The thing about transhumanism that sucks is that on one half of the aisle you have trannys who regularly just inject microchips into themselves, not fearing the thought of death and doing it purely because "it'd be cool." but on the other half of the spectrum it's tech bros that think that cold showering at 4:30 AM and eating fish oil supplements counts as "biohacking."

like... both groups saw the endless potential upgrades possible with the advance of tissue-compatible polymers/electronic coatings/chemicals, and where one saw the potential for bioluminescence and replaceable limbs, the other one saw the ability to let Elon Musk sell ad space in their dreams and loved it.

A cyberpunk hacker offers you a safe, free upgrade to your eyes! Which would you accept?

x-ray vision

heat ray vision

laser vision

infrared vision

ultraviolet vision

tetrachromacy vision

HUD overlay

visual recording and storage

it'd be great if you could just fix my depth perception

I'm curious about this "normal color vision" other people go on about

no effect, they just look like [tag] now

nope nope nope there's no way this is worth it

The Juice Is Loose | Britt H. Young

Community-supported biolabs still exist, but experimentation has taken a backseat to off-label purposes like anti-aging.

Gabriel Licina, who first gained media attention for developing night vision eye drops in 2015, says that over time biohacking and bodyhacking have been conflated as the idea that you can “hack” the body like a computer moved into the mainstream. If the body is a machine, there is code. If there is code, there is a hack to be made. “Bodyhacking is doing all the shit your mom said you needed to do—don’t look at screens after dark and eat a sandwich,” says Licina. With “bodyhacking” falling out of use, these are the kinds of biological interventions that (primarily) men working in tech, swimming in a culture of self-optimization, have come to call biohacking. Think intermittent fasting and drinking Soylent. Biohacking gives people—techies especially—the permission to tinker when the medical establishment fails their needs or falls short of their desires. That’s how health and wellness founders capitalized on the biohacking movement. “They swooped in,” says Licina, “I watched everyone slide into consumerist bullshit.”

[deviae-support]

this mod (as the coiner) believes deviae to be a queer label and this mod wants to tell you that celebration isn't the only thing that aids in queer rights. Riots, protests, lobbying, and advocating for your rights as deviae folk includes advocating for:

the rights of disabled and mad queers

the right to modify your body

the right to be transsexual and on HRT

the right to biohack yourself

the right to be animals in society

the right to have autonomy over your body

the right to identify, metamorphasize, and further deviate your sex and species

the right for intersex folk to transition, to be queer, and to identify as who they want to be

the right to be called deviae and to be recognized as deviae

discussing deviae and talking about your deviaesis is not just about nonhumans, it's about helping all species and coming to the collective agreement that everyone deserves bodily autonomy and should always give clear and concise consent to how their body is used. the parents of infants should not be mutilating their children, the society around us should not uphold zoanormalcy and cishetnormative ideologies that push people to be one or the other, and there should be public spaces for varsexed people, somavins, and creatures from all walks of life.

By 2021, around 6,000 Swedes had microchips implanted in their hands, allowing them to store data like emergency contacts, social media profiles, and e-tickets for events and rail travel.
