Technically every warm blooded organism is bioluminescent.

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

I want to know at what wavelengths. Did I miss it?

It bugs me that they say 'it's not infrared - it's photons!' (paraphrasing).

Well if we want to get pedantic, adrenaline exists.

And the button is just more pain.

[–] Reyali@lemm.ee 2 points 12 hours ago

Not great for long-term use in cases of chronic pain though.

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.

[–] fossilesque@mander.xyz 6 points 15 hours ago (2 children)

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

Make everyone pansexual. It would simplify a lot of things.

All eugenics is pseudoscience garbage.

Casually forgot about cancer

[–] Nougat@fedia.io 30 points 18 hours ago

That’s going to take some time, it’s a kernel bug.

[–] NakariLexfortaine@lemm.ee 8 points 16 hours ago

We'll start the carcinisation tree in 3.0.

A. Add infrared vision to prevent burns.

[–] Evil_Shrubbery@lemm.ee 2 points 12 hours ago

And x~gamma ray to prevent nuclear radiation burns.

And some electromagnetic field sensors to prevent magnets from 'being magic'.
