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

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.
I thought you had to put something in the water for that?
All eugenics is pseudoscience garbage.
- add pain snooze button
Well if we want to get pedantic, adrenaline exists.
Not great for long-term use in cases of chronic pain though.

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'.
I remember a college conversation with a bio major when I said I wished we could just eliminate mosquitos. She said if there were no mosquitoes it would be disastrous because some other thing eats them that gets eaten by some other thing, I don't remember the details, but essentially it would destroy the whole food chain. I couldn't help thinking that these bugs etc. would probably eat something else because you know, they would be hungry. Just a couple students with a little bit of knowledge thinking they could conclusively analyze the world. And new here we all are on social media doing the same thing.

Overly sarcastic productions is one of my favorite YouTube channels.
Give it a go!
Why is this command recursive?
You don't just want to fix one human, you want to fix all the offspring as well.
Haha. But really what does -R mean?
Or some posts have a bunch of ,,,.., at the end. What's that?

Tomāto, tomäto.
Mosquito, Muskuito.
I would like to have modularity. Some parts I may want some not. Lemme pick and choose every other week. Some days I even want anxiety, crazy maybe but it helps with getting things done. It sucks to have deadlines without any anxiety possible at all. My sudden anxiety disappearance have really fucked up any work ethics I might have had. It’s a powerful drive.
