10 manipulator fun facts
14 years ago
Here's some random info:
1) Manipulators only eat one meal per day: Dinner (or supper, depending on where you are). It's usually eaten about an hour before going to sleep.
2) The amount of food that is recommended for a non-milk producing manipulator to eat at dinner is 1.25x their biological body mass. Keep in mind that biological body mass only makes up about 55-60% of the average manipulators total body mass; the rest is mechanical.
[NOTE: A milk producing manipulator is a manipulator who is over 7 years old, and who eats more than 1.5x their biological body mass each day. The recommended for non-producing is 1.25x, but a manipulator can eat up to 1.5x without making any milk.]
3) The average dinner for an average manipulator is about 2.5x their biological body mass. No usable nutrition is wasted; whatever isn't used by the body is turned into milk!
4) For a manipulator to build up excess fat, they would have to eat over 4x their biological body mass every day. Most manipulators can't even fit that in their stomachs! Therefore, most of the time it's only their tail getting fatter as it swells with milk.
5) It's very common in manipulator society for friends and family to drink each others milk when hanging out. It's very enjoyable for both parties, and is also a necessary occurrence. Milk producing manipulators need to be milked periodically for the same reason that cows need to be milked. It hurts if they have too much.
6) Manipulators rarely enjoy drinking their own milk, though they will drink it if they need a little nutritional boost during the day and can't find any other means of getting it.
7) Despite only being able to digest food while sleeping, a manipulators body can process fluids at any time. Because of this, stores you see while walking on the street in a manipulator city will sell a ton of drinks and almost no food. Food can be delivered straight to a family's house, or can be bought at Costco-esque warehouses. Delivery is more common, given the vast quantity of food bought by a family at one time.
8) Only about 30% of an ingested meal (not counting the portion turned into milk) is used by the biological body. The rest of the nutrients is burned by small generators while sleeping, and cached in a battery to power the manipulators mechanical body.
9) Because manipulators don't have lungs to occupy the space, the chest area houses both the Data Core, it's enclosure, and the amplifier which projects the Data Stream. Also in there are the generators and the battery they charge.
10) The generators are the most complex meshing of machine-and-biology in the manipulator body. Biological muscles pump blood very quickly through several parallel turbines, which create electricity. Because of how it works, the generators are collectively considered a manipulators "heart."

You loser, we've been discussing manipulators for about a year now and you still don't know how they work!? XD
