Welcome to /c/Tumblr

All the chaos of Tumblr, without actually going to Tumblr.

Rule 1: Be Civil, Not CursedThis isn’t your personal call-out post.

  • No harassment, dogpiling, or brigading
  • No bigotry (transphobia, racism, sexism, etc.)
  • Keep it fun and weird, not mean-spirited

Rule 2: No Forbidden PostsSome things belong in the drafts forever. That means:

  • No spam or scams
  • No porn or sexually explicit content
  • No illegal content (don’t make this a federal case)
  • NSFW screenshots must be properly tagged

If you see a post that breaks the rules, report it so the mods can handle it. Otherwise just reblog and relax.

We are bioluminescent, though.

The real problem is our vision is too shit to detect it.

Glow on, beautiful people!

Adding bioluminescence to basically anything is possible with CRISPR technology. Green fluorescent protein is so easy to splice in that they use it in labs to test if other genetic mods were successful. Be the change you want to see in the world.

You'll never be bioluminescent

Spoken like someone who has never injested lethal amounts of radioactive isotopes before. Don't let your dreams be dreams.

That's not bioluminescence

With strontium 90 and the courage to act anything is possible.

But... we already are.

Luminous beings are we, Yoda said a while ago.

More recently, research confirmed.

Right in the feels.

Does that genuinely bother anyone? I like looking at it, not being it.

Bitch, I got glow in the dark nail polish.

It is the realm of man to engineer what evolution never gave us.

It is not that difficult to make a virus with a bioliminus protein (and it's apparatus) and inject your self with it
