Body mods that look good in the traditional sense are generally called plastic/cosmetic surgery. Breast implants, face lifts, hair implants, etc. are the same idea as body mods, just with the goal of achieving a more mainstream idea of beauty.

I’m honestly shocked this hasn’t happened already. How can a world class museum not have a centralised inventory of all its items?
The shortest song I ever found at a karaoke place was You Suffer by Napalm Death. It’s 1.3 seconds long.
For what it’s worth the UK uses mph and we’ve had the Internet for a little while now too, and here e-scooters are technically illegal to ride anywhere other than on private land, i.e. not on pavement, on bike lanes or on the road.
The exception is if you’re in one of the cities which is operating a “trial” rental scheme, in which case the rental company will let you know where they think you should ride. But I believe even in those areas privately owned e-scooters remain illegal to use in public.
Well I certainly wouldn’t want to change my pupils without their consent, that’s for sure!
FYI the English name of that cask is “tun”.
The bicycle industry really needs to settle on a singe bottom bracket standard. It’s not like there’s a significant difference in performance from the million different variations. An industry-standard rear derailleur hanger would also save a lot of headaches where people try to hunt down a replacement for a frame that’s been out of production for years.
This has always been the case in the UK and I hate it. My city actually planned on banning it on two of the busiest roads in the city (because obviously people constantly pulling in and out of traffic will always make it worse), but the drivers protested and now the plan is scrapped.
Fun fact, most car advertising uses a computer generated car. Photoreal cars bave been achievable for years now and it just makes sense for them to do it as they can keep it looking flawless throughout the ad. There’s even a “mocap” car with an adjustable body to match the length/width etc. of the car it’s supposed to be that they can just pin the model to.
I don’t think it would be up to us to decide if it is acceptable or not. We don’t ask the cow if they think it’s okay that we take their milk, their skin, their meat. Likewise, I doubt a more advanced alien species would bother asking for our permission if they decided they had a use for us.
On a more philosophical point though, there’s also the matter of sentience. As far as we’re aware the animals we use for food, labour, etc. don’t have the mental capacity to really understand the situation they find themselves in. They can’t process and understand the fact that they are being used. As we are a species that can, the chances that we’d let another species, even one more advanced than us, exploit us without resisting are probably pretty low.
I know we’re dealing with human aliens, but there is actually a thing called takotsubo cardiomyopathy, also known as “broken heart syndrome”, where your heart weakens as a result of emotional trauma.
It is rarely fatal, but deaths have occurred as a result of it.
You need headphones with multipoint functionality. If your current pair can’t connect to multiple sources at once already then you may need to buy new ones that can.
