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

added ability to change biological sex

PLEASE

[–] idiomaddict@lemmy.world 14 points 2 days ago (1 children)

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

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.

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.

Agreed, that shits rough on people. Impacts of teeth and post-partum. 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.

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.

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.

  • Eating and breathing pathways no longer intersect. This should prevent the bug when food could block the airway and result in death.
[–] scops@reddthat.com 21 points 2 days 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.

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

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

[–] cm0002@lemmy.world 40 points 2 days ago (2 children)

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@sh.itjust.works 26 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Apparently a lot of males are still in alpha.

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

[–] kopasz7@sh.itjust.works 17 points 2 days ago

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

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.

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.

[–] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 27 points 2 days ago (3 children)

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

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.

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

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!
