The biohack.me forums were originally run on Vanilla and ran from January 2011 to July 2024. They are preserved here as a read-only archive. If you had an account on the forums and are in the archive and wish to have either your posts anonymized or removed entirely, email us and let us know.

While we are no longer running Vanilla, Patreon badges are still being awarded, and shoutout forum posts are being created, because this is done directly in the database via an automated task.

How will this affect our community?

There's a new bill that was passed that bans "non-traditional" tattoos and piercings, stating that anything "non-traditional" must be performed by a doctor. I feel this will severely limit our movement.

   That's Arkansas only. None of the more reasonable states would do something like this. Microsoft would have to move out of Washington if something like that got passed. 

   
   

   Effects: greater density of tattoo'd and pierced individuals in urban areas as they flee the ridiculous law. Net value for us is positive :)

   I started a post on this the day it occurred. I think its a conspiracy. It sets a precedent for later restrictions. It's a preamble to the luddites wish for a transhumanist holocaust. I say we strike preemptively. I've heard of a new pharmaceutical that causes behavioral change. Apparently once it's administered people can't help but want to copulate with their cousins and sisters.... oh wait a second.
