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.

[–] [email protected] 33 points 2 months ago (1 children)

You're just supposed to bite that bit off. Otherwise it's just going to keep happening.

  • 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

added ability to change biological sex

PLEASE

[–] [email protected] 20 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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.

I like baldness and body hair! They should be optional too

-cartilage in joints can regenerate

-body can synthesize its own vitamin c

Other species already do these things smh.

[–] phdepressed 16 points 2 months ago

We used to do the vitamin c but then were like its too easy to get elsewhere why bother.

  • Eating and breathing pathways no longer intersect. This should prevent the bug when food could block the airway and result in death.
[–] [email protected] 24 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, it's crazy to me that people believe we were "intelligently designed" when our food hole and breathing hole are so close that we can only use one at a time, and that our waste dumping grounds are right next to the amusement park.

This is actually a result of changes to our larynx and stuff, which allows us to make such a variety of sounds when speaking. In other animals (and human babies), the air and food tubes are physically separated at rest. But in humans, our epiglottis can't properly keep things separate because our larynx is further down in our throat.

So, I'm gonna have to deny this request on the grounds that it will necessarily break the speech feature, which many of our users depend on heavily.

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.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 months ago

Just divide at a cellular level, nature has already solved this problem! Upstart life forms these days thinking they can reinvent the wheel.

2.0? Bruh, humans are still on pre-v1 beta

Frankly, I don't know how anyone can look at the absolute shit show that is the human body and go "yup, this was totally intelligently designed"

[–] captain_aggravated 26 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Apparently a lot of males are still in alpha.

Ahem... maybe new players forgot this, but humans have been bioluminescent since the oxygenic respiration patch ages ago.

I would have thought eating and breathing from the same hole would have been in this release 😞 guess I'll just have to wait till 3.0

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Wait, you can't eat and breathe through the same hole?

Add new receptors to be able to feel wetness.
This is it cold or wet thing we have going on is just crappy design.

If teeth regenerate, do we have to constantly chew on things like rodents? Or is it an as-needed thing?

No, you just get a new set growing in the gums.

That’s going to take some time, it’s a kernel bug.

Can we also fix the depression glitch where happiness points aren't collected and your brain energy bar depleats completely with no way of regeneration without hacking the brain with 3rd party tool antidepressants.

I’d like someone to at least look into the whole ADHD thing. It’s been going on for some time now without any word on why it’s there, or what it’s for- and aside from funny and relatable memes, it’s yet to provide any positive results.

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.

Can we rather make the kernel more stable before we change the design? These instabilities cause the whole process to hang itself up or terminate FAR to often!

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.

We require too much power for it to suffice alone, but it would be nice to have as a hybrid source of energy!

[–] ryedaft 10 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Someone did the math for photosynthetic cows and they would only get about 1% of their energy requirement. It's not viable.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 months ago

Cows farm out their photosynthesis to things that have far more surface area than they do.
