@jk "nanotechnology is not yet that advanced kthxbye"

@jk well that IS possible, it has the unfortunate side effect of also annihilating everything that is supposed to be there

@jk glad the top IQ mind lords of society at hacker news are lending their wisdom to this crisis

@jk i hate computer nerds so much

@jk Holy shit, best patent that before someone else thinks of that.

@jk oh yeah let me just run a diff and write a fucking patch for the human body on my desktop linux box

@jk "hackers"

@jk "Sure. It's called an immune system, it's already integrated into every body, and it works better than most external treatments we could possibly use. Ten out of ten doctors prefer it."

@jk wasn't this the logic behind teleportation in "The Fly"?

As in, "computers are stupid, you have to basically tell it exactly everything it needs to account for", eg, the whole person?

Didn't he get it wrong anyway? 😏

@jk that's pretty much how we deal with cancer "slash and burn"

@jk Someone has been watching too many "nanomachines, son" clips.

@jk I wonder if anyone has studied who is more ridiculous...HN or Quora

@jk

Scientists already have a precise knowledge of what the human body is made of

isn't that a Fullmetal Alchemist quote

@jk why don't they just give chemotherapy an aimbot ugh it's so simple

@jk I get a shot at the hospital and my piercings, tattoo and lunch all explode out of my body and splatter across the diagram of a skeleton on the opposite wall

@jk oh my god

hn rly is something else lol

@jk Fucking innovators will be the death of us.

@jk Hacker News is like the perfect illustration of the old maxim "a little knowledge is dangerous".

@jk I mean, if you can somehow bend your perspective to think of hooking up to a dialysis machine as "getting a shot", then kinda-sorta?

@jk hacker news, not even once

@jk yes, tequila

@jk i imagine that hacker news commenters know about as much about bodies as they know about computers

@jk give this dude a nobel prize! -_-

@jk I like to read the articles on there sometimes but the comments section really shows the bottom end of the dunning-kruger effect. There was an article last week about hospitals 3D-printing respirator parts and people were making suggestions about injection molding. Like I get that the average hn commenter probably has more 3D printing experience than the average healthcare worker, but come on? Don’t just assume they didn’t already think about it.
