  • Suffocation sensation is now tied to a lack of oxygen instead of an abundance of carbon dioxide.

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.

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.

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!

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!”

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

Wait, you can't eat and breathe through the same hole?

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

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

Someone did the math for photosynthetic cows and they would only get about 1% of their energy requirement. It's not viable.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 weeks ago

Cows farm out their photosynthesis to things that have far more surface area than they do.

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 a couple students with a little bit of knowledge thinking they could conclusively analyze the world. And new here we all are on social media doing the same thing.

Overly sarcastic productions is one of my favorite YouTube channels.

Give it a go!

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.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks 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.
