    I think I'd edit my hair colour if it was already grey or something, and though I'd love to have blue eyes I wouldn't want my own genes to be lost forever. More of my dad's genes could show up in my child and that may not happen if I edit mine.

    it'd only work to modify children before their DNA is expressed to RNA and used to form their bodies

    heavy metal is a buzz word,

    they're all heavy, it's metal.

    Comparative to what? Lithium isn't heavy...that's why it's used in drone/phone batteries etc.

    It's contained in rocks so I don't know about that. I never really considered the weight of lithium

    I know tin and aluminum are lighter
    I thought alkaline metals were pretty heavy

    also depends how you define heavy I guess like 1lb of lithium vs 1lb of copper, idk I think it would be similar



    I have not memorized the periodic table, but I do know every crafting recipe in minecraft and all the dwarf fortress hotkeys

    I'd say it's generally defined by the usefulness of each...1lb of lithium is much more useful than 1lb of copper.

    I thought heavy was just another word for "dirty and big"

    At least that's how all the city building simulation games treat it

    You should prolly just delete your genes.

    Lithium, sodium, and potassium all float in water.
