a couple of hours.
Well it turned out there was an "amendment" limit. Someone was trying to order toilet paper (from a supplier across the road from the plant), and had amended the order 999 times, and it was failing on the 1000th because they were being lazy, and had done this same thing for many years.
A new order after deleting the old one fixed it.
We had two hours of TP left, if it had run out, the plant would have closed.
The video of these being disproved came out two years ago lol
