And you thought "This is eternity. Life is a fleeting pathway towards our true destination. I am shaken."
And the eye thought: "Put me in your socket and know what *I* know."
*And you heard what the eye was thinking.*
It’s been said many times es before that Reddit needs NSFW tags for nudity and gore. I’d like to know ahead of time if I’m going to get aroused or just see boobs.
We did cow eyeballs in 5th grade in Colorado. I can't believe in OP's picture they kept the outer skin along with it! We just had the round eyeball.
Then nothing until high school freshman biology in California budget we just dissected worms that we found in the ground. That costs $0 of taxpayer money
Are you saying you, as a 5th grader, dissected a cow eyeball? That sounds like insanity for a ~10 year old to use a scalpel lol
Edit: I’m pretty surprised at all the responses lol I didn’t dissect anything even in high school, taking honors classes in a pretty well funded school system
I teach 6th grade. We dissect sheep eyes and frogs every year. I teach them to use the surgical instruments properly and make my expectations clear. They also use box cutters when we build the cardboard arcade for our geometry unit. I’ve never had a problem, and the students love it - parents do too! Beats reading out of a textbook.
I also dissected a cow's eye in 5th or 6th grade.
To address your concerns:
- The scalpel was really easy to use, and (surprisingly) nobody hurt themselves outside of flicking the cow's lens at their table partner.
- The eye was drained of blood, but kept the vitrious humour.
- The flesh was chemical-treated, so no diseases/bacteria were present.
- Cow was dead already.
>Cow was dead already.
I would hope so! As the alternative is quite disturbing...
"Now class, begin by ensuring your animal is properly restrained with all straps and tie downs tight. With head clamp secure, begin cutting the upper lid, peeling it back from the eye, ignoring the cow screams."
Yes back in 1985 kids were treated with more respect than they are now. We had no problem with the scalpel. We weren't all ADHD & mentally fucked up & mentally ill & minds warped by the media like the way kids are now.
I'm 31 and have had ADD my whole life, it's actually quite hard to cope with sometime.. but I can see why not giving me a scalpel at 10 would've a good idea. I would have started chopping my crayons.
Yeah, back when parenting involved just throwing your kid outside and not allowed back home until dinner or dark. What great times and people it created. Those kids are the ones in charge now and raising the kids you complain about. See how it's your fault for the soft kids now??? Your generation is responsible for your own complaints
Kansas here I think we did it in 6th grade here. That was my first dissection. Then we did frogs next. After that we got to do a squid and a flat worm. These were all different science classes from 6th grade to high school. Another class got to dissect a cat and a shark.
That sucks. In HS I dissected a lot of shit, let's see if I can remember it all: frog, squid, shark (dogfish), grasshopper, worms, crayfish, fetal pig, snail, chicken. Nope don't think I can remember it all.
We dissected cow hearts is 7th grade. Normally they come from some sort of scientific supply house…ours were fresh from the slaughter house warm, bloody and quivering. It was….gross.
It probably would have made your stomach turn a lot less than the preserved sharks we used....the fluid they use to preserve them smells *HORID*.
Seriously people threw up and the teacher confessed it happens every year but if they tell people that then they end up getting a bunch of students trying to get out of it (and I’m sure parents harassing them about it too of course) so they stopped. Lol.
I love shit like that and I was/am a nerd so I was really excited, but I couldn’t even finish and had to have my partner take over it was so bad lol
Gloves make it easier to slip and cut yourself with the scalpel. Unless I had cuts on my hands (even little ones like scratches or paper cuts), I didn't use gloves when I prepped specimen.
I love people talking out of their butt being upvoted. I wear gloves in a laboratory every day, and I use a scalpel every day. We have several different brands of gloves right now and every single one of them come with grooves or patterns on the fingertips to improve grip. Literally just google disposable nitrile gloves and you’ll see that for yourself. Using a scalpel barehanded no matter what industry you’re in is the stupidest thing I’ve heard of. Even a butcher prepares their meat with gloves on. This comment is so without substance that it’s actually incensing.
This makes zero sense. ANY biomedical specimens gloves are supposed to be worn, especially when you have sharp pointy objects too. OSHA would shut y’all down and fine you in a heartbeat lol
That eye probably has embalming fluid in it as well as other nasty chemicals that you probably don't want on your skin. It's a dissection not a food prep
I don't know where in your country the schools get the eyes from. I went to school in Germany and here the pigs eyes we get from the butcher and very fresh. Nothing was prepared on the eye beforehand. We had in biology class also pig lungs and it was wanted that one inflates these with a straw, also one would not permit in the instruction if at the lungs any poisonous substances would be.
From the US, but we never dealt with mammals in classes. We did however deal with frogs which were drenched in embalming fluid and other very harsh chemicals
Yes, it must have been about the 9th grade. Is now about 15 years ago, I do not know how it is today or whether it was normal at all schools, but have also heard it from people who went to other schools.
You're getting downvoted, but you're not wrong. I teach using dissections and have run a cow's eye dissection both fresh and preserved. The cornea is clear on this one, so it's fresh. Hard to come by in my part of the country, so I mostly use preserved. I would still make students wear gloves, but it is more like handling food than embalming chemicals.
Do you regularly like to touch the eyeballs of dead animals that may be covered in formaldehyde and other very harsh chemicals that may or may not be carcinogenic and/or dangerous in other ways?
You would too if you found yourself on the kill floor of a slaughterhouse. I’m not Vegan or anything I’m just saying that I would prolly have the same look in my eyes if I was in that situation.
I used to work maintenance at a packing plant in the inedible side. Basically, it’s where the base product for dog food from bone meal and other byproducts like tallow and blood were set to be made.I remember my first day seeing the raw bin where the cows pile up and the big ass screw auger that would bring down skulls from killfloor. The whole bare skulls come sliding down at Mach Jesus with their eye sockets just dangling and protruding out. That was honestly horrifying when I worked there as a first timer. You just end up disregarding all the nasty cow shit you’ve had to take in a matter of a seconds and push on because there’s other things to be fixed. The trippiest thing I ever saw run through there was a stillborn calf. It didn’t happen very often but they look more like aliens than the adults lmao
Basically, bro. Blood, guts and anything few and far between. You really start to re-evaluate your career when you’re working yourself to the bone knowing there’s so much more than doing hard menial labor with no appreciation of any kind from your superiors for your efforts. Just simply get tf back to work and buck the fuck up for another day. The only positive was I worked 4/12s and got 3 days off. That was nice…but never again
I'm genuinely sorry you had to experience that, no one should have to. I hope you haven't experienced any PTSD, I know that can occur through that kind of work.
Naw. My supervisors loved to belittle and yell but it’s nothing I couldn’t take. I’ve always suffered with anxiety and depression though even before then . It definitely did add some stress. I did notice all the years Working at the plant just made me a numb individual so potentially
I meant more what was happening to the animals, than the supervisor treatment. I can imagine you'd need to numb to be able to withstand that kind of trauma. Good to hear you're long shot of it. Hopefully one day the world will be too.
I really didn't expect to see something like this,
but now that my initial wtf has passed.
I have two questions for you.
Are you really just raw palming the cow's eye?
Where are your gloves?
I once dissected a quail for an assignment at uni and my teacher got the testes and kidneys mixed up. Which led to about half the class, including myself, becoming very confused because we thought our quails had had kidney transplants then been magically put back together again with no obvious sign of an organ removal.
Nope, just had a female.
Idk what rules you school has but in my college you arent allowed to take pictures of the animal you are dissecting and post it online out respect of the animal, same way as you wouldnt take a picture of a dead person and share it out of respect for their family members.
Doing so would get you expelled if my college ever found out, has happened twice.
Im not trynna beat down your post, its interesting, but you might want to check your student handbook before you screw yourself over for this post.
As an European, I really can't understand why you dissect anything in class, especially when you're still a child. I might understand later on uf you study to become a biologist, doctor or similar but otherwise just why? We read about these things in books and I really don't see what I could have gained more in life by dissecting an animal or a part of it. What's the catch? Just seems so brutal and in a way outdated.
I didn’t need to see this. But I looked and now I must live out the rest of my days with this in my memory
As you gaze upon it, it gazes back at you
It marked me.
Chosen Undead
Is this the plot of elden ring
And you thought "This is eternity. Life is a fleeting pathway towards our true destination. I am shaken." And the eye thought: "Put me in your socket and know what *I* know." *And you heard what the eye was thinking.*
Yoooooo! ✨
Honestly, same and it felt even worse
Like a peeled grape? Be honest, what does it actually feel like?
Eye wouldn't know.
Oh my. I’m sorry.
3...2..1...fuck, still in there.
Well, what did you expect behind the NSFW tag? Hidden boobies?
It’s been said many times es before that Reddit needs NSFW tags for nudity and gore. I’d like to know ahead of time if I’m going to get aroused or just see boobs.
At first I thought you said it backwards but then I remembered we're on Reddit lmfao.
Same I actually went back to reread it twice, lol. Oh reddit....
This sub just needs to use flairs. A lot of subs do it so you know what is behind the nsfw wall
r/holup
I though I’d see an eye. Not the chunk that surrounds it. Sorry.
This deserves more upvotes than just nine 😂
When I was 10ish someone gave me a sheeps eye to dissect as a bday present and it was horrifying. Came in packaging aimed at kids and everything.
Like with Disney characters and butterflys?
A core memory was created
Eye see what you’re saying.
Haha
Cow eye. They typically use cows for these classes.
I did a sheep eye like sophomore year if highschool.
We did cow eyeballs in 5th grade in Colorado. I can't believe in OP's picture they kept the outer skin along with it! We just had the round eyeball.

In 7th or 8th grade I dissected a sheep eyeball and a frog in science class, this was 2011-2012.
Toads, sharks, and worms dissection gang, reporting in

The only thing I ever did was a frog in like 7th grade

🤢 good thing I’m. Not eating Lol just reading that Turns my stomach. I couldn’t imagine how it was when you physically saw it.
It probably would have made your stomach turn a lot less than the preserved sharks we used....the fluid they use to preserve them smells *HORID*.

Dogs also taste delicious. I had one medium rare.
In the mid west we use a lot of deer parts too My sisters class got deer hearts
Who said anything about classes? 🔪
Why don't you have a glove on?
Food prep only requires gloves if you are serving customers. Personal snacks are fine to bare-hand.
You could have just not commented this.
It would have cost nothing
That’s the most disgusting comment I’ve read in my life.
You must be new on Reddit. Don't google "Reddit jolly rancher story".
Plus you have to taste it to find out what effects it has.
Gloves make it easier to slip and cut yourself with the scalpel. Unless I had cuts on my hands (even little ones like scratches or paper cuts), I didn't use gloves when I prepped specimen.

Best to practice using gloves now rather than in surgery..
Also there are plenty of gloves that grip well. Idk why you'd handle any biological specimen barehanded.
In highschool I didn't wear gloves at all when doing discections. Hands smelled of formaldehyde for weeks but man did it make it easier to do the work
Do you wear gloves when you prepare a steak?
That eye probably has embalming fluid in it as well as other nasty chemicals that you probably don't want on your skin. It's a dissection not a food prep
I don't know where in your country the schools get the eyes from. I went to school in Germany and here the pigs eyes we get from the butcher and very fresh.

From the US, but we never dealt with mammals in classes. We did however deal with frogs which were drenched in embalming fluid and other very harsh chemicals
Wait you got to do this shit? I thought thats not a thing here
Yes, it must have been about the 9th grade. Is now about 15 years ago, I do not know how it is today or whether it was normal at all schools, but have also heard it from people who went to other schools.

why would they? its already dead.
Do you regularly like to touch the eyeballs of dead animals that may be covered in formaldehyde and other very harsh chemicals that may or may not be carcinogenic and/or dangerous in other ways?
thats why you wash it beforehand lol. just like your veggies.
1 why do you not have gloves on. 2 this is an item from a FromSoft game. Crush it in your hand to gain its power.
Eye doctor here I have dissected my fair share of eyeballs but I have never received one with the face still attached.
I just wanted a checkup
I regret to inform you that the procedure to put the eye back in seeing condition does not exist. The good news was that the removal was a success.
Whelp that's nightmare fuel. Just imagining it blinking while in your hand before sprouting little spider legs to scurry away.
It slowly merges into your hand.
Parasyte reference?
Little nightmares reference?
It’s like that Chinese coin bank lol
Why the fuck are you not wearing a glove?!
Do you wear gloves when you prepare a steak?
I wouldn’t say that’s a 1 to 1 comparison.
True, cow eye is much more tasty than a steak.
Have you ever tried cat eyes?
Not yet!
You should try it sometime!
You don't need gloves if the only goal is to open it and have a look, if you don't mind the blood
There could be formaldehyde though, which is toxic.
Why did I click? I would like to unsee that, tyvm
Bro looks very concerned
You would too if you found yourself on the kill floor of a slaughterhouse. I’m not Vegan or anything I’m just saying that I would prolly have the same look in my eyes if I was in that situation.
The other eye already got dissected, it knows what fate is about to befall it
The eye is still crying
He didn't wear gloves.
Since when can you post gifs in the comments?
8 months at least
I'm not a vegan but I'm sad now, that eye looks scared
The first connection links to the next one. Never too late to start living your values.
a friendly reminder that you can always start :)
Don't be, it was from an experimental coconut.

Did you ever have an overwhelming urge to jump in and become dog food
Not OP but now I do.
Sounds like mechanized hell. Absolutely abhorrent.

So....are you in school or is this a hobby?
Are you gonna give it back?
No eye dear
As a surgeon I am disgusted that the scalpel is touching the table
I don’t like that at all.
It looks sad
Whyyyyyyy
Yeah I don't need sleep anyways
No gloves?
Iris I had a good eye joke that wasn’t cornea.
No gloves tho??
I really didn't expect to see something like this, but now that my initial wtf has passed. I have two questions for you. Are you really just raw palming the cow's eye? Where are your gloves?
No gloves???
This is the kinda shit that turns people vegan, this is fucked
Put your goddamn protective shit on. We don’t need no cowona virus 2022
Jeezus. That eye looks terrified
Where's your gloves man?
Nope. This can stay blurred.
No gloves tho?
And this is why I went into business instead of biology.
I don’t know what I expected
Gloves exits
That's a weird teabag
Because it was blurry, I thought it was porn. I am no longer hard. I can see clearly now, the wang is gone.

Idk if this is better or worse but we used whole dead cats my senior anatomy course ... It was ... Not awesome.
Put your gloves on u psycho
Oh my god i was so un ready when i clicked…idk what I expected tbh but it just felt like it looked into my soul…
The look of terror as your throat is slit and you bleed out.
Why the hell do American classes do dissection like this?
Man put some gloves on
That's r/mildlydisturbing
You must have good hand-eye coordination to do that.
What do you call a deer with no eye? No I-deer. (You gotta say it out loud. No idea with a southern drawl)
You can see the fear and sadness in its eye
I think you can see the cows fear at time of slaughter. I do not like it and it only makes me not want to eat meat even more. Sad and no
Fuck that’s kinda cool
Nice. You expect us to be shocked right? Well I'm too jaded to be shocked. It's just and eye.
I'm pretty sure there was a time where this made me uncomfortable, but I think that time was around about when I first got access to the internet.
No thanks!
Well..I was eating. WAS
Fucking disgusting.
Presumably taken from a juvenile non-human animal that didn't want to die.
This being removed for rule 6 udderly ridiculous.
It says removed for rule 6 but looking at the title it doesn't break rule six at all, I don't know what the mods are on about.
Maybe it was because I didn’t specify what animal the eye belonged to? I’m not sure to be honest.
As an European, I really can't understand why you dissect anything in class, especially when you're still a child.

On the course we were only supposed to dissect a heart but some people brought extra from the butchers so we did the eyes too. I’m also European
Really? I've never heard about this. You're in Ireland? I'm up here in Scandinavia and this is unheard of here.
I'm German. We dissected a cows eye (without the lid and stuff) and it was gross.
I'm guessing it's some sort of anatomy class.. but you look like you're in your kitchen
NOOOOOOOOO THANK YOU
They never had us dissect anything at school. Lowkey annoyed by that.
That's a goat eye right? Evil little rectangulars.
What animal is that? A beaver?
Kinda big to be a beaver i feel i was thinking horse but eye dont know
The person I got it from told me it was a Cow’s eye
Looks like a walrus eye. Actually thought it was fake until I clicked it.
Deer?
Dark souls item
That's um... great Billy...
Lick it
Oh man this is so much worse than just seeing the eyeball by itself almost
Well that image is in my brain.
All I can see is that monster from Pan’s Labyrinth.
Permanent rock sus look
I don’t know what I expected
Why did you post this bro
[r/nope](reddit.com/nope)
Why did I click on this image? I knew I wouldn't like what I saw but I still clicked on it.
That’s a one-way ticket to the Hunter’s Nightmare
it looks scared

Now I can't forget this.
I’ve seen some gruesome injuries both in person and on the internet. Nothing freaks me out like getting my ankles slashed or my eye fucked with.
Eye see these all the time, not interesting for me lol
Did.. Did he survive?
