      It doesn’t turn off, you have to manually burn oxygen molecules with every cell constantly to live

        The ultimate multi-task. I assume that I’d have to manage cell division too. Wild to think about how little we are actually in charge of within ourselves.

          I’m not even doing the breathing! Nevermind how I don’t even know how this sentence will end and I’m writing it electric lobsters!

          See I couldn’t even tell you where something I physically had to type out even came from. Wild indeed.

          It’s really wild how research is continuing to find strong implications that we are not individual microorganisms but multiorganisms that act as one

        If I can control my body at the molecular level, then I can control the chemical reactions in charge of emotions and fatigue. Depression, stress, burnout? Just turn that shit off.

      On a whim you decide to max out your pleasure, but don’t set a time limit. You lose all higher cognitive functions as you’re flooded with bliss.

      With no way back, you slowly starve to death, loving every moment of it.

      It causes an unbearable stench around you. No one will come closer than fifty meters without a total haz-mat suit with scuba.
