Redesign the spine for vertical use. Don't put the eating and breathing tubes on either side of the same flap.
We should have tons of little breathing holes all over.
Imagine if no one snored?
While you can create spiracles that repel polar substances like water, you cannot protect them against surfactant like soap. No more showers unless you want to drown.
So you're saying I can kill a fly with some soap spray.
Wasps too? Those fuckers.
You can waterboard them with it. If you want to effectively kill them, I'd recommend using the tried and true neurotoxin option sold at your local grocery store. You can be your own Saddam Hussein without having to hide in the most random places after committing your war crimes.
Wasps, definitely, and it does basically suffocate them. We use a water, dish soap, and peppermint mix on paper wasp nests that form in our eaves.
Never mind snoring, imagine how bad a cold would be!
Yeah but we would have probably made weird body suits to deal with that by now if it were that big a deal.
We're really, really bad at preventing problems, but were the best problem solvers we've ever found.
Seems just about every other animal is great at preventing problems. We're the opposite.
So we'd have to be naked to breath at full capacity?
Not necessarily. I'm far from sold on the idea, but lungs are able to take in enough oxygen to hyperventilate easily, clothes would reduce the maximum air intake to some extent, but from l full capacity would be max you need to breathe to max out your muscles - everything past that would be excess capacity
If we're going for redundancy and throughput, clothes probably would be more useful as a filter than being a limiter (and filtration is why I'm not on board with this design)
Yes, food hole and air hole should be separate
