We are bioluminescent, though.
The real problem is our vision is too shit to detect it.
Glow on, beautiful people!

Welcome to /c/Tumblr
All the chaos of Tumblr, without actually going to Tumblr.
Rule 1: Be Civil, Not Cursed
This isn’t your personal call-out post.
- No harassment, dogpiling, or brigading
- No bigotry (transphobia, racism, sexism, etc.)
- Keep it fun and weird, not mean-spirited
Rule 2: No Forbidden Posts
Some things belong in the drafts forever. That means:
- No spam or scams
- No porn or sexually explicit content
- No illegal content (don’t make this a federal case)
- NSFW screenshots must be properly tagged
If you see a post that breaks the rules, report it so the mods can handle it. Otherwise just reblog and relax.

MODERATORS
Adding bioluminescence to basically anything is possible with CRISPR technology. Green fluorescent protein is so easy to splice in that they use it in labs to test if other genetic mods were successful. Be the change you want to see in the world.
You'll never be bioluminescent
Spoken like someone who has never injested lethal amounts of radioactive isotopes before. Don't let your dreams be dreams.
That's not bioluminescence
With strontium 90 and the courage to act anything is possible.
But... we already are.
Luminous beings are we, Yoda said a while ago.
More recently, research confirmed.
Right in the feels.
Bitch, I got glow in the dark nail polish.
Is chemo not bio
It is the realm of man to engineer what evolution never gave us.
Does that genuinely bother anyone? I like looking at it, not being it.
It is not that difficult to make a virus with a bioliminus protein (and it's apparatus) and inject your self with it
I've got black body radiation, what me worry?
that's cold
