You could always use monkey-patching

Drugs, I'm talking about drugs. 🫠

  • bug fix: you can now go to a room without forgetting the reason you went there

No you don't. You want to learn how to properly run your hardware.

  • anxiety serves a purpose, forces your fight or flight response, develops survival instinct

  • memory is not meant to be heidetic as not everything is vital information; you want to remember what you had for lunch when you were 3 years old, on a tuesday, mid january?

  • failures are more important than successes; failure teaches you what does not work.

Run your hardware better. Have some therapy, try to sleep more/better and go for a daily walk.

Cursed Monkey Paw:

Wish Granted. You get regular firmware updates, just like HP printers do.

[-] vagrantprodigy@lemmy.whynotdrs.org 11 points 2 years ago

No thanks, seen too many bad updates to want to let myself get bricked by a bad update.

I'd give my left nut for the allergy update.

Just open source the code. Let me hack on it.

[-] 0x0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 2 years ago

I'm afraid we lost the source code long ago, we've just been stochastically binary patching for a few billion years. At least there's a disassembler: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/projects/genome/guide/human/

-new bug: Due to forgetting of past failure, there is now reoccurring failures.

[-] Shelbyeileen@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago

Isn't this technically a vaccine? I suppose that's more like Avast for your body

[-] Atemu@lemmy.ml 10 points 2 years ago

It's more of a malware definitions update for the antivirus your body already ships with.

[-] darcy@sh.itjust.works 7 points 2 years ago

"already ships with" 💀

[-] Alperto@lemmy.ml 9 points 2 years ago

Reading books, studying, learning new things, is our way to update our firmware to make new things, or give us new tools to fight anxiety or depression.

Also, to improve your math skills, you have to do maths often, and the brain will get better at it.

The brain is like a muscle that you can train to become stronger at things that hurt you or better at things that you need.

This is the meditation update that you're looking for

[-] med@sh.itjust.works 8 points 2 years ago

Sure, but you always download the latest bugs.

-known issue: audio skips every 10s

[-] Aielman15@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

Fixed a bug where the human would sometimes procrastinate too much, saying "It's a problem of my future self".

[-] Bad_Rats@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago

Eh, I'll put it on the back log

[-] Zozano@aussie.zone 6 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Can I get a perceived attractiveness buff plz

Also, combined sex and waste organs; awful idea.

Human babies need a buff, they're functionally useless for far too long. Other mammals can stand immediately.

Way too many incompatible preference traits. Cheese being delicious but also requiring to enslave another being for manufacturing, with a 50/50 chance it makes your asshole explode. Way too chaotic.

You can. I go on a 2 week Mahasi vipassana silent meditation retreat each year and each time the release notes make it worth the time and effort. Also like running defrag on a disk that has been defragged regurlarly, it runs smoother each time, making the whole experience much more pleasurable.

Release notes last retreat:

  • Fixed approval seeking issue due to lack of approval by clueless dad during teenage years
  • Reduced day dreaming by 10% by recognizing mechanisms that lead to day dreaming
  • Optimized routines for dealing with tough situations
  • Increased mindfulness by eliminating several mechanisms that lead to mindlesness
  • Discovered access to high concentration states that likely will lead to more discoveries
  • Fixed loneliness issue due to missed update
  • Fixed part of a (self and others) judgement issue. More work on this issue needed.

The above is a pretty accurate representation of the results I got.

No, you actually say you want to solve your problems without any work from your part, sorry no can do.

Even for a firmware update somebody has to code and work in the background, only the update process itself it's simpler (if you don't consider the work involved in creating the update mechanism and infrastructure itself).

Showerthoughts

33800 readers
531 users here now

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.

Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. No politics
    • If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
    • A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct and the TOS

If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.

Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.
