Technically every warm blooded organism is bioluminescent.
Science Memes
Welcome to c/science_memes @ Mander.xyz!
A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.
Rules
- Don't throw mud. Behave like an intellectual and remember the human.
- Keep it rooted (on topic).
- No spam.
- Infographics welcome, get schooled.
This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.

Ahem... maybe new players forgot this, but humans have been bioluminescent since the oxygenic respiration patch ages ago.
https://www.sciencealert.com/you-can-t-see-it-but-humans-actually-glow-in-visible-light
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).
- add pain snooze button
Well if we want to get pedantic, adrenaline exists.
And the button is just more pain.
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.
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
That’s going to take some time, it’s a kernel bug.
We'll start the carcinisation tree in 3.0.
A. Add infrared vision to prevent burns.
And x~gamma ray to prevent nuclear radiation burns.
And some electromagnetic field sensors to prevent magnets from 'being magic'.
