Also please reroute the food pipe to not use the air pipe

I want my prehensile tail back, not this vestigial piece of SHIT!

How do you picture it? Like a spider monkey, a fox, or like one of those hippopotamus's who helicopter chops their shit everywhere?

One sounds useful, one sounds cute, one sounds like your asserting dominance over unexpecting persons waiting in queue

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

TIL
Thanks for the link! This is really awesome.

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.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Also you are a flying squid and not a glowing squid, so its no wonder that we/you don't glow.

I speak as a human when I wear my human costume. That's exactly why I have this shirt:

Don't we have some of the best eyes in the entire animal kingdom except for birds?

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

We have blood vessels in front of our visual sensors. Squid and octopuses have better designed eyes.

I don't know how we compare in visual acuity to them, but they don't need to fake as much of their visual field as we do

"Best eyes"

Adjusts glasses

[–] FlyingSquid 4 points 5 days ago

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.

  • regrow hair cells to mitigate hearing loss
  • (optional) eternal life and youth
[–] [email protected] 9 points 5 days ago

Eternal life is p2w coming with season pass

[–] Olhonestjim 2 points 5 days ago

These days it ain't looking like a bunch of us ought to live forever.

Mosquitos are not humanity though.

[–] Olhonestjim 5 points 5 days ago

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

  • remove redundant form of hemoglobin

Ah yes let’s make the entire system vulnerable so a single attack vector can shutdown every node.

But feeling like I'm falling when I'm going to sleep is the only time I really feel alive...

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 days ago

I'm glad I'm not the only one who has nightmares of slipping on ice and falling down stairs when I sleep. The kicks I do are annoying.

[–] Olhonestjim 2 points 5 days ago (1 children)

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 2 points 4 days ago

6 fingers feature already in development, available to some users in PTR
