So apparently they’re starting to create machines with biological parts. I wonder how long until we get artificial stomachs capable of using anything not explodey or caustic for fuel?
It would already be awesome if we could hack or genetically engineer our gut biome to produce all needed vitamins and proteins out of carbohydrates and fats. Theoretically then we could live just off of sugar or oil. Plus some minerals.
That too! I think that has more to do with fat cells and hormonal balances. But hopefully we will make medical advances soon that allow us more control over our own bodies instead of cybernetics.

We used to have self driving vehicles running on water and hay.
I meant me. But if they can get me running on hay and water I wouldn’t say no.
Neigh :'D

Right? And can we get some kind of metering system so we don’t pack on extra fat?
People are afraid of a cybernetic future but I’m sitting here wondering just how healthy we can make the human body.

they already exist, they are called fermentation vats
Okay but can I install one in my body and use it for nutrients?
you already do, well, healthy kids do, anyways .
That explains why I’m a ghost. :( All these centuries, wondering and wandering.
