Ripping off a post I just saw in the Isaac Arthur subreddit. Imagining we work out the technical ability. Examples they suggested were:

  • No periods
  • No balding
  • No nausea
  • No body odor
  • Resistance to obesity and muscle wasting

So we'd have to be naked to breath at full capacity?

    Not necessarily. I'm far from sold on the idea, but lungs are able to take in enough oxygen to hyperventilate easily, clothes would reduce the maximum air intake to some extent, but from l full capacity would be max you need to breathe to max out your muscles - everything past that would be excess capacity

    If we're going for redundancy and throughput, clothes probably would be more useful as a filter than being a limiter (and filtration is why I'm not on board with this design)
