You are bioluminescent. https://www.popularmechanics.com/science/health/a64745894/biophotons-emit-glow/
You sure?
All I want is a prehensile tail.
And wings! For, uh, reasons
I remember a Star Trek Voyager episode where Ensign Kim had sex with an alien and began to glow. If you see someone glow, they’ve been canoodling with ET.
is THIS why i’m so enraptured with tritium accessories?
We all glow in infrared.
Now I lay me down to bed
Darkness won’t engulf my head
I can see by infrared
How I hate the nightyhea, but so does any warm object.
Still technically bioluminescence
if i heat up a fossil, would it still count as bioluminescence?
Just luminescence.
they are technically still bio related.
what if I warm them with my body?
I’m out of my depth now.

Thermal conduction.
non answer, my skin is warm due to thermal conduction from the inside of the body, skin itself generates heat from metabolism, but very little compared with the organs/muscles
Thermal energy is still bioluminescence. Ask a pit viper. Sea creatures create visible light bioluminescence because they have no body temperature.
Also, I have no idea wtf you are talking about. Every living cell in your body generates heat. Correct, some cells use more energy than others but there is the identical machinery inside every cell.
Glad i’m not. Can you imagine the kind of dumb social edict that would have built up around that?
Retail Employee, on their 10th day in a row with no overtime because the schedule got thrown together at the last minute again: [briefly shining above the infrared before fading back again] Hello sir, is there anything I can help you with today?
Customer [so angry he’s strobing] How dare you! It’s bad customer service to greet me with such pitiful luminescence! I’ve never been so insulted! Where is your manager?
Today we are not only glowing in our skins in our Walmart team Bio-BlueTm tones, but with excitement for our performance reviews! Anyone glowing out of sync or the wrong will placed on our Glow Up Blue Enthusiasm Enrichment Course.
Anyone spotted feeling red will be written up. Remember to keep your home colors home.
I refuse any fantasy where we did not figure out how to change our glow colors on demand.
Humans are, it’s just very dim
There’d also probably be luminescence-based racism since different people would shine with a slightly different color.
But you already are
Total jackass genie move. Shoulda said you wanted to be bioluminescent in the spectrum visible to humans!
What if I told you, you were, but you just can’t see it. :)
Fascinating. But isn’t this akin to stripes on a tiger or zebra, just visible in a different electromagnetic spectrum?
Whereas bioluminescence involves producing/emitting light like fireflies.
You can fix it with an sight seeing tour in Chernobyl.
As someone that struggles to sleep in a room with any light; this sounds awful.
Same. Especially if your eyelids are bioluminescent!
Wasn’t a crispr kit only a few hundred euros?
You can just mail order custom crispr sequences and genes. Is it lack of knowledge or lack of fortitude that stops you?
I wonder if anyone used these yet to turn down their myostatin or something
Bro I’m Natty bro.
I earned these gains.
