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

Could we also do something about the dark triad traits?
Olhonestjim@lemmy.world 1 year 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 year ago
6 fingers feature already in development, available to some users in PTR

- remove redundant form of hemoglobin
Ah yes let’s make the entire system vulnerable so a single attack vector can shutdown every node.

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

How do you picture it? Like a spider monkey, a fox, or like on of those hippopotamus’s who helicopters chops their shit everywhere?

How can one fix mosquitos in humans?

just slap them on the humans

When are the rest of you going to get the magenta receptor update?

Humans do bioluminisce, it’s just too weak for human eyes and most detectors.
Zerush@lemmy.ml 1 year 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.

Thanks for the link! This is really awesome.FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 year 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.
CheeseNoodle@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Don’t we have some of the best eyes in the entire animal kingdom except for birds?
cows_are_underrated@feddit.org 1 year ago
Also you are a flying squid and not a glowing squid, so its no wonder that we/you don’t glow.

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.
prettybunnys@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
They just need to eliminate diminishing returns that they introduced back in the beta.
UnrepententProcrastinator@lemmy.ca 1 year ago
Exercice helps but 3rd party tool are often still needed.

- Suffocation sensation is now tied to a lack of oxygen instead of an abundance of carbon dioxide.
Hoimo@ani.social 1 year ago
Would that fix our carbonmonoxide weakness?
JackbyDev@programming.dev 1 year ago
It wouldn’t make carbon monoxide less poisonous to us, but depending on how sensitive the sensation of suffocation is made it would help us realize something is wrong and maybe even eliminate the need for carbon monoxide detectors.
Carbon monoxide isn’t only dangerous because it’s not oxygen, but because it disrupts our blood’s normal process of absorbing oxygen and expelling carbon dioxide. My laymen understanding is that it sort of jams the door lol. As opposed to things like nitrogen which merely gets in the way but don’t disrupt the process.
Meowstermind@slrpnk.net 1 year ago
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.

The engineer solution: back to egg laying, which also fixes menstruation
LifeInMultipleChoice@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 year ago
Agreed, that shits rough on people. Impacts of teeth and post partem. 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.

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

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.
LifeInMultipleChoice@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 year 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.
TheSlad@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
Am I weird in that I actually like the hypnic jerk feeling? It doesnt happen often to me, maybe once every few months. I also like bedspins, used to get them every night as a child/teen. though they rarely happen anymore. It was like my own personal rollercoaster ride!
chonglibloodsport@lemmy.world 1 year ago
You say that now but wait till you’re sleeping in a tree (to escape the dinosaurs) and start to fall and there’s nothing to wake you! Then you’ll be sorry you wished away that “glitch!”

Add new receptors to be able to feel wetness.
This is it cold or wet thing we have going on is just crappy design.aaa@lemmy.sdf.org 1 year ago

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

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.

What about symbiosis with algae
ryedaft@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
Someone did the math for photosynthetic cows and they would only get about 1% of their energy requirement. It’s not viable.
LovableSidekick@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I remember a college conversation with a bio major when I said I wished we could just eliminate mosquitos. She said if there were no mosquitoes it would be disastrous because some other thing eats them that gets eaten by some other thing, I don’t remember the details, but essentially it would destroy the whole food chain. I couldn’t help thinking that these bugs etc. would probably eat something else because you know, they would be hungry. Just two students with a little knowledge thinking they could conclusively analyze the world. And new here’s social media.

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 memes, it’s yet to provide any positive results.
Aqarius@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Or, like, at least a caffeine gland or something.
mdd@lemm.ee 1 year ago
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.
WrenFeathers@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Absolutely! I just figured that for many, addressing the one will help the others, but yeah… they are their own bugs unto themselves for a lot of people.

Saltwater consumption when???

It’ll be fixed when we starting storing element counts as 64-bit integers (instead of 32-bit).

Oh the old 2038 problem. Got it.
But we need something v2.0 times as good as that, so like v4072.00 if my calculations are correct.
