Greetings folks! Did somebody say fungus bots? its time to spore some trouble i guess :) ok it wasnt funny i get it.. Anyways meet with new fungus based biohybrid bot..

before i start to explain how its works lets take a look at its backstory shall we?

The idea was almost age old actually, experimentation of soft body robotics and bio robotics and today its reshape as we see biohybrid robotics with the search for more sustainable, self-healing, and biodegradable materials. Traditional robots are often made from synthetic materials and metals, which can be rigid, non-biodegradable, and challenging to repair. The researchers at Cornell University sought to overcome these limitations by integrating biological elements into robotic systems.

The team turned to mycelium, the root-like structure of fungi, which has the unique ability to grow, self-repair, and biodegrade. Mycelium is also known for its strength and flexibility, making it an ideal candidate for use in soft robotics. By embedding mycelium within a network of sensors and actuators, the researchers created a biohybrid bot capable of sensing its environment and responding to stimuli, all while being environmentally friendly.

This fungus bot represents a significant step towards more sustainable robotics, demonstrating how living organisms can be harnessed to create innovative and eco-friendly technologies. The research also opens up possibilities for robots that can grow, adapt, and repair themselves in ways that conventional robots cannot, potentially revolutionizing fields such as environmental monitoring, agriculture, and even healthcare.

there is four actual elements that actually runs this bot besides of shell.

Fungus's Mycelium

Fungus's slug

UV light or UV array in the sun light

Electricity (it seperates as fungus related electrical pulse and electricity waves from censors)

firstly lets start with fungus mycelium: Mycelia are the underground vegetative part of mushrooms, and they have a number of advantages. They can grow in harsh conditions. They also have the ability to sense chemical and biological signals and respond to multiple inputs. so basically its neural system that transfers certain commands of activities between root and fungus itself

its slug is basically fungus's cell system or actual biohybrid organism it this case

once mycelium gets affected by UV lights it generates small electricity pulses to slug system and when slugs gets electrocuted by these pulses it acts like a muscle basically and it causes the slug to move or contract its muscles to activate.

and once you figure out how you gonna shape its muscle system and house them carefully you will have a "biohybrid robot" as their terms

the reason im taking this now is it reminded me "Fungus Baby Experiments" which is an inside name for series of projects that been continued for a while after corona until now.. Simply, the goal was to create or adapt an organism to thrive in different environments and make sure these environments livable by humans in the future by manipulating with artificial and external factors. Google it :)

anyways.. thats all from me this time..

until next time..

Hi! The option to embed Tweets, that automatically adds alt text, is very practical, and I seriously appreciate it. It has some imperfections though, such as not including the text of the quoted Tweet (when applicable) or, when the Tweet includes an image that itself has alt text, not including said alt text. Is it technically possible to add these functions in the future?

Answer: Hey there, @aseriesofunfortunatejan!

We’d love to improve the alt text we add to embedded Tweets! Unfortunately, we’re only able to use the text that Twitter sends us through their oEmbed API, and they don’t include the text of quoted tweets—or the alt text of images in the Tweet.

Over on WordPress.com, we used to have a more powerful Twitter integration: we were experimenting with using it to improve Tweet embeds on Tumblr. Sadly, Twitter decided to start charging everyone prohibitively large fees to access their API in this way, which meant we had to shut it all down. It’s the same reason we had to shut down sharing to Twitter from Tumblr, too.

We’re eternal optimists, so we’ve built Tweet embedding to be pretty flexible. Should Twitter ever decide to expand the text that they send us, we’ll start using it automatically.

Whelp, this may explain why I feel so terrible. Hoping it doesn’t mean a return of the cancer, but instead a need to adjust my meds. Google tells me it significantly increases my risk of heart attack and stroke. Super.

yes yes the agony of heartbreak, the anguish of unrequited love is all good and fine, but have you ever overshot a titration?

I love them.

I had a really big scary blood draw today with like 12 tubes taken from me and he was there the whole time very supportive scooby

me any time I like a character: hmm what if they were also in a lab. what then. what if they were the subject of unethical experimentation. what if their body and mind were owned as a medical resource leading them to always feel like a freak and chronically fear losing their autonomy. wouldn't that be fascinating. btw I am normal and do not have trauma nor autism

Testing, testing, testing.

“In alchemy, all sorts of substances with various properties might be used, both magical and chemical. Some of them can influence the alchemist’s mood or behavior. But that being said, if your main concern is Satan’s recent disposition and wellbeing, I imagine the explanation you’re seeking is a bit less…esoteric.”

Wow, after over seven months of silence, I've finally released another chapter of my godforsaken nightmare creation that haunted me every day I was away, whispering in my ear, telling me of all the narrative foibles I would inevitably make as the story approaches its climax, but even though you're paralyzed by fear of failure, you can't just sit there and watch Jujutsu Kaisen because I'm going to make you feel guilty about it Satan-centric Obey Me!: Nightbringer fanfic!
