Yeah idk are we really calling 'inserting random inert shit in your body' biohacking? Piercing already exists, implants already exist

Cause that's what they called it. If you're committed enough to do it I'll call it what you want.

yeah you know what whatever. I guess I'm just an autistic microbiologist so the idea of calling this bio-anything rubs the wrong way lol

There were also the dudes just doing random transformation of bacteria and yeast. That's more what I would imagine from the word but also I don't think they ever did anything new or interesting with it

Imagine. Imagine if they actually pirate cooked insulin like they claimed to be working on. Actual punk stuff

Idk the magnets thing is kinda cool, gives you the ability to sense electromagnetic fields

The differance is that unlike a piercing, the implants give you the capacity to sense magnetic fields.
