So? Photography is fun. My photos don’t exist until I take them.

Are you stupid?

It’s a gif of Data from TNG saying “Do you consider your position so weak that it cannot withstand a debate?”

Oh, I did a dumb. Capacitive readers use the body’s natural electrical signal to form an image of your fingerprint. You can trick them by using something conductive and running the right amount of electricity through.

Dead people don’t work though. Not for very long at least.

Your body doesn’t all die at once. The parts that need a constant flow of oxygen die within minutes, while some parts take hours. Tissues like skin, tendons and heart valves are viable for harvest for as long as 48 hours after death.

I don’t know how long a fingerprint would work after death though. I imagine it depends on the type of scanner. An optical scanner would probably not care. I’m not sure about ultrasonic. Thermal and capacitive would probably stop working within minutes of death.

Horse hearts are massive compared to human hearts. They would just die.

Then don’t read Windows news.

Ukraine has been recognized as its own country since 1991.
