@ThisQueerBashesBack I opened the reply box to make a joke, thought for a bit and didn't have anything I felt was funny, closed it and then was like, "Waaaaaait a second…" and opened it anew. IDK if the humanoid Cylons from the new BSG actually had any mechanical bits at all? They were synthetic, but maybe 0% mechanical.

@ThisQueerBashesBack On a more serious note: What constitutes "supplimenting"? Like, is the Major from Ghost in the Shell a mechanical person supplimenting her body with organic parts because the only organics in there is he brain and stem or whatever?

@benhamill These are the kinda of questions I've been thinking about since the original question pooped into my head as I was falling into a medicated sleep.
Does my IUD make me a cyborg now?
What about metal rods/plates in people's bodies?
Do cyborgs need to have "computer" type parts, or just inorganic parts?

@ThisQueerBashesBack One distinction that I kinda like is that to be a Real Cyborg™, you have to have an after-market modification that provides a new capability or some kind. So glasses or a prosthesis don't make you a cyborg, but something that lets you "see" UV light or 3x strong synthetic muscles do. Whether IUDs or those fancy bendy foot replacements that count, IDK. Because they're at least SORT of new capabilities?

Or what about if you embed your transit card's chip in resin on your fingernail? What about your ✨phone✨?!?

At some point it devolves into Yet Another Mostly Useless Taxonomical Debate. 😜

@benhamill I personally really like the Useless Taxonomical Debates (as long as we're not using them to be assholes, of course).
After all, my partner and I regularly debate over what is and isn't a Sandwich...

@ThisQueerBashesBack We do this at Slack. I'm convinced that anything is a sandwich, at this point. 😜

@benhamill @ThisQueerBashesBack I'm a person sandwich on air-earth bread :3

@noelle @ThisQueerBashesBack Your FACE is a sandwich! (Like, open face… because… face. Ahem. I'll see myself out).

@ThisQueerBashesBack Recently, someone was like, "Is King Cake a cake?" and asserting it was just bread and then we got into the distinction between a cookie and bread and cake and eventually it devolved into that birthday cake is clearly a sandwich. 😜

@benhamill Our "test", is if it can be eaten conveniently while gambling (the Earl of Sandwich liked to gamble) and contains a "wrapping" of some kind.
