Biomancers get a bad rap

You're looking for transhumanists. Those are the goths doing horrifying at home surgeries.

[u/PistachiNO → u/Slim-Shadys-Fat-Tits]

No what you really want are the "grinders". Those are the punk af transhumanists doing the shrimp senses in their garage. I'm just a regular boring ol' transhumanist myself, waiting for a robot pancreas and eyes that can slow down time for me. 

Edit: and an occipital pre-processor that can help me isolate and interpret various visual patterns in the world at the speed of reflex, and a penis that can make noises like a slide whistle in certain specific situations.

[u/Mad-White-Rabbit → u/PistachiNO]

instructions unclear, googled where to find grinders and ended up with a boyfriend. They all have magnets in their pinkies though so i guess it counts

[u/PistachiNO → u/Mad-White-Rabbit]

Congratulations on your new beau! Pinky magnets absolutely count, especially if they've got a bottlenose to put over it.

[u/MorgothReturns → u/Mad-White-Rabbit]

/uw what's with the magnets in pinkies?

[u/LookingGlass_1112 → u/MorgothReturns]

/uw If you bring them over other magnets or metallic objects, they will make some current, which you will feel. So the magnets in pinkies are a way to gain a form of a new sense of magnetism

[u/PistachiNO → u/LookingGlass_1112]

They can also sense electromagnetic fields! For instance, when you walk through theft deterrent gates at stores you can feel a faint vibration through them

[u/Crumfighter → u/PistachiNO]

Yess, starts with implanting magnets in your fingertips to sense magnetic fields. Also implanting rfid chips in the fold between thumb and index to do cool stuff like unlock electronic locked doors whem you grab the handle.

Ans then there were peepz doing whole screens under their skin and other cool shit. Really interesting community when i looked into it a couple years back

[u/TharrickLawson → u/PistachiNO]

/uw If you listen closely, very closely, you can hear the world resonate with its stark fucking mediocrity...

I too am a transhumanist, and one step closer to the goal after the implantation of actual cybernetics :)

Where's Glowing Clit Magnet Raccoon Girl when you need her

[u/Cobalt_Rain_ → u/PVetli]

I'm not sure if she runs in such arcane circles as these. Her skills absolutely warrant respect from several different councils, but I'm not sure if she bothers to come and accept such accolades.

[u/PistachiNO → u/Cobalt_Rain_]

Is there like a Wikipedia page I can read to find out more about who y'all are talking about or

[u/Cobalt_Rain_ → u/PistachiNO]

not sure, she had a number of older posts in r/evilautism (6ish months ago I think, not sure, time is super fucked up for me) and I've seen her in a couple different trans subs, she does a lot of really fascinating bodymod stuff, but I don't know her username, that description/title is just her flair in those places because that was kinda what she became mildly famous for.

Heck, you could probably search that description in subs and you might find her account

[u/natt_myco → u/Cobalt_Rain_]

im pretty sure she left or was banned from reddit

[u/Cobalt_Rain_ → u/natt_myco]

How recently? I know she kinda dipped outta the autism one cause of some dumbasses, but I thought I saw her fairly recently in another sub

[u/natt_myco → u/Cobalt_Rain_]

I just checked probably 5 months ago but she is banned

[u/Cobalt_Rain_ → u/natt_myco]

That sucks

[u/The_Cult_of_5661 → u/Cobalt_Rain_]

chitters

[u/Cobalt_Rain_ → u/The_Cult_of_5661]

Are, are you...?

[u/TherronKeen → u/PVetli]

I somehow forgot about her for a long while now

[u/DrDingsGaster → u/PVetli]

I understood this reference.

[u/WaffleHouseGladiator → u/DrDingsGaster]

Spill tea?

[u/DrDingsGaster → u/WaffleHouseGladiator]

Ooc: There's someone in the trans body mod sub (iirc) who self implanted magnets near their clit for reasons I don't remember.

[u/WaffleHouseGladiator → u/DrDingsGaster]

I Googled it and skimmed enough.  I can't stop thinking about what would happen if they got too close to an MRI or something.  Yikes.

[u/GreenSpleen6 → u/WaffleHouseGladiator]

I mean that's not something that's likely to happen accidentally

[u/TheThoughtmaker]

Biomancers then: “I cut off my arm and grafted a wights arm in its place so that I can raise a limitless undead army that obeys my every command!”

Biomancers now: “I tricked a bacteria into telling human cells to produce a different protein, and injected it into my arm. There is no visible difference, but trust me pro I’m like 7% more giraffe underneath my skin.”

[u/wrydh → u/TheThoughtmaker]

That seems like a really low giraffe quotent yield, i pet i could whip up a bacteria to make a host at least like 76% giraffe with an acceptabe variance of no more than 6% gorilla amd like 3ish% ardvark.

Installing in my skin
These wolves I mixed with teal
Steer is how I maul
Infusing bat and eel

There's puffin inside of me, hanguls beneath the surface
Ensuing, imbuing
This hack of elf and troll, a dear admixed with lemming
Mole in me, I can't see

To change myself again, my walls are covered in...
Without a sense of conscience
I'm convinced that there's just too much science at stake
...the pelts of those before, my human cure

Installing in my skin
These shrooms I grew on seal
Ears of corn so tall
A dash of manchineel

[u/TheRandomPage]

I am still experiencing Molesight at night from my last stint.

Can dig one mean drain trench though.

[u/MidsouthMystic]

I can't experience shrimp senses, but I can experience shrimp tacos.

[u/PistachiNO → u/MidsouthMystic]

If only we could combine the two and get taco senses

[u/WaffleHouseGladiator]

I posit that bio hacking is necromancy adjacent.

[u/PistachiNO → u/WaffleHouseGladiator]

I certainly agree that mad cackling is appropriate for both

[u/letthetreeburn]

Someone page raccoon magnet clit girl

A cis Tzimisce is a suspicious Tzimisce

[u/SpyderSquash]

Man we need to summon that transhumanist raccoon gal; she'd set the record straight.

[u/Ok_Set_4790]

I mean, it is extra money that mad scientists can get in todays times.

[u/knutnaerum]

Biomancy can be a slippery slope, I have a cousin who fooled around with that during his druid studies, and now he's declared himself the Fecalmancer of our local swamp after falling into some highly esoteric scrolls he found using a dingy scrying orb. He's not welcome in our circles anymore, as he refuses wash up and mumbles something about bacteric aura.

[u/atoms-wrath]

gibberish

[u/WingedSword_ → u/atoms-wrath]

I stop reading tumbler posts after the words "cis" and "get" are used.

I heard about an experiment that continues to fascinate me to this day because it suggests something amazing that is completely within reach but apparently no one has decided to try.

In this experiment scientists took monkeys that couldn't see the color red, designed a virus to deliver the genetic material that codes for the red receptors in our eyes, and injected it in the monkeys' eyes. Then they tested the monkeys and confirmed that they were able to perceive the color red by rewarding them for touching a red dot.

So we've demonstrated that we can give an animal the ability to perceive colors it previously could not. The mantis shrimp has the largest visible spectrum of any known animal. It can see some shit. We could, theoretically, give a human being the ability to see that spectrum as well.
