Mosquitos are not humanity though.

How can one fix mosquitos in humans?

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

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.

Exercice helps but 3rd party tool are often still needed.

They just need to eliminate diminishing returns that they introduced back in the beta.

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.

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

When are the rest of you going to get the magenta receptor update?

[–] tiny@midwest.social 25 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] VitoRobles 10 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] I_am_10_squirrels@beehaw.org 2 points 1 hour ago

They should be dedicated holes for each process

[–] absGeekNZ@lemmy.nz 24 points 16 hours ago

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

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.

[–] Majorllama@lemmy.world 127 points 21 hours ago (12 children)

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.

I like baldness and body hair! They should be optional too

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 and relatable memes, it’s yet to provide any positive results.

[–] Aqarius@lemmy.world 3 points 9 hours ago

Or, like, at least a caffeine gland or something.

[–] mdd@lemm.ee 10 points 14 hours 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.

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!

  • Eating and breathing pathways no longer intersect. This should prevent the bug when food could block the airway and result in death.
[–] deo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 14 hours ago* (last edited 14 hours ago)

This is actually a result of changes to our larynx and stuff, which allows us to make such a variety of sounds when speaking. In other animals (and human babies), the air and food tubes are physically separated at rest. But in humans, our epiglottis can't properly keep things separate because our larynx is further down in our throat.

So, I'm gonna have to deny this request on the grounds that it will necessarily break the speech feature, which many of our users depend on heavily.

If teeth regenerate, do we have to constantly chew on things like rodents? Or is it an as-needed thing?

[–] Prandom_returns@lemm.ee 6 points 13 hours ago

You clip them like nails.

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!”
