Fun fact: humans are actually bioluminescent, however the amount of light produced by our skin is lower than what humans can see!

It's weird true https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/1978506/

Now I wonder if we could boost the light output with gene modification

CRISPR. GFP.

You can do it, I believe in you.

GFP? Go Fuck Poland? Get fresh produce? Gerbil frat party?

GFP = Green fluorescent protein. It's an easy gene to add to just about anything.

If you really want to bioluminesce, we have the technology to make this happen.

I dunno, if the species ends up living underground because of climate change I could see it.

If only I could be so grossly incandescent.

Humans ARE bioluminescent.
