Imagine munching on some food, and then you suddenly gain your food’s traumatic memories
If you're eating nitrogruel and suddenly have a memory of slipping and falling into the mixing vat while screaming in terror before your body is mechanically shredded in the darkness under the ingredients...
... you shrug your shoulders, because that's not the first meal that you've had like that.
That's pretty much Konrad Curze on Nostramo.
It's eat or be eaten on Nostramo, literally and figuratively, and he's a Primarch so he ate a lot. He got to munch on the worst of humanity.
@@ostiariusalphamarine eating corpse starch be like: Now i have memories of 60 diferente people
@@anonimoqualquer5503 Nah, corpse starch is purposefully so processed (and probably psy-nulled) that you can't pick up even a trace of memory from it. It is utterly bland, both to the tongue and omophagea, as many a space marine has pointed out.

there's an excerpt of the lore where a space marine eats some kind of fish/aquatic animal and gets memories of a peaceful life and momentarily has an existential crisis
Honestly, my first thought would also be that it isn't a benefit to then knowing how their enemies feel and think but I guess in WH every race are crazy maniacs, except this peaceful aquatic lifeform so it all checks out
@@kevink7145 oh it was literally some mussels/oysters that he was politely eating. it works even on lower lifeforms which is why their food is always synthetic nutrients

The insane dilemma this power would bring
Warhammer 40k is so fckn g*y. It’s over-the-top cringe BS and the BS never stops. It’s so annoying.
Imagine being trained to resist torture, the excruciating hours spent honing your ability to withstand anything. And the day you get captured your jailer pulls out some bbq sauce and a fork.

Yes@@SlasherRGBeats
The Flesh Tearers are a pretty dope chapter. Reading about their struggle with the genetic flaw they carry is worth the read. Please make a video of the Flesh Tearers please!
Well I'm curious. Flesh Tearers, Lamenters, can you recommend any good novels with these guys? And also, what's your favourite read from the 40K novels. Been playing tabletop since late 80's. But I'd really like to catch up on some of the lore. It's gotten so massive. Thankyou!!
@@dazofthemoo1531 I highly suggest picking up the Sons of Sanguinius book. It was where I was first introduced to the Chapter and other characters like Astorath the Grim and Gabriel Seth. It definitely shows the more hardcore side of 40K. Especially the Red Thirst they carry, they literally make an Inquistor go mad from experiencing it.
@@morbidcuriosity4436 Cheers! Appreciate the info. Sounds like the perfect starting place to get reacquainted with my Blood Brothers!
@@morbidcuriosity4436 I just wish they released all in audio books, just so few have been done.
I can't sit and read no more, can still see but it just causes me to pass out and losing the page is irritating.
How can someone introduce themselves to 40k? I'm more interested in reading than playing, as I believe is also a table top game? I've dabbled but I love the lore so much I would like to start reading

All Astartes have this organ in theory not only the Blood Angels and their succesor chapters theirs is just overactive.
But i don’t know if it works properly in every geneseed.
Like for example the acid spitting organ is also inactive in some chapters.
Yes someone knows!
Mmmm mushrooms
Would an ork be considered a veggie burger?
bugre
The fact the chapters who eat their own dead are able to retain that fallen brother's skills and experience is a large reason why they do this and make such a large ritual of it. (there also the red thirst for the blood drinkers and flesh tearers.)
*space marine eats a dead slaaneshi marine and gains the memories of their pleasures*

Space marine: can't stop leaking.
@@darthjekyll3648 ye they'd inevitably he tempted in this scenario no matter how disturbed they are
Fun fact: Your stomach has its own brain called the Enteric Nervous System (ENS) and can operate independently from your brain or communicate with your central nervous system (CNS). So your brain already has a direct connection to the stomach. No implants necessary.
Not enough
...but I still don't know what that chicken saw up until the moment of it's death. I NEED TO KNOW!
@@Joel.Invictusyes and that orphan down the street knew something we didn't he escape from the Vatican 🙂
Biology is terrifying
ENS is just the peripheral nervous system that extends into the digestive tract. It's not a 'brain' per say. What's important about it is the different receptors It's riddled with, which run automated processes for the brain like the release of gastric biles, amylase, and other digestive processes like peristalsis.
"I'd rather be eaten alive than tell you!!"
XD
Blood drinkers and flesh tearers are that way because of the red thirst which is literally just The space marine version of vampirism
"Oh my God! What did you do?! Why?!"

Imagine eating something that's still alive, and you activate a live feed to all the new memories of it being eaten by you
Did you know the brain actually extends to the gut? It's called the second brain but in reality it's all one.
Brother those are nerves 🤦 but there isss a cluster of neurons in heart responsible for many of its important functions
But if I haven't heard of the thing you are talking about so tell me about it If am wrong
I play a D&D character that consumes the blood and flesh of dead foes to gain their knowledge and energy, and I’ve only just now heard of (the first part) being a thing here. Very metal.
Imagine a space wolf eating pork and realizing that he was actually a slave who had a solution to war.
Make sure to wash the Tyranids first before eating them.
I feel like this effect is something the nids could really exploit.

The Mortifactors chapter have integrated this ability into their belief system. They practice cannibalism on a regular basis and in a ritualistic manner. In Warriors of Ultramar the Chapter Master basically forces Uriel Ventris to drink his blood infront of other Ultramarines to give him a glimpse at his visions of the future. Codex Astartes my ass, gotta love Mortifactors for the balls.
Space marine: I need to study for tomorrow's survival test and you look pretty knowledgeable right next.
So, technically, you could employ a space marine to confirm whether a steak was grass fed or not?
A possibility highly poisonous xeno out there: *"I dare you"*
Bloatfish xeno, must skinn while alive
Aren't most space marines immune to poisons/venoms
Imagine you are eating at a questionable burguer place and suddenly you get human memories after bitimg your hamburguer 💀
That'd be a horryfing way to find out what the menu was that day
Best case scenario of being interrogated by a space marine, you tell em what they want to know, and they give you a fast death.
They might eat you immediately after the fast death, just to confirm you were telling the truth.
Me: Becomes a lunchable.
Marine: Oh no not another ptsd.
“Brother, bring forth the ranch dressing!”
Some chapters, like the Dragon Spears, eat their dead simply to pass knowledge and experience to others, and that is arguably one of the more "wholesome" examples of this practice.
Also, sometimes the potency of the memories aquired varied depending on the chapter; like the Soul Drinkers, who got their name because they would also inherit some the subjects emotions associated with the memories, as if they also able to see into the subject's soul!!!
"gunna be ee-see-kaid" got me
“The sweet sensation of having both main dishes and desserts simultaneously… How sinister… How delightful…”
I love how this video implies that these characters are “connected directly from the stomach to the brain.” As if we aren’t already directly connected from our stomachs to our brains.
Shhhh youre not supposed to say that
Also, memories are stored in the brain not random places like your foot. Kids are smarter than whoever wrote this crap.
@@dangerfly Some memories are stored in other tissues and organs, such as the heart and stomach. That's why after heart surgery, the patient often takes on the habits and preferences of the doner.
@@user-yl7kl7sl1g "In his book TransplantNation Douglas Vincent suggests that atypical newfound memories, thoughts, emotions and preferences after an organ transplant are more suggestive of immunosuppressant drugs and the stress of surgery on perception than of legitimate memory transference."
@@user-yl7kl7sl1g the vagal nerve and symphatetic trunk innervates visceral organs, though isn't there a simpler explanation for this?, that a recipient might try to befriend their donor, cuz they litterally saved their lives (though for heart they're probably already ded, so idk, maybe they get it from the donor's relatives or indirect information of how one is like)?, friendship is the one that make them take a part of their personality?, there is also the stress of organ transplant that may creates an environment for such tales to exist?, but even if there might be an information storage transfer, theres also host rejection thing lol, and there is no big information systems to transfer, (something like the hopfield network might explain or partially ressemble how memories are actually stored/work)
And this doesn't explain/complicates total amnesia(the organ is fine, but how do we lose all the memory even though only the brain is damaged?) and personality changes, personality disorders etc. While nothing interventive is being done
And also wouldn't it be a bit dispersed if somehow my memories, preferences, and habits are at different organs(it's also a bit gruesome to think for a bad habit being possible to be dissected away lol)? And also this doesn't explain synthetic transplant (synthetic body parts) and nerve severing, (how can we keep that information while it's severed?, the implication is that do we lost some memories and personalities when we have an organ failure or an organ is injured?)
Plus all claims must be subjected to intense objective repeatability lol (if it can be repeated a ton of time, and double blinded as well, if it is not then it is not really provable and everything might as well be true), there is a test for what is true or not
"My memories doesn't define me be like",
Such things doesn't need to reflect reality, but it's values can still worm it's way into our everyday views, so always becareful with tales hahaha
And by the way if it is true, we can look into the system that stores that memory and modify it to our needs, we can have organic memory sticks hahaha, visceral organs are more reachable with drugs(doesn't have the blood brain barrier thing), we can create new medicine with this lol,
If it is this easy, we could forge our own personalities, want what we want, etc lol
Have a fulfilling day :3
(Cellular memory is contentious to say the least, though i'm more to fudamental information system than strictly biological or mechanical, so that such computronium is just the same to me, just that if true it is much less efficient than neuronal connections)
Basically an enhancement of the Vegas nerve system

Imagine biting into a hamburger and you suddenly gain the memories of the cow that was used to make the burger.
Honestly if space marines are knocking at your front door, you're probably already dead.
Imagine eating a “beef” sandwich and now you suddenly have PTSD 💀
I remember that there's a company in this universe that turns the deceased into food so that resources are not wasted.😂
They're marines, enemies are the most tasty crayons, makes sense.
With how insane animal practices are on agri worlds to feed the Imperium, a lot of marine indoctrination has to be not become flooded with cow memories after eating a steak. lol, might be why the Space Wolves went from vikings to wolf marines over the last 10k years.
Its also the lore my friend is using for his meme homebrew chapter. Went insane eating Norn Queen steak and have began their search for the biggest beasts to hunt and eat.
Nope, because memories & thoughts can only be recovered by eating the raw brain.
If it's cooked, it's value is reduced to dead calories.
@@SonsOfLorgar This. It's not like you can take a bite of some guys leg and suddenly gain tactical information out of him. They have to eat the brain, particularly the parts that have memories, and the brain can't have been too destroyed by, say, a bolter round. It also can't have decayed or rotted too much, or the information is gone.
@@SonsOfLorgar damn just annihilated the legitimacy of his novel, now it's all for nothing
@@Shvetsariorelax, no, he didn't. The organ is space magic. Canonically, an SM can gain memories off livers.
So, if anything, the memory reading ability is part psychic.
Good old Emprah was one of the greatest psychic minds, and he designed the gene-seed of the SM.
To return to the brain eating thing: if you eat the brains, or just plain more of the person, the memories gained become more accurate and last longer. That is it.
I still say someone should think of a Cajun Space Marine faction. Techpriests venerate machine oil, Cajun Marines venerate creole seasoning with any fresh crustacean-based xeno species.

“Now I know what plutonium looks like!”
If you're being interrogated by space marines it's too late. Give them the information they want and pray to the emperor for a swift death.
I wonder if an Astartes has ever sampled some corpse starch and just got flooded with memories
Corpse starch is specially treated and so thoroughly processed, it transmits nothing. It is utterly bland in every way.

@@BunniRabbi Conservatives don't have empathy. It's part of the definition.
In the novel "Eye of Terror" that practice was rather well described. When a Dark Angel, who just spent 10.000 years floating through space, finds out, that his "brother" (indeed a Fallen Angel) was lying about the past and what had happened during the Heresy, the Dark Angel rips off the other one's head, cracks the skull and munches his brain.

Attack on Titan: “we copied your idea, but better”
You forgot about the souldrinkers eat the chaos space marines gene seed. This can cause them to become blessed with chaotic gifts like bladed arms, bezerker rage, or a link to chaos so they can hunt it down. This often takes them over the edge to have to be killed by their chapter.
Mortarian does it to a Cultist leader who failed him and fled battle in the siege of Terra in “Garro: Knight in Grey”.
He wanted to see what the cultist was seeing when he fled an assault on a loyalist fortress which had an astartes present he mentions to Mortarian, so Mortarian pops his skull open with his bare hands and eats part of his brain. He witnesses the battle in a strange disjointed visual journey as he has “let it rot, let it rot, let it rot” whispered in his mind the entire time
even the Space Wolves use that ability to their advantage
Like Starfire, when she wants to learn another language, but instead of kissing people, she's biting their flesh off.
It’s about eating brains. I haven’t seen any example of this from anything other than their victims brain or gene seed and that’s only some astartes. Not all have that ability developed enough. It’s also been not retconned but like less and less mentioned after horus heresy
Yeah that's a pretty fail thing someone wrote which was probably meant to be a parody when the setting wasn't as serious
@@cosmictreason2242I get what you mean but "more serious" is still a veeery loose term in WH, and I don't exactly get why not getting memories from eating a finger is less serious than getting them, it's a stupid concept in general but the first seems more sane.
Did you say gene seed? Like cum?
Canonically any organ will do. The amount of flesh consumed is more important.
I mean... What do you think? Somehow there is a complex bio-computer in their stomachs that reads the chewed-up neurons mid-digestion?
It is just space sorcery.
What about eating the various xenos? I'd assume a Tau or Aeldari brain would give viable results, but what about a Ork or even a (shudder) Tyranid? Could eating a Nid just be a bad idea, or even a very very bad idea?
Wondering the same thing…like imagine they have a creature that can re-grow within the space marine overtime 😬
@@AbdoKhjGamingis imagine to do that for a space marine would be a lot harder thena normal person. remember they have a really good immune system and can barely be poisoned
Eating a Tyranid will kill you. There are so many microorganisms and hostile parts in a Tyranid that even thorough cooking and sterilization can't make them edible
@@noobatgames3321 Maybe not poisoned but exposed to the strong Hive wave.
