Transplanted Kidney Retains Donor's Schedule Tech Support Joke
My friend/kidney recipient is doing very well, but noticed she was going to the bathroom at night a lot. She asked her doctors, and it turns out her new kidney is still operating on *my* schedule. How does that even work????? Bio-memory????
Dialogue
Overview
This image is a screenshot of two public X (formerly Twitter) posts. The first post is from user timothy faust @crulge, who donated a kidney to his friend. He shares that the transplant was successful, but the recipient has been having frequent nighttime bathroom trips. Doctors determined the donated kidney is still operating on the donor's original urination schedule, and he questions if this is a case of biological memory. The second reply post from user Jaap Stronks @jaapstronks makes an absurd humorous analogy comparing the donated kidney to a digital device logged into the donor's account, advising him to log out of the kidney via account security settings and enable two-factor authentication, as one would do for a shared online account. The humor comes from comparing a biological organ to digital technology, drawing a parallel between human biology and digital device behavior.
Origin notes
This meme originated as viral public posts on the X (Twitter) platform. It was later reposted as a meme to the Reddit Meme subreddit, distributed via RSS feed, with the post title 'Humans and robot are more similar than they looked' referencing the parallel drawn between human biological function and digital device behavior in the joke.
