Also please reroute the food pipe to not use the air pipe

  • remove redundant form of hemoglobin

Ah yes let’s make the entire system vulnerable so a single attack vector can shutdown every node.

I'd like to reengineer the mosquito to draw blood samples, identify viruses, then create and spread vaccinations.

But feeling like I'm falling when I'm going to sleep is the only time I really feel alive...

  • regrow hair cells to mitigate hearing loss
  • (optional) eternal life and youth
[–] [email protected] 9 points 20 hours ago

Eternal life is p2w coming with season pass

These days it ain't looking like a bunch of us ought to live forever.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 16 hours ago

I'm glad I'm not the only one who has nightmares of slipping on ice and falling down stairs when I sleep. The kicks I do are annoying.

Could we also do something about the dark triad traits?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

I would absolutely go for 6 fingers. Preferably an additional thumb. Not to mention an additional joint in each. Let's go base 12!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 hours ago

6 fingers feature already in development, available to some users in PTR

I want my prehensile tail back, not this vestigial piece of SHIT!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

How do you picture it? Like a spider monkey, a fox, or like one of those hippopotamus's who helicopter chops their shit everywhere?

One sounds useful, one sounds cute, one sounds like your asserting dominance over unexpecting persons waiting in queue

[–] [email protected] 2 points 19 hours ago

I feel like different races would have different tails based on what's most useful to their environment.

I think "Patch this Bish" is kind of how we got to this point.

Mosquitos are not humanity though.

Humans do bioluminisce, it's just too weak for human eyes and most detectors.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 20 hours ago

TIL
Thanks for the link! This is really awesome.

A lot of Bioluminiscence, but Infrared light as almost in any living be, which we can't see without special devices.

Structural weakness not only in the lower back, but also in the knees. The human being still has many reminists of an quadruped, as one of the younger species. He still has a way to be optimized as bipedo. Lower back and knees are still not optimized for this, apart of some other static and organic problems. We are still in phase beta.

It's different from the blackbody radiation that body heat produces.

Evolution doesn't follow the rules of intelligent design anyhow. If they did, we would all be crabs.

Thank you, I came here to say the same thing. The problem isn't that we don't glow, it's the fact that our eyes suck.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

Also you are a flying squid and not a glowing squid, so its no wonder that we/you don't glow.

I speak as a human when I wear my human costume. That's exactly why I have this shirt:

Don't we have some of the best eyes in the entire animal kingdom except for birds?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 20 hours ago

"Best eyes"

Adjusts glasses

[–] [email protected] 4 points 22 hours ago

Not good enough obviously.
