I demand it! NOW!

I am tired of having to eat, what a waste of my precious time.  I could be gaming, reading, thinking, whatever

but no, my stomach realizes it's empty and keep poking me no matter how hard I try to ignore the bastard.

Meals, what a waste of time.

Photosynthetic skin already! Engineer it!

that was my utopian rant of the day.

/bow

now I'll head home

    I did a biology project back in high school with a friend where we designed a photosynthetic sloth...

    We thought it was pure genius... I mean, c'mon. The sloth is the epitome of laziness... What better form of feeding for a lazy creature than photosynthesis? So yeah... our solution was for the sloth to develop a symbiotic relationship with bacteria in its fur that'll somehow allow the bacteria to absorb the sunlight and convert it into energy blah blah blah bs bs bs...

    But why not apply the same concept to humans?

    Quickly! Go rub a bunch of dirt on your skin!

    You could try fasting. After a few days your body will stop feeling hungry and you will actually feel really good. I never fasted but my friend does fast even for a few weeks at a time and he says he feels so much better that he doesn't want to stop sometimes. It basically cleans your body and gives it a break from digesting all the time.

    But its only good if your not underweight (I think I am).

    I would go crazy If I fasted. I go for 4 mile jogs every other day and have Taekwondo practice that I go to on the other days...without the food I wouldn't be able to function =(....although its something I'd like to try.

    If only we could hold a rock in our hand, abosrb it into energy and then go run. That would be awesomeness.

    I'm pretty sure it's the type of thing you don't want to go nutz with on your first time lol. So not very much rigorous exercise. But after awhile like anything else the body can handle fasting pretty well. My friend says He feels very energized (He exercises a lot) while fasting but He's been doing fasts for years and so his can handle it quite well.

    I'd like to fast too.

    If you die while fasting I assume no responsibility lol. j/k. I don't think anyone can die under a controlled fast unless you have some medical complications or have no brain :)

    A 500 gram stone would be.

    0,5x300000^2=45000000000 joules

    or about 5000 hiroshima bombs.

    just the dust and debris alone on one's skin should give plenty of energy to pass around if that method were possible

    Well thank you..

    To nerd it up a bit then, andromeda galaxy is actually called m-31, it just sits in the andromeda constellation, thus its 'nickname', or something like that.

    My two favourite topics, cosmology and physics, my collection of documentaries on the subjects now weigh in at about 70Gb, heh.

    That probably makes me a nerd yes, but i am content and that is all that matters.

    if this kinda shit was possible, i wouldn't be worried about running to Andromeda.

    then again... seeing another galaxy probably would be pretty friggin' cool.

    well, you could go on walks for days without worrying about food.  You'd need minerals, which is cheap as dirt because, well,.. it is just dirt and rocks!  Clean drinking water is plentifull still in this nation and many others, thankfully, meaning that with a sleeping bag... you could travel freely as long as there was sunlight.

    Man, you have no idea how far I'd travel, lol, I'd chase the summers between the hemispheres.

    Reminds me of a song called Waltzing Matilda: "When I was a young lad, I carried me pack, and I lived the free life of the rover."

    Good song. Anyways, what you just explained would be like...a dream to me. I'd continue with my wilderness survival education, focusing more on personal protection and shelter, and forget all about procuring food (1/5 of the wilderness survival elements).

    Then I'd just live the free life of the rover.

    PS. If you DL the song, get the clancy brothers version.

    I think this would be a good idea.  Especially right now.  I think I have gallstones.  Everytime I eat my stomach hurts. 

    So doing away with the stomach, liver, pancreas, etc sounds very appealing to me right now.

    Oh lordy, what an innovative idea!

    We could all strap plants to our heads and wait for their roots to sink into our brains...

    Or tie ourselves with vines and other tentacly greens.

    Mmmm.... tentacly greeeenss...

    LOL. No people do fasts because they educated themselves on it and then did it because of its health benefits. Anorexia is for people who have mental issues and think their fat and so they starve themselves for a LONG time. Fasts go for like a few weeks to maybe a month or something (different for everyone) then back to whatever you want to do afterwards :)

    Also some people fast for religious reasons but thats another story.
