    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.

      There’s also the weird decision to put a bunch of easily-bruised bones in your butt which would normally be used for a tail.

      I once had a creationist defend the coccyx as being necessary for keeping muscles together. That was fun.

      Thank you, I came here to say the same thing. The problem isn’t that we don’t glow, it’s the fact that our eyes suck.

      A lot of Bioluminiscence, but Infrared light as almost in any living be, which we can’t see without special devices.

      Structural weakness not only in the lower back, but also in the knees. The human being still has many reminists of an quadruped, as one of the younger species. He still has a way to be optimized as bipedo. Lower back and knees are still not optimized for this, apart of some other static and organic problems. We are still in phase beta.

        It’s different from the blackbody radiation that body heat produces.

        Evolution doesn’t follow the rules of intelligent design anyhow. If they did, we would all be crabs.

          Infrarojo is different from light visible only by wavelength and energy.

          Nothing to do with intelligent design, evolution is a self -regulating process due to environmental conditions. Given that the life of a human being is relatively long, naturally last generational evolutionary changes in a very complex organism, due to viable positive genetic variations, where a 99.99% is not, much longer until optimization. Somewhat more than 2 millon years isn’t enough for this, less with continuous changes in the environment and conditions. Simple organism with a short life cycle can optimize in days, but complex organism like humans can’t. Other beings have needed hundreds of millions of years for a perfect body, but with the price of already have the veto of evolving more. After perfection there can only be decay.

    • Eating and breathing pathways no longer intersect. This should prevent the bug when food could block the airway and result in death.

    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

    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”

      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.

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

      It’ll be fixed when we starting storing element counts as 64-bit integers (instead of 32-bit).

    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.

    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!”

    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.
