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

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.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

Exercice helps but 3rd party tool are often still needed.

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.

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] 29 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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

  • Suffocation sensation is now tied to a lack of oxygen instead of an abundance of carbon dioxide.
[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago (5 children)

Would that fix our carbonmonoxide weakness?

  • separated genetalia from waste systems

  • adjusted mental pathways to better adapt to modern environment

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago

What's the laryngeal nerve and what's wrong with it?

[–] prettybunnys 3 points 1 day ago

Let’s also reroute the ulnar nerve, thx

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

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

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] 11 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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

  • Eating and breathing pathways no longer intersect. This should prevent the bug when food could block the airway and result in death.
[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 day 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.

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

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.

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

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.

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 25 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Apparently a lot of males are still in alpha.

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.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I'd like to add depression and anxiety to fixing ADHD as an individual can exhibit all three.

This can be split into several patches if necessary.

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

[–] kopasz7 18 points 1 day ago

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

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