In a way this feels less like inventing something new and more like rediscovering and formalizing old techniques with modern safety constraints

It's important in these cases to preserve the lineage of where they came from.

There's a tendency to start calling them 'western medicine' and crediting it to the person who formalized it in the west rather than the source culture where it has existed for centuries.

The conversation is bit 2010, but the point still stands.

It's probably a mix of "this species happens to be unusually well-suited" and "this is the species people bothered to study rigorously first."

The fact that tilapia skin was basically waste, yet turns out to have higher collagen content, better tensile strength, and better moisture retention than human skin is kind of remarkable

Motion sensors and push plates aren't perfect, but they remove the contact vector entirely instead of trying to mitigate it after the fact

Where I think this kind of idea tries to make its case is in places where cleaning is infrequent, inconsistent, or happens long after peak use

This feels like a thoughtful engineering project and a strong competition entry yet without a clear niche

This is exactly where the policy starts to get murky

Electronic music history is basically a graveyard of "this isn't real music" takes that aged badly

There's something magical about picking music based purely on a cover or a vague vibe and taking a chance on it

There's something genuinely satisfying about owning the music again instead of just passively streaming whatever an algorithm decides to surface
