Re: Real-Life Weirdness
It is extreme to say it's genetic rather than individuals adapting. And certainly no evidence that every other genetic difference is how they're adapted to diving.
I agree though that it works for gaming.

Re: Real-Life Weirdness
The enlarged spleen is common to members of the tribe who don't dive as well, militating against it being na individual adaptation. Also, IIRC from a different article the genes in question have been (probably) identified.

That said, there are obvious possibilities here that are both horrific and hopeful...well down the road. The scary part is the twists in the road on the way there. They do need to be thinking about the 'shoulds' as well as the 'coulds'.

Re: Real-Life Weirdness
Making any part of a brain survive longer after decapitation that it otherwise would... My claim of literal nightmare fuel stands.

Re: Real-Life Weirdness
OK, this probably qualifies as real-life weirdness, and I could just about imagine gaming applications, too:
Zero to 100 in a shed Sort of self-explanatory, but in essence, a mobile self-powered shed.

"We are looking into the reports that the system mentioned zombies. I want to reiterate that Lake Worth does not have any zombie activity currently and apologize for the system message."
Officials in Lake Worth, Florida, would like you to know there are no zombies roaming their streets _ despite a middle-of-the-night alert that residents received warning of "extreme zombie activity." |
