    My understanding is people who make hardware upgrades to their body:

    • ametur surgery to add a magnet to your index finger
    • taking eye enzymes from cave fish and injecting it into a friends eye rk get short term super night vision
    • attaching two prosthetic legs that makes you run faster and longer
    • open source hardware and software for an artificial pancreas

    Stuff like that

        I heard of people putting small metal ball bearings under their skin, that sounds extremely dumb and unpleasant tho

      Isnt it also stuff lime taking supplements and steroids. From what I’ve seen there is almost no reason not to take testosterone and become enhanced.

        Testosterone is a hormone. Excess testosterone causes heart issues. (I am not familiar all with current steroids). Injecting crap into eyes can easily cause damage. Ametur surgery has a lot of scarring. Deaths from feedback loops of a diabetic coma with artificial kidneys happen. There is a lot of risk with “bio hacking” and a lot of “supplements” are either dangerous or snake oil
