Sadly, there's almost nothing alive nowadays like it, barring the Tasmanian devil and quolls (though they're family ********** , which is separate to thylacines). Might look alien because you've never seen anything else like it before.

Considering the insane numbers of animals that live today and look pretty damn strange it's not that surprising.
There's saiga, water deer, sea slug, sea pig, vampire octopus, amphisbaena, suriname toad, stalk-eyed fly, assassin spider, camel spider, batfish, pinnatus and I'm too lazy to continue.
Also, the dances some birds of paradise do are ridiculous (check out parotia's).

Same here. Can't say my parents were abusive... but could be very controlling.. remember this though, once you move out then you're on your own, you're free to get drunk as **** , invite friends over, get a room mate or 2 and get laid in the comfort of your own home without having to deal with sheltering and nagging parents all the time.

Bruh. I had/have an oppressive, manipulative, narcissistic dad. My mom would sometimes be oppressive, but never to the extent of my father. I moved out in September 2012 when I was 23. When I told them I was moving out in two weeks, they made my life an absolute living hell. They squeezed me for all they could get out of me for those final two weeks. I was absolute miserable and thought about suicide. But I held on knowing that once I was out, I would be out.

As soon as I moved out my mood improved DRASTICALLY, and I had a sense of real freedom. Sure, the apartment I lived in (and still do) is **** and I'm poor as **** , but at least I'm not in that horrible oppressing situation.

The woman I moved in with is now my gf, her mother is a raging thundercunt who is manipulative, bipolar person who has to get their way or she yells at you until you do. She has severe clinical depression and was come close to killing herself multiple times.

As soon as we moved in, we both felt freedom for the first time and realized we could do what we wanted, when we wanted and our parents couldn't do a damn thing about it. It was such a liberating feeling and I'd rather live on the street than go back.

I won't deny that I still feel the ramifications of what my parents have done to me, but moving out was the best decision of my life to date. At least you're out of that ****** environment with the ability to make your own decisions and choices.

Sorry if this got a little long winded, but I've been where you are and I can guarantee it'll be 100 times better than where you are right now.

Understatement

Assuming they haven't atrophied a significant amount, your muscles have enough power in them to rip themselves apart and to exceed your own skeletal stress limits. You have more power in your muscles than your body can support, basically, so your brain puts a subconscious limiter on your exertion.

Adrenaline can push the bar up, but an electrical shock bypasses your brain entirely and just activates your muscles, safety protocols be damned

So you really don't want to be electrocuted whilst in a cramped space. You could break your own bones and rip your own muscles to pieces.

Olympic lifters and such learn to bypass these mental blockers to some degree, but it's not safe to do so. It's believed that one reason why humans are fairly weak compared to other animals our size (such as chimps being a bit smaller than us, but are still many times stronger), is because our muscles have evolved to perform much more delicate tasks, such as using tools with great accuracy. In other words, we have very advanced fine motor skills. The trade-off is then that we don't do as well with more explosive, strength-based activities. In theory, though, we could be as strong as chimps and harm ourselves due to us not being adapted to it.

Nah she isn't that old so her skeleton hasn't started to deteriorate. Human bones can take quite a lot of compression, as long as it's going straight down the bones won't break holding a car, might slip a disc in the back, but they won't break.

There's not really a difference between the skeleton of the guy in the picture and everyone elses. The only way to strengthen your bones is through micro-fractures and re-calcification, the way martial artists do. And the only way to weaken your bones is malnutrition, disease and old age. It's the muscles that are put under the most strain, especially those in the back and legs.

So the key to superhuman strength is replacing our bones with a stronger material, one that our muscle can't break.

thats why wolverine has super strength even though his mutant powers dont give it too him. since his bones can break his brain removed the limits on his muscles and them tearing isnt a concern because they repair themselves faster than they rip. hell even deadpool has some level of superhuman strength, but it hurts him ALOT to use it cuz every part of his body is breaking. pic related its deadpool dressed as spiderman to help out his super bro viewcomic.com/deadpool-v3-annual-002-2014/ heres the link to the comic if you want it

Now that's the attitude for SCIENCE

If the tendons are really bound to be the weakest part, it might just be easier to find a way to enhance/replace those, rather than replacing everything. There could be varying degrees of enhancement with different levels of doability.

Bio engineering sure is interesting.

above is a strong man who ripped a tendon talking about said event.

but aside of that the biggest issues is not the bone it self. as given enough time with to ratchet up to that stress they will just get dense enough to support the stress your body can put on them ie kick boxers with healthy bone is already a rival for steel. and they self heal unlike steel. the tendons that hold your **** on the bone is what rips and that cant be easily replaced; also does not get much stronger as we dont have something that strong and flexible.

It still feels weird to know all this but feel amazed when i learn it applied to a case scenario.

So basically it's not the bones (if given enough time and training), not the muscles (they regenerate stronger) but the tendons that are preventing ultimate super strength.
So if we enhance the tendons, train the bones to be tough and find a way to 100% heal the muscles quickly, we'll have superstrength. There is SCIENCE to be done here.

there is still an upper limit to that even if you figure out a way to make it all work.

but lets be real here, if every one wanted to they could be as strong and fast as Bruce lee which while not the hulk is sure as **** a lot more then 99% of the human race. that just takes more work then people want to do. no amount of !SCIENCE! is going to stop hard work from being part of it. even roids still take working out, not as much as other wise but still more work then the folks who cant even lose that "extra" 10 pounds; which is every one would could afford this.

User avatar #107 to #105 - kinginthenorth (09/22/2015) [-]
But the idea is to push beyond Bruce Lee's peak strength. Even Bruce Lee could not use his muscles to the fullest possible extent, as they're able to just rip themselves apart and he didn't. But imagine the strength and performance if we could remove this limit and "unlock" the full potential of the muscles, it'd be removing the glass roof of muscles! We'd have superhuman strength at the base level and much more with any extra training!

Then again, this is all speculative. The thought of this isn't "Why?", it's "Why not?".

What's stopping us from doing that is that you have to somehow attach the muscles to the replacement bones and that's more difficult than it sounds. The muscles send out many fibers into the spot where they attatch to the bone and that strength is difficult to cope - let alone increase. Also bone and tendons contain live tissue so that they can constantly remodel and repair. A cybernetic replacement probably won't be able to do that

I'm not an explain but if I'd hazard a guess
1: There's still your muscles' stress limits. They can still rip.
2: Your brain might not recognize the new bones, let alone knowing they're stronge, and hence would not lift it's limiters

Clearly we need to go further and either make our muscles more stress resistant or we replace it all together. Don't muscles get stronger after healing from a tear/injury?
Then we also need to remove the limiter somehow. Or the brain. Can't underdo these things.

They can
There's no guarantee that they will

Since the brain knows it's limiters from the stresses of your body, replacing the body would likely give us control over said limiter, by adjusting how a certain stress level signals itself to the brain

******* thing is essentially an organic supercomputer
Create an interface and let a programmer have at it, I'll bet you he'll be able to manipulate the thing to his whim in about a day

I mean the interface is key though gotta make that right or the whole thing is a gamble

Then we must advance medical tech to force the healing. But better and more efficient. Because that's just how SCIENCE works.

I figure it'd be more of a "Stress test the body and the brain will adapt the limiter", but that works too.

Well, making an interface for the brain would be difficult. But they're working on that. They definitely are.

We'll just have to find the most efficient way to do it then.

It would, but artificial bodies come with their own set of disadvantages and limitations, compared to biological bodies. Then there's also biologically enhanced bodies, who could be entirely artificial.
Really, there's a lot of ways to do this. The brain's just really stubborn. Once we figure out how to stop brain deterioration and how to transplant it to new bodies, we'd be technically immortal.

The key to stopping brain aging is to improve and perfect the art of cell replication, I think
I'm not sure on this but I think it's because cell division is essentially incomplete, and that there's always a little less material to go around that things grow old and die

beat that and time need no longer be your end

I'd still trade the set of disadvantages an artificial body has over the set the organic version has

Also true.
But when we replace parts of the brain, i start thinking of something i read somewhere. Say you get a hammer from your father. It's very important, but also good, so you use it a lot. But over time, the parts break and you replace them. After a while you've replaced both head and handle. Is it still your father's hammer?

It is and it isn't

In the same sense it could be said that you are literally not the same human being you were 7 years ago, as in that time every cell in your body has been replaced, and you are essentially a slightly flawed clone

How you think of that will help determine how you think of brain replacements

I'm still certain that when we manage to just "transfer" our brains into code, it'd just be an AI clone of you. It'd be a really easy way to develop AI though. You get the baseline and just chip off the bits that you don't like.

Which makes me think of teleportation. If it's not through wormholes (which are, for as far as i understand, invisible tunnels that can cross eachother), then we'll be deconstructed on the spot and a clone of our data will be reproduced at the destination. You would die though, so you wouldn't see the destination yourself. Just your clone.

My parents have worked their asses off their entire lives to afford a stable home for 4 children, and it has always been a matter of guilt for me that that was never enough.

I don't talk to my mom, period, and when my dad talks I don't dare share an independent opinion, lest I end up getting lectured for hours. No matter what I do, an argument between me and my dad will eventually end in him flat-out saying: "Well what you have to understand is that you're wrong and I'm right." According to my mom he apparently had anger issues before I was born.

In the past 5+ years of my life, I don't think I've heard a word out of my mother except when she's told me to do anything. Neither of my parents make any effort to be involved in my life, though they do make every effort to financially support it.

I would rather we all be stricken with poverty tomorrow and forced onto the streets, but finally have my parents accept me for who I am, then to continue going on living this safe lifestyle and not be able to look anyone I reside in the same house with in the eyes.

I want to move out again so badly.

First attempt to live with a friend went bad.
We tried to split every expenses, but that didn't work in the long run. We turned slobbish and didn't bother doing much at home, toilet paper was on low supply because we disagree'd who'd why what and when.
What worked is when we split our economy up to ourselves and only shared costs on housing (such as electricity, internet and rent).
We also didn't share everything anymore. I got my own TV in my room, made it much more personal instead of sharing our stuff.

So try to keep distance despite living together, too much of a person can ruin a relationship very fast.

You should confront them about it.

I've confronted my mother multiple times, and she's the kind of person that absolutely will not budge on her beliefs. And I'm too afraid of my father to confront him.

Honestly it's a good thing they don't try to be active in my life. Who I am is very opposite of who they are, and I think they know that. I wouldn't put it above them to disown me or kick me out, or at least try to guilt me for who I am for the rest of my life.

I've accepted that the latter will probably happen no matter what, but I'd at least like to delay it until I don't have to depend on them.

I'm pretty sure that Beijing one got disproved almost the second the "fact" came out. Don't ask me for citation because I don't save that **** , but when that was uploaded as a seperate fact here on FJ someone who lived in Beijing was all like "hell naw" and lay down the law.

She may not be cold, but she deffinately is strict and controling. But once I move, it won't be the end of it. She will be calling several times a week, just to talk.

I know I sound like a cynical bastard, but I'm just not the type to share things.

She's mostly been a good mother, but a terrible person. She does what she thinks is our best interest, but in a god awful ****** manner.

When I was younger, my curfew was always atleast an hour before everyone else's. Even when we were old enough for the other kids to not have a curfew, I still had to be home at a sertain time.
There was a small period in my puberty years, where I would stay out a litlle past curfew, like half an hour to an hour. It ended with my mom locking the door and taking the house key from it's usual hiding place, so I couldn't get in. So I had to sleep at a friends house.
The morning after she yelled at me for sleeping at my friends place.

"emerging from the WTC"

you mean from his perspective it appeared as though it was coming from the WTC. Rainbows are not projected from objects, they are simply what we see when water vapour refracts light and shows the spectrum of visible light as distinct

There should be a comp of Earth animals that kind of seem like aliens.

Kind of how that famous general guy scared the heck out of the Romans by bringing Elephants from really far away. The Roman soldiers had never seen anything like an adult Elephant before, zero frame of reference, so they were terrified of them.
