gollark: Maybe you need a few examples to prompt it with.
gollark: Humans are missing lots of senses other animals have. IR/UV vision, good smell, magnetic compass support, the weird electric field detector in I think sharks, polarised light sensing from cuttlefish, working low light vision (via actually having a sane eye design), probably others.
gollark: I read a convincing reddit post about how weightlifting was excellent for health etc. in 2019 or so, then proceeded to entirely ignore it forever.
gollark: Gene guns are no longer trendy, cool people use something something CRISPR.
