#HotTake: implanting pointless shit under your skin doesn’t make you a “cyborg” just because you have a microchip inside you. It’s not an enhancement if its not fucking connected to anything, Acid Burn. Just write the contents of that shitty RFID on your skin in sharpie, save some cash.

And for fuck’s sake, maybe sit back for a moment and consider the implications of ascribing the oncoming future to that trivial shit. A fucking radio tag that plays a MIDI of the ghostbusters tune when somebody scans the web of your thumb is the herald of the oncoming cyborg future? Not, like, the people literally seeing through digital cameras? The folks with advanced prosthetic legs outsprinting top baseline athletes? Y’all suuuuure about that?

@Nentuaby "biohackers" makes me cranky, bc they never consider "mundane" thinks like synthetic drugs... or things that are concrete but don't glow under the skin.

I mean, every fall I have a stranger jab me with a needle and it keeps me from getting the flu, a disease which has probably killed billions of humans throughout history. That's pretty fucking cyberpunk.

@Nentuaby Implanting a magnet that lets you feel magnetic fields is adding an extra sense, and that’s pretty cyberpunk. As is having that magnet rip through your flesh when you get into an accident and your unconscious body is put into an MRI.

@mithriltabby Yeah, that particular trick is more legit-- still *mostly* trivial, as it doesn't particular give you more capability than like... Dangling the same magnet on a string and looking at it. But its hack value is non-zero.

I'm mostly talking about "data implants" and two-part proximity triggers that could more easily have been implemented entirely within the external device.
