How does liquid retain knowledge? By drinking the predecessor, that knowledge should transfer to the next king, which is why they are able to recall all previous kings.
@nguyenduythang7598 Nope, the head research went back on the results, and other attempts to recreate the experiment have failed. So the results were likely due to a error in the original
By that line of logic doesn’t that mean since fry cannot be drunk, the knowledge of all kings prior to fry is immediately destroyed when he mistakenly drinks the king? Since humans do not retain information that way he destroyed their history with a few sips
It’s funnier when you realize this is the equivalent of finding out the president is bullshit when you try to assassinate him Like… those assassins may have thought they were trying to kill a super man.
Even more impressive that Fry shrugged off assassination attempts and didn't even pay it no mind. Like imagine you try to shoot someone in the head and they just kind of wave you off and don't even look in your direction.
@@heatherweir8726 getting shot and continuing to do the speech isn't as powerful. roosevelt still showed pain, even if the shot was unlucky. what fry did is the equivalent of jfk getting headshotted but the bullet just bouncing off his head
And then the alien looks at you with slightly confused like “was that supposed to be disrespectful? Or is this a little game they play to show fondness?”
@@richardarriaga6271 I think it could be a while before they bring out the pointy stick because, to them, the pointy stick does does harm them, but only to the degree of their outer casing being scratched. I think they would bust out a water-gun first, and then a computer virus
I read a really cool story where a Wizard girl was cursed. She couldn't speak, but all the words she DID want to speak would temporarily show up on her arms.
Pro-tip: do not get stuck on a deserted island with him. He will eat you out of utilitarian concerns, especially if he deems you less useful to society.
Decent theory. I also like the possibility that they all knew he was cheating but they all knew he would be easy to kill cause he was so clearly stupid. So they were all waiting for their chance to drink his blood and become emporer
Yeap. Trisolarians didn't understand lying, because their form of communication was 100% physical, rippling and changing of the brain/body. They also passed down memories when breeding, and as an inverse to futurama, they were able to dehydrate themselves into stasis.
Arguably writing something on oneself is a form of remembering in itself. Humans consider it cheating when the purpose is mental memorization but writing is a more precise often more permanent form of memory.
@The1stImmortal writing eminates from the mental. Without your mind, you would not function thus, intergenerational memory must begin with the mind otherwise it would be incoherent, illegible and unable to satisfy the requirement for written expression.
@@The1stImmortal🙄 Memory is mental. Writing it down is refered to as recording. That's where the term "recorded history" comes from. It's not "memorized history". In fact memorizing something is recording it in your mind. Therefore, memorizing is a form of recording, not the other way around.
I don't think the futurama guys actually intended this. I think in the context of the episode you're just supposed to assume they didn't see and someone came up with this theory later
I just figured it was because everyone knew he was going to be assassinated shortly anyway, considering they already had spots in the hall of portraits for fry’s assassin and fry’s assassin’s assassin.
That reference is even more smarter than you think as this is a reference to the three body problem where the triosolarians don’t understand that humans can lie.
@@abcron3788 did you watch the episode? We see them slam themselves against the wall and burst then reform. We see them turn into puddles. We see them go into bottels and shit
That'll be pretty amazing if words appear on your skin from memory The pigmentation octopus and alike carry Would be the ink and if you can shift the pigmentation right you'll have the words appear Controlling tge ink pattern would take time tho just like writing
forget the fact that fry was delivering a Sign to the trisolians, which was to be placed next to dozens of other signs in various languages, they certainly knew what the written word was. Also their undoing? no one died and they got their king back, they "won"
That's a terrible hypothesis. They were able to use signs. They literally made an interstellar order for a sign. They understand written language and the materials it is written on.
That made me wonder why Leela was so worried about Fry. The only assassination method they know is drinking their opponent, which would literally do nothing to a human. They'd probably end up thinking he was immortal or something, haha
There’s a good line where Leela tells Fry he shouldn’t have drunk the king as it could’ve been poison and he said something like odds were equally likely that he was a king and it sounds dumb but it’s true. I think this line here got me really into statistics 😅
"This was their undoing?" What? What do you mean "their undoing." What "undoing?" Infact, them being liquid was a blessing for them in the end because it meant the former and soon-after current emperor would be able to survive in Fry's solid body, with the episode ending with Fry crying the previous emperor out of his body and everything being resolved. There was no "undoing" outside of "undoing" the assassination of the previous emperor.
I figured they just didn't care, and were simply waiting to kill and eat him. But this makes a lot of sense, so I choose to believe this explanation now.
The fact that they tried to drinking through a straw is kind of funny
I love the fact that they accepted fry as a completely different species yet attempted the same type of assassination to do away with him
@@dragonmanover9000if it’s worked before why not again 😂
@@dragonmanover9000 I mean, the first weapon you would use against an invading alien would probably be a gun, regardless of how effective it was

@@biohazard0482 I will try using a straw to see if they got the reference.
How does liquid retain knowledge? By drinking the predecessor, that knowledge should transfer to the next king, which is why they are able to recall all previous kings.
That is deep but it depends on the structure of the being
kinda weird but scientist do make a research for it and find out liquid store memory and maybe even emotion

I'm drunk right now
Hey, I plan to have a few brewskies myself.
@@gr33ntheory21no, I mean they were assassinated! Can’t you see your in terrible danger?
You're*. Also great lines.
imagine that guys reaction after trying to drink him like "what the fuck....... can......CAN HE NOT BE DRANK!?"
That'd what I thought lmao 😂
I never thought of it but that's damn hilarious
Fry is probably an eldritch horror to that guy
That's like stabbing a guy but his body morphs around it, and the guy you're stabbing doesn't feel it at all.
It’s funnier when you realize this is the equivalent of finding out the president is bullshit when you try to assassinate him
Like… those assassins may have thought they were trying to kill a super man.
The greatest power move is showing that you can't be assassinated no matter what they try
Even more impressive that Fry shrugged off assassination attempts and didn't even pay it no mind. Like imagine you try to shoot someone in the head and they just kind of wave you off and don't even look in your direction.
Not quit the same but Theodore Roosevelt. Was shot but still did a speech.

@@blikthepro972well he then locked the would be assassin after his speech.
I mean, I'd figure extreme heat would probably work.
Him trying to drink fry is the equivalent of us shooting an alien and the bullet bouncing off of them, lol
More like us trying bite/eat an alien, and their body mass/matter just moves safely aside
And then the alien looks at you with slightly confused like “was that supposed to be disrespectful? Or is this a little game they play to show fondness?”
Or the equivalent of bombarding a human with a magnetic field when there is no metal in them. Would freak a robot out til they got a pointy stick.

@@pedrosso0 its a dr who thing from like a decade ago.

@@DamienDarksidewhat is that, a Light Novel or something? Or just some random story off the internet. The concept sounds interesting.
"You are not doing it wrong if no one knows what you are doing."
They mostly allowed him to do it because they thought they could easily replace him.
yeah exactly
“Their lack of understanding regarding humans was their undoing”. Man, the Trisolarisns cannot catch a break
I always thought they were chill with it because they knew a fry was not going to be the emperor for long.
I wonder how much of an influence this episode played on Cixin Liu when he was writing the Three Body Problem.
I wrote the exact same thing
Pro-tip: do not get stuck on a deserted island with him. He will eat you out of utilitarian concerns, especially if he deems you less useful to society.
Wait! This episode predates three body problem?
three suns, tri-sol
It's not that deep, just a coincidence
@@syndromeofadowns yeah Three Body was first published in 2008 and didn't get an English translation until 2014, this episode was released in 1999
It's funny that the Trisolarens in Futurama and in The Three Body Problem both don't know the concept of deception
Also noticed a connection between them being made out of liquid, and "DEHYDRATE!" in the book.
Decent theory. I also like the possibility that they all knew he was cheating but they all knew he would be easy to kill cause he was so clearly stupid. So they were all waiting for their chance to drink his blood and become emporer
I forgot about these guys.... This is kinda like the trisolarins from the three body problem... Crazy... This is so crazy
I had to do a double take when i heard trisolars
Yeap. Trisolarians didn't understand lying, because their form of communication was 100% physical, rippling and changing of the brain/body. They also passed down memories when breeding, and as an inverse to futurama, they were able to dehydrate themselves into stasis.
Same
Fucking thank you
Oh no
This gonna be stuck in my head during the reread
They do seem weirdly accurate to the sparse details about the trisolarans we get
First time i hear this argument and it kinda make Sense 🤔
"having words appear on his skin is how his species recalls their memories"
Well technically that is how books work so... Same same
they don't understand how humans work, but at the same time they have a giant blender to separate the liquids from the solid pulp
Maybe its food equipment, like an orange juicer
Arguably writing something on oneself is a form of remembering in itself. Humans consider it cheating when the purpose is mental memorization but writing is a more precise often more permanent form of memory.
All memorization is mental
@@kahariecharles3376 not necessarily. Intergenerational memory is often written in some form. You're just focusing on one kind of memory.

It also helps remember remember too, even if you can't find the document you wrote
Trisolians... Trisolarans... Is Three Body Problem a Futurama story!?
Now this is the hard hitting journalism we needed
Zoidberg offering to spin fry is the darkest joke in this episode imo.
Which is why futurama is one of the best cartoons in existance.
The writers on futurerama put more thought into their sci fi stories than Disney star wars
I don't think the futurama guys actually intended this. I think in the context of the episode you're just supposed to assume they didn't see and someone came up with this theory later
They try to kill him with a straw
What isn't that canibalisim
Yes
That is infact just a thing with the species
Yes
they still had a understanding of writing and we know this because they wrote a book with all the oath (if I recall)
Its probably not technically against the rules because how do you write on a liquid
Finally this makes more sense, I accept this without any follow up questions
Emphasizing how different the species are by showing the royal harem scene was hilarious choice
I didn’t even realize that. Just another reason why Futurama is a deep show
I just figured it was because everyone knew he was going to be assassinated shortly anyway, considering they already had spots in the hall of portraits for fry’s assassin and fry’s assassin’s assassin.
in other tv show I'd think this is bullshit but this kind of logic I would actually expect from futurama
You're making a positive impact through your videos.
That reference is even more smarter than you think as this is a reference to the three body problem where the triosolarians don’t understand that humans can lie.
Harvard didn’t reject him, he rejected Harvard
Lol, didn’t know they had a 3-body-problem episode on this show, incredible book series
And they said Rick and Morty's humor can only be appreciated by the gifted... Look at Futurama
Imagine trying to assassinate someone and they just brush it off like nothing even happened
It was literally just them not studying into humans
For a few moments I thought that Futurama had done a Three Body Problem reference.
Futurama is ahead of its time till this day
I love this explanation thank you!
The straw bit still cracks me up.
Ninja Art - Liquid Memory!!
The coronation starts anywhere from the end of the previous one to 8 days later. They spend their lives coronating for most of a day.
Omg I had no idea this was a Three Body Problem parody!! Wow!
"Pardon me a moment while I access my auxiliary memory organ..."
Better question why do they have knife weapons when i doubt that would work on liquid beings
Liquids can't hold a fixed shape unlike these aliens, so a knife can probably hurt them
@@abcron3788 did you watch the episode? We see them slam themselves against the wall and burst then reform. We see them turn into puddles. We see them go into bottels and shit
@@lazarussolomon3541 No, I haven't, and nevermind then
@@lazarussolomon3541 : Hmm... _are their knives made of soap?_
They would probably think tattoos are a core memory
They move to execute him the next episode
Only because they realized the last Emperor was still alive inside him.
Or, because they are so ruthless, no one wanted to be the first to question?
Then came the droplet ships...
Dude, having writing up here on your skin to relive some of your memories. Sounds like a dope power for humans
Silly 3 Body Problem reference
Trisolaris gang represent
That'll be pretty amazing if words appear on your skin from memory
The pigmentation octopus and alike carry
Would be the ink and if you can shift the pigmentation right you'll have the words appear
Controlling tge ink pattern would take time tho just like writing
Not technologically advanced but still can still receive packages via space freight
forget the fact that fry was delivering a Sign to the trisolians, which was to be placed next to dozens of other signs in various languages, they certainly knew what the written word was. Also their undoing? no one died and they got their king back, they "won"
Also, the probably didn't care because they were just going to kill him to crown a new king.
You're overthinking it. They were just going to kill him right away, like all the ones before.
I just assumed if they were going to assassinate him anyway they might as well let him bebthe emperor.
The illumination or their last ruler was Fry's undoing.
Just like the Trisolarans in The Three Body Problem. I don’t know if that is a reference, but its a damn good one
Domain Expansion: Monkey zone
The futurama writers: ah yea sure
That's a terrible hypothesis. They were able to use signs. They literally made an interstellar order for a sign. They understand written language and the materials it is written on.
Anyone realize the episode name is a reference to an old TV show my 3 sons
Also, they planned on him being assassinated quickly anyways, so any issue with him cheating would be solved quickly anyways.
THIS IS WHY YOU HAVE SEVERAL PHDS ON YOUR WRITING STAFF!!!
The horizon of expectations
You're really reading into this a little more than you need to.
Limammo all of Three Body Problem is a futurama reference
Wow dang that's eye opening
I consider myself to be a pretty big fan of the show. Thats a fantastic observation
That's brilliant. I never put that much thought into it lol.
That made me wonder why Leela was so worried about Fry. The only assassination method they know is drinking their opponent, which would literally do nothing to a human. They'd probably end up thinking he was immortal or something, haha
Wouldn't put it past the Futurama team to have hit that nail right on the shiny bit
Kind of funny he tried to drink him since we are made up of so much water 😂😂😂
*The Sheer Drip*
Never thought of this episode this way I just thought ha fry drank bottle of water now is ruler
One is a Meatbag and the other is a liquid.*
bro is talking about a bunch of water people who had a sign up telling everyone not to drink the emperor that Fry didn't read
The veneer is starting to peel!
I always thought it was interesting how they based this species off the trisolarins of the remembrance of earths past series
I’m more interested in being reminded of the Trisolarians from _Remembrance of Earth’s Past_
So they are cannibals
VERY MUCH. The crown was passed down to whoever consumed the previous king, Fry thought it was a water bottle when he drank the king.
Cannibalism is how they chose the next emperor
Never thought of it this way
This episode is funny af
They also may not read English. So he was just looking at his arm.
There’s a good line where Leela tells Fry he shouldn’t have drunk the king as it could’ve been poison and he said something like odds were equally likely that he was a king and it sounds dumb but it’s true. I think this line here got me really into statistics 😅
