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.

  • regrow hair cells to mitigate hearing loss
  • (optional) eternal life and youth

Eternal life is p2w coming with season pass

[-] Olhonestjim@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

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

[-] Olhonestjim@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

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

[-] lightnsfw@reddthat.com 3 points 1 day ago

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

[-] Furbag@lemmy.world 17 points 1 day ago

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

[-] LifeInMultipleChoice@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

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

[-] Manalith@midwest.social 2 points 1 day ago

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

[-] Phoenicianpirate@lemm.ee 1 points 1 day 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.

[-] Olhonestjim@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Could we also do something about the dark triad traits?

[-] Olhonestjim@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

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

[-] gari_9812@lemmy.world 1 points 12 hours ago

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

[-] T156@lemmy.world 34 points 2 days ago

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

[-] Zacryon@feddit.org 3 points 1 day ago

TIL
Thanks for the link! This is really awesome.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

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.

[-] cows_are_underrated@feddit.org 4 points 1 day ago

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

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

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

[-] CheeseNoodle@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

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

[-] Ghosthacked@lemm.ee 5 points 1 day ago

"Best eyes"

Adjusts glasses

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

Not good enough obviously.

[-] Zerush@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 day ago

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.

[-] Zerush@lemmy.ml 1 points 4 hours ago

Infrarojo is different from light visible only by wavelength and energy.

Nothing to do with intelligent design, evolution is a self -regulating process due to environmental conditions. Given that the life of a human being is relatively long, naturally last generational evolutionary changes in a very complex organism, due to viable positive genetic variations, where a 99.99% is not, much longer until optimization. Somewhat more than 2 millon years isn't enough for this, less with continuous changes in the environment and conditions. Simple organism with a short life cycle can optimize in days, but complex organism like humans can't. Other beings have needed hundreds of millions of years for a perfect body, but with the price of already have the veto of evolving more. After perfection there can only be decay.

[-] Majorllama@lemmy.world 160 points 2 days ago

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.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

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.

Mosquitos are not humanity though.

[-] bluewing@lemm.ee 1 points 1 day ago

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