If teeth regenerate, do we have to constantly chew on things like rodents?

[–] [email protected] 17 points 2 weeks ago

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

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.

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

I think life would be a little better if we cranked up the gay gene. Y'all know how to party.

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

I thought you had to put something in the water for that?

Why is this command recursive?

You don't just want to fix one human, you want to fix all the offspring as well.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

Haha. But really what does -R mean?

Or some posts have a bunch of ,,,.., at the end. What's that?

  • Eating and breathing pathways no longer intersect. This should prevent the bug when food could block the airway and result in death.
[–] [email protected] 24 points 2 weeks 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.

  • separated genetalia from waste systems

  • removed body hair and baldness

  • fixed acne glitch

  • added ability to change biological sex, with default neutral configuration

  • rerouted laryngeal nerve

  • uterus lining is now reabsorbed automatically

  • reinforced spine and knees

  • simplified foot structure

  • adjusted mental pathways to better adapt to modern environment

added ability to change biological sex

PLEASE

[–] [email protected] 20 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

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.

They are forgetting that TERRIBLE design choice where if you accidentally bite the inside of your cheek it swells up making it easier to bite it on accident again and again.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

on accident

Rather than by purpose? #54%

[–] [email protected] 16 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I'm a masochist but I have my limits. Lol

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I think they're calling you out on saying "on accident" rather than "by accident"

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

Are both not acceptable ways of typing that out? I know I'm bad at punctuation, grammar and spelling, but I thought you could say you did something on accident or by accident interchangeably.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Nope, it's just by accident. Must be a certain demographic that seems to have fallen into the habit of saying it as I never hear people use "on" in real life.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

https://www.juliatomiak.com/grammar-check-on-accident-vs-by-accident/

Apparently "on accident" has been gaining usage and "by accident" is generally used by the older generations.

I'm 93 so I don't know where I picked up "on accident" but until this day I haven't had anyone say anything. How interesting.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Must be just an American thing? I never hear anyone say it here!

Also, could you be on of Lemmy's oldest users?!

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Oh no.... I meant 1993 lol.

But I cannot blame you for thinking I meant 93 years old haha. Thats my bad.

I gotta remember to put '93 or just spent the extra few milliseconds to hit the 1 and 9 keys.

Once again my laziness bites me in the ass haha

You're just supposed to bite that bit off. Otherwise it's just going to keep happening.

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"

[–] [email protected] 24 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Apparently a lot of males are still in alpha.

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

Alpha roll-out for an entire cohort is in-progress.

ironically we may well have been the only somewhat intelligently designed animal for a long time, since there's a pretty good argument that we're self-domesticated.

so like, we're not just a prerelease, we're a fucking fork of a prerelease

[–] [email protected] 29 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

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