They are forgetting that TERRIBLE design choice where if you accidentally bite the inside of your cheek it swells up making it easier to bite it on accident again and again.
on accident
Rather than by purpose? #54%
I’m a masochist but I have my limits. Lol
I think they’re calling you out on saying “on accident” rather than “by accident”
Are both not acceptable ways of typing that out? I know I’m bad at punctuation, grammar and spelling, but I thought you could say you did something on accident or by accident interchangeably.
Nope, it’s just by accident. Must be a certain demographic that seems to have fallen into the habit of saying it as I never hear people use “on” in real life.

Apparently “on accident” has been gaining usage and “by accident” is generally used by the older generations.
I’m 93 so I don’t know where I picked up “on accident” but until this day I haven’t had anyone say anything. How interesting.
Must be just an American thing? I never hear anyone say it here!
Also, could you be on of Lemmy’s oldest users?!
You’re just supposed to bite that bit off. Otherwise it’s just going to keep happening.
Instructions unclear, but I can now drink through a straw without opening my mouth
There’s also the weird decision to put a bunch of easily-bruised bones in your butt which would normally be used for a tail.
I once had a creationist defend the coccyx as being necessary for keeping muscles together. That was fun.
photosynthesis?
We require too much power for it to suffice alone, but it would be nice to have as a hybrid source of energy!
Old Man’s War by Scalzi
What about symbiosis with algae
It’d be nice to have one big leaf on my back that I could use for shade and a snack. Doubles as an umbrella for rain.
Have you considered just carrying a big leaf around?
Looks like the caterpillars have found their way to Lemmy…
Someone did the math for photosynthetic cows and they would only get about 1% of their energy requirement. It’s not viable.
Cows farm out their photosynthesis to things that have far more surface area than they do.
Overly sarcastic productions is one of my favorite YouTube channels.
Give it a go!
When are the rest of you going to get the magenta receptor update?
I would absolutely go for 6 fingers. Preferably an additional thumb. Not to mention an additional joint in each. Let’s go base 12!
6 fingers feature already in development, available to some users in PTR
Ahem… maybe new players forgot this, but humans have been bioluminescent since the oxygenic respiration patch ages ago.

I want to know at what wavelengths. Did I miss it?
It bugs me that they say ‘it’s not infrared - it’s photons!’ (paraphrasing).
Its not clear to me either, but since they said visible, my guesses would be 680 nanometers or 490 nanometers, because, well, hydrogen.
The paper (which is very short) said 500-700nm and referenced an older (1997) paper that reported on a bunch of UV and visual emitting living systems. I looked there but didn’t pinpoint an answer. It did mention that the emission doesn’t usually have sharp peaks (as the reason they trade spectral resolution for sensitivity). It seems like the emitting molecules are large, so it’s probably pretty broad.
Anyway… that made me nice and sleepy.
We need to have some process engineers look at the pregnancy and birthing process, there’s much room for improvement. Maybe take a totally new approach to it, it’s just not it.
Just divide at a cellular level, nature has already solved this problem! Upstart life forms these days thinking they can reinvent the wheel.
The engineer solution: back to egg laying, which also fixes menstruation
Agreed, that shits rough on people. Impacts of teeth and post-partum. Yet a funny thing there is that we can tell you down to the day you were impregnated by the growth of the fetus.
Next person. Sir drink this stuff to make you shit your brains out and I’m going to shove my finger in your ass to see if we can get a scope of what your insides are like.
I’d like to request a bug fix: Eyelashes falling into eyeball. Need to fix the physics so they probably spring away or wash out easier.
Maybe just not fall out. Let’s just add a user creetion set-up like a video game. Choose sex, height, weight, legs arms blah blah blah.
Some people would spend 3 hours every morning changing their look, others would always look the same. Some people would be swapping mid activities.
If me in computer games that allow character alteration in game is any guide I would be re-speccing myself daily sometimes until I find a look that’s right then sticking to that for ages
But feeling like I’m falling when I’m going to sleep is the only time I really feel alive…
A. Add infrared vision to prevent burns.
And x~gamma ray to prevent nuclear radiation burns.
And some electromagnetic field sensors to prevent magnets from ‘being magic’.
Sorry no on the last one EMF research conclusively shows that magnets ARE magic. smh
Technically every warm blooded organism is bioluminescent.
These are the sort of genetic engineering/eugenists I want to see. None of that “deleting gay gene” or “breeding smart people” pseudo science garbage.
I think life would be a little better if we cranked up the gay gene. Y’all know how to party.
I thought you had to put something in the water for that?
That only makes the frickin frogs gay.
Make everyone pansexual. It would simplify a lot of things.
All eugenics is pseudoscience garbage.
In that case, let’s all marry our cousins and brothers!
That’s not eugenics.
It’s selective breeding to get certain genetic qualities, which is the definition of eugenics
It’s avoiding bad outcomes. Babies from closely related people often have problems. Practically every culture has a method of avoiding close relatives breeding
Eugenics is about breeding for desirable qualities, a eugenicist’s ideal person still couldn’t make good kids with a close relative
Avoiding bad genetics is desirable. Just because it’s normal doesn’t mean it isn’t eugenics
-
separated genetalia from waste systems
-
removed body hair and baldness
-
fixed acne glitch
-
added ability to change biological sex, with default neutral configuration
-
rerouted laryngeal nerve
-
uterus lining is now reabsorbed automatically
-
reinforced spine and knees
-
simplified foot structure
-
adjusted mental pathways to better adapt to modern environment
i’m not sure i want to know what the first point would look like, moving either the genitals or the anus sounds horrifying, and i especially don’t want to imagine where penis wielders would urinate or ejaculate from if those functions are separated…
…perhaps we’d do like octopi, reach under and fetch a sperm package that we present instead of a wedding ring? Or maybe let’s just leave it like it is and not create horrors.
Just have us piss from asshole
I do that already :(
Eat some banana
Are bananas known to help that or something?? I try to eat enough veggies but it still happens. Weirdly sometimes when I eat less veggies it sometimes gets better (but it also sometimes gets worse).
Honestly not sure, but I remember grandma giving me eat banana when I had wet poop to supposedly help
Stop eating whatever is messing with your guts
Ur an alcoholic
Edit: or maybe a vegan, idk. I’m an alcoholic so I calls em like I sees em
My GI tract unfortunately just hates me I think!
Since you mentioned that, we should add a auto-sober switch. Suspend drunk button for drive home. Resume until bed, clear drunk as soon as you pass out so you can get a good nights rest.
Birds had it right all along with one waste exit.
Turn standing while peeing into an actual skill.
Tfw you accidentally poop in urinal
For some reason when I read this I read “Reticulating Splines” instead of reinforced spines. I was like wow random sims reference.
I like baldness and body hair! They should be optional too
Smooth on top, rugged in the middle
added ability to change biological sex
PLEASE
What’s the laryngeal nerve and what’s wrong with it?
Iirc it goes down your neck, makes a 180 around an artery at the height of the breasts and goes up your neck again.
I’d like to be able to alter body hair density based on climate.
Reabsorption of uterine lining is called being “in heat” in dogs and cats. It’s quite common in the animal world, and it makes all the males very rapey.
One of the prevailing theories about why humans pair bond is our males can’t tell when our females are ovulating/menstruating so it’s advantageous to be kinder and stick around for more sex.
TL;DR: I think that’s not a great idea.
Interesting, didn’t know those two things were linked.
Let’s also reroute the ulnar nerve, thx
Remove hangovers
-
Add new receptors to be able to feel wetness.
This is it cold or wet thing we have going on is just crappy design.Could we also do something about the dark triad traits?
