I saw recently probably on youtube a person saying that their cat was transgender. I think that is insane and disrespectful to animal but some people just have opposite ideas I gues. I'm not saying that OP is the same crazy for asking the op question but I still think that we should consider animals to have animal feelings unknowable to us and respect that by assuming only the most basic ones like when they are hungry or hurt or feeling the yeeees when you scratch that spot

Thank you for a detailed answer! I know about qualia somewhat and agree with you on every point but only with the degree of uncertainty that you show - you say "entirely possible" and "we can't be sure" because of the same ideas you express earlier that feelings and emotions are immeasurable (maybe there is some top notch neurological method for quantifying/qualifying emotions or will be in the future but none that I know of) - we can't be sure even with people, like you meet a person who seems to be sad and you approach them and ask what's wrong you look sad and they would go like no it's fine it's just how my face looks like.

My idea is only that it's stupid to say things like oh my cat is sad or dog is happy or tortoise is feeling fine, we just don't know and talking with certainty about things we don't know and can't measure is dangerous in my book. Disrespectful is a word that came to mind because many animals suffer from abuse, but simply talking about their emotions is at least not abusive. With people we can at least verbally communicate ideas of our emotions but with animals we can't at all. Maybe cats have something similar to boredom, maybe not; ennui feels like an even more strong and complicated emotion, so seems to be even less likely

It's disrespectful towards animals to project on them human emotions. Cats definitely have feelings but they are feline, mutually incomprehensible with us, although definitely partially communicable

How we survived thus far as a species

I've had the se thought as expressed in the last paragraph the other day and isn't the anwser in compatibility layer? Like can't they install and run windows medical software using WINE?

I did

You spend calories (energy) on exercises and therefore loose weigh (mass) in that process immediately. But that process also breaks protein molecules in your muscles and in heavier workloads it results in your body rebuilding those muscles with sort of muscle scars that will get bigger than the original muscles was and that will eventually lead to weight gain in longer time span. Or do you deny the existence of bodybuilding entirely?

Anamnesis: of Renascents and Monsters is IF and text-based (although it is not purely TUI there are artworks and backgrounds) and it's on itch.io and I didn't find it on the lists, maybe it's not interactive enough to fit into the description. Thanks for assembling this!

My question is genuine though, I'm not biophysics expert, I know there are radioactive elements in our body, but are they worthless? Probably the least meaningful to sustaining life would be least reactive elements if that makes sence, but life is more about energy of chemical reactions between molecules, not individual elements

All the radioactive ones maybe?
