A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.
Rules
This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.
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!”
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"
Apparently a lot of males are still in alpha.
Alpha roll-out for an entire cohort is in-progress.
Unfortunately the alpha roll-out had a major unpached bug causing a complete internal breakdown of the ethics and intelligence processing units in all those updated.
Some hypothesis that as alpha men now have the processing capacity of an ant, they may soon evolve a hive-mind. As this would allow all mental processing to be outsourced to a singular fat orange queen.
Edit: spelling
Saltwater consumption when????
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).
Its not clear to me either, but since they said visible, my guesses would be 680 nanometers or 490 nanometers, because, well, hydrogen.
The paper (which is very short) said 500-700nm and referenced an older (1997) paper that reported on a bunch of UV and visual emitting living systems. I looked there but didn't pinpoint an answer. It did mention that the emission doesn't usually have sharp peaks (as the reason they trade spectral resolution for sensitivity). It seems like the emitting molecules are large, so it's probably pretty broad.
Anyway... that made me nice and sleepy.
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!
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.
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.
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.
Technically every warm blooded organism is bioluminescent.
