Hilarious and literally my same thought.

I think it is _fascinating_ how we can modulate these amazing biological machines to do all kinds of tricks.

I wish we had a better effect discovery process, something akin to alphafold where the space can be explored and defined beyond wait-and-see.

Seriously, I love software but a geneticist/biologist would have been a fascinating career.

DNA, evolution, etc. is insanely powerful and you are kind of reverse-engineering and tweaking it to get different outcomes, but like you point out it is very slow. We just need to live for like 10,000 years and then a lifetimes work would become more exciting.

And go on Atkin’s if it’s a fatty enough fungus!

Why use microorganisms when fats can be synthesized abiotically?

Be an ultra-vegan; don't even kill microorganisms.

Breatharians are several steps ahead of you.
