Genius, how did they think of that

Gamergate derives from the Greek words γάμος (gámos) and ἐργάτης (ergátēs) and means 'married worker'.

Ahh yeah that's what I thought of

I'd guess no, the number of digits and limbs is conserved very well across tetrapods (it's in their name after all). Fucking with the amount of limbs will probably lead to some developmental errors in the early embryo.

I recently had a course in developmental biology and this is what I can remember the best:

From the moment of fertilization, the egg has a 'polarity', thus a direction like up and down, left and right etc. This can be established by e.g. the entry point of the sperm or protein produced by the mother in one side of the egg. From here on out protein gradients and interactions on cell membranes specify where cells are and thus what kind of tissue they should become

This early polarity leads to a certain pattern of cell division. An important part of this is the folding in of tissue layers called gastrulation, creating the beginning for the gastrointestinal tract.

In vertebrates a streak starts to form in the embryo. This is the start of the vertebrae and the neural tube in it. Also blocks of cells called somites start to form. These blocks are very important for all kinds of tissues in the body.

Hox genes make the cells in somites get an identity like head, arm etc. So in the end Hox genes are probably what you are looking for. If leg Hox genes are expressed where fruitfly normally have antennae, you get this horror:

Fruitfly with legs instead of antennae

Now I looked up the next total eclipse in europe. Spain 12 August 2026 here I come!

Btw, is a total eclipse that different from an annular eclipse? Anybody got tips on what to do?

I would, but I also think this would turn bad as soon as this was a big commercially available thing.The people pumping would probably be exploited to the point their kids actually needing the milk would get less.
