Hmm, I don’t think they would die without hugs or communication. Nothing in the link exactly says they would die too, aside from some questionable sources from hundreds of years ago.
A human body would be able to biologically survive without hugs and communication (or even higher brain function honestly if you manage it properly).
Yes, my last attempt was before putting the PC together, now I might want to swap the motherboard soon, which is why I want to know how to take the CPU out (cause last time I tried, I faced the issue I described).
Isn’t it water that basically turned to vapor and then back? That should get rid of most minerals.
