"Would you still love me if I was a worm" (hexbear.net)

Smart man: "of course babe"

Me: "wait in this hypothetical were you always a worm or like turned into a worm by a wizard or something? Cuz in the first scenario I doubt we'd ever meet, unless I was also a worm. In the second scenario, would you have the cognitive abilities of a worm or would you retain human sapience somehow, even though that's not physiologically possible as a worm. If the former, would you really still be you, materially speaking? You've been reduced to the brain function of a worm, I'd say as a human you're functionally dead."

Anyway I'm sleeping on the couch tonight.

I flubbed this one up yesterday, saying I'd water them from when they'd escape and almost turn into jerky. My partner, "Are you saying I'd be a dumb worm?"

"Are you saying I'd be a dumb worm?"

"Well babe you'd literally have a worm's brain, so you'd be totally incapable of higher thought. You'd be a being of pure instinct not really capable of 'intelligence' as we humans conceptualize... why are you crying?"
