Do you agree?
We all glow in infrared.
heat up anyone enough, and they will glow in visible spectrum.
Now I lay me down to bed
Darkness won’t engulf my head
I can see by infrared
How I hate the night
yhea, but so does any warm object.
Still technically bioluminescence
Glad i’m not. Can you imagine the kind of dumb social edict that would have built up around that?
Retail Employee, on their 10th day in a row with no overtime because the schedule got thrown together at the last minute again: [briefly shining above the infrared before fading back again] Hello sir, is there anything I can help you with today?
Customer [so angry he’s strobing] How dare you! It’s bad customer service to greet me with such pitiful luminescence! I’ve never been so insulted! Where is your manager?
Today we are not only glowing in our skins in our Walmart team Bio-Blue^Tm^ tones, but with excitement for our performance reviews! Anyone glowing out of sync or the wrong will placed on our Glow Up Blue Enthusiasm Enrichment Course.
Anyone spotted feeling red will be written up. Remember to keep your home colors home.
Humans are, it’s just very dim
There’s also probably be luminescence-based racism since different people would shine with a slightly different color.
You are bioluminescent. www.popularmechanics.com/…/biophotons-emit-glow/
What if I told you, you were, but you just can’t see it. :)
Fascinating. But isn’t this akin to stripes on a tiger or zebra, just visibly in a different electromagnetic spectrum?
Whereas bioluminescence involves producing/emitting of light like fireflies.
All I want is a prehensile tail.
But you already are.
Total jackass genie move. Shoulda said you wanted to be bioluminescent in the spectrum visible to humans!
As someone that struggles to sleep in a room with any light; this sounds awful.
Same. Especially if your eyelids are bioluminescent!
is THIS why i’m so enraptured with tritium accessories?
You can fix it with an sight seeing tour in Chernobyl.
Wasn’t a crispr kit only a few hundred euros?
You can just mail order custom crispr sequences and genes. Is it lack of knowledge or lack of fortitude that stops you?
I wonder if anyone used these yet to turn down their myostatin or something
You are, just not in the part of the spectrum visible to humans
I remember a Star Trek Voyager episode where Ensign Kim had sex with an alien and began to glow. If you see someone glow, they’ve been canoodling with ET.
Depends where. I’d love removed genitals.
