    I dont think humans have enough surface area to get enough energy to function.

    Way better idea is completely abandoning our weak flesh and becoming electricy powered machines

    What about people with skin conditions op? Don’t get me wrong, I fully support suntarians and I would go suntarian too but I’ll get sunburnt. Do you really think we can all just afford sunscreen, how bourgeois lib of you? Its a systematic issue, we can’t force other animals to photosynthesise like us can we? and personal responsibility is lib! It’s my culture to stay in my parents basement and scream at my mum for doggo tendies.

    There's a Margaret Atwood series called MaddAddam where genetically engineered people can do just that.

    Actually I'm just gonna plug those books while I'm at it - great read if you like cli fi post apocalyptic with dark humor.

    Sunscreen is made by the big food lobby to stop you from photosynthesizing

    Sunscreen on when we feel bloated, sunscreen off when hungry

    I had a textbook once that had a section about a sci-fi future where some people were green and photosynthesized. It would definitely be super cool. You'd still need to eat and drink water (just like plants still need nutrition and water from the soil), mostly for nitrogen (plants depend on nitrogen-fixing bacteria to be able to make amino acids for proteins), but your energy needs would be 100% taken care of.

    Didn't this happen in an anime? Iirc it mostly served as an excuse for the main character to stumble across naked women sunbathing and then he'd get a :bonk: on the head

    Edit: it was Knights of Sidonia
