This is the future we deserve. Everyone wears a ball gown, everyone can fuck anyone who's down. Transhumanist mushroom future is the future we need.

Sign me up for this genre of solarpunk.
Shroompunk? Myceliumpunk?
Terrance was right
Unfamiliar with Terrance. Splain?
Terence McKenna's theory was that mushrooms where Extraterrestrials.
And that we would eventually choose the same form.
Oh, I do know him. Just didn't make the connection. Which was dumb of me. Lol.
Imagine the size of their fucking flag.
That's the glorious thing about the rainbow. It contains all (visible) colors. (Obviously the pride flag is limited to stripes of distinct colors, but it's supposed to be representative of everything.)
I guess the flag could be made into a gradient, that would show more of all the possible distinct colours, but that may be impractical to make into actual flags.
New pride flag is just the rectangular color selector
What about magenta though?
Seems a bit shortsighted and bigoted to only include visible colors considering I identify as an xray.
Oh it is there but we can't see it
Infrared checking in.

Just go to any other country. Many countries and cultures historically have a third gender, so bounce around a little and you'll realize how illogical and weird the puritanicals in the states are.
Really? As long as you're not talking about grammatical gender, that's news to me and very interesting. Examples?
Edit: Thanks for both links! I'll read through it later.
A culture recognizing a third gender does not in itself mean that they were valued by that culture, and often is the result of explicit devaluation of women in that culture.[11]
You seemed to be presenting this as a way of scoring those cultures above others, so I thought it would be pertinent to point out this quote.
Wasn't me, but like most things in life, nothing is black and white. For what it's worth, often means that it's simply common, not necessarily an implied majority.
How do they differentiate these mating types and what separate things do they contribute to the life cycle?
From the Wikipedia page:
It has 23,328 distinct mating types. Individuals of any mating type are compatible for mating with most other mating types. There are two genetic loci determining the mating type, locus A with 288 alleles and locus B with 81 alleles. A pair of fungi will only be fertile if they have different A and different B alleles; that is, each mating type can enter fertile pairings with 22,960 others.
Progressive open minded mycologist: "Which of the 23,328 sexes are you?"
Me: "Stop trying to put me in a box!!!" 💃
Real Douglas Adams vibe off this.
I read "how can I score an invite to these panties" lmao
And when you fill out a form you get a phonebook full of options to choose from. As a human at least you don't have to specifically define yourself, if you get the option "other".
Real life cognito hazard?
Pecan trees are effectivly similar. In order to have pecans you have to have 2 tree that are ready at the same time of the year. Otherwise you get no pecans
Well, that's one way to enable autogamy; not having both sexes but having thousands of sexes.
I imagine it is awesome for genetic diversity too
