#34I was once asked what drugs I had taken, which confused me because I had taken none. A mirror inspection revealed that my pupils were hella dialated, for no apparent reason. "On command" seems a plausible stretch from "spontaneously for no reason."

#40And some can see a fappilion more colors than the rest (terrachromats), and now COVID has caused some people to lose their sense of smell.. :( Maybe in the future we’ll have to target products and services for wildly different human hardware just as we have to do now for age, sex, computers etc. “This product is only for people with Level 2 Eyes”
