Will humans ever photosynthesize like plants?

[OneManGang]

what defines when one species officially ends and another begins?

Well I'd say that since the DNA of humans would have to be altered significantly, the end product would have to be classified as a new species. The change would be so radical there would be no guarantee that humans could even breed with the end product, such would be the mutation to our genome to pull that off.

Phenotypically it would look very different as well. Our cells would have to have photosynthetic dye to trap photons, thus making us some wild color. I don't think we could be considered human at that point.

I *think* it's the ability to produce fertile offspring, but don't quote me on that.

black people use sunlight to make vitamin d thanks to our melanin

all humans use sunlight to make vitamin d, not just black people.

I'm pretty sure you're right about that.

Dont we use more too much energy to make any use of photosynthesis? The brain alone uses a shyt load of calories

I think so. Not photosynthesis but solar powered humans.

Nanotech and Biotech are still their infancy.

trans-humanism is almost here breh

white people don't absorb sunlight breh. They reflect it. Which is why people tell you to wear light colors in the summer. The little bit they do absorb gives them cancer which is why they put on sunblock. Keep in mind when I say "black people", I'm talking about anyone not white(blues eyes, blonde hair etc). There are people who consider themselves white but are actually black in reality.

For example Blake Griffin, who many consider white but some of us know this is not the case.

you're fukking retarded dude. White people are not mirrors. We need sunlight just like any other human. Light skin just means you can't safely absorb the same amount of UV rays as darker skin. People tell you to wear light color clothes in the summer because it attracts LESS sunlight not because it reflects it completely.

We all use sunlight to synthesize vitamin D. White ppl do a better job at it because of their lack of melanin. African Americans do a shytter job at it than fairer skin folk because of our melanin. Americans in general dont get enough sunlight and this is one of the reasons why vitamin D deficiency is a problem in the Black community. If Whites reflect sunlight they wouldnt get sunburns so easily

Seriously one of the top 10 dumbest comments I've seen in HL/KTL ever

I never said white people completely reflected light like mirrors. The same result is given whether people literally reflect light or don't absorb the same amount so dunno why you're calling me out . Reflect, Reject, Not absorbing the same amount of sunlight = same thing.

no. its not. and its not that we can't absorb the same amount of sunlight, its that darker skin can more SAFELY absorb UV RAYS from sunlight without being damaged.

I agree with everything you said . That's my fault for not wording it right or explaining myself thoroughly . Nonetheless, it's proven that melanin is what allows people of color to easily connect to the universe. Which is unlocked by sunlight.

looks like this shyt went way over these nikkas heads

ahhh the integration of man and machine. it has some very practical uses but can easily be taken too far. i am skeptical about the chances our government will use this technology righteously.

i prefer the integration with nature and working with the elements, but i know yall aint feeling that alchemical shh. but in reality our goal should be powering our cities with our own internally generated bioelectric energy. our bodies produce a lot of electricity but we could be producing a lot more.

What about machines is unnatural?

Are they not made of the same particles as we are?
