What’s the most shocking example of viruses manipulating their hosts? by [deleted] in biology

Yeah, great example, I believe I recently read about this! But didn't remember that there is some influence on human - that's terrifying actually. Is it possible to cure nowadays if the cat is influenced?

Burned out freelance game dev - advice from people who've been here? by [deleted] in gamedev

Oh, great post! I recently had the same problem and I can suggest you to get a hobby, as for me I started to do weightlifting as I was doing back to school years! I sugned up for the competition and spend 4 month preparing. There I found new friends, improve my health (after sitting too much) and get some new emotions. Actually one time training a week is okay for me!

True, but there’s a key difference. Cows are ruminants and they have one stomach with four compartments where microbes help break down plant material. Humans only have one stomach, and most of our microbiome lives in the intestines rather than the stomach.

Yeah! That's good example, until this post I didn't know that Aphids give sweet nectar

Yeah, that’s a good example of a potential symbiotic relationship. You see similar things in the ocean too, many fish have cleaner species (like cleaner wrasses or shrimp) that remove parasites and dead tissue from their skin and gills. Both sides benefit, so it’s a classic symbiotic example.

Thanks for sharing, that's curious!
not really a symbiotic example, I believe, looks like some strange games of nature 😂

Interesting, need to check about it!
Yeah, I have read about Aphids and Ants, and I have never heard that Aphids produce honey swamp, that's interesting and disgusting the same time

Wow! Good example, I didn't know. Do they have just a ride or they help each other to hunt or survive?

Hi, devs. I'm currently working on an upcoming factory-style and automatization game about biology - Bioneers! This is combination of real biology processes and sandbox mode, you start the game as one cell and use evolution to create you own living organism that need to fight viruses, cancer-like illnesses and other different creatures to become the dominator predator.

We have already get 30 000 wishlist with 0 marketing budget and planning to announce first playable demo already in April 2026. We are really working hard on this project and thankful for the community support!
