The problem

The human body ships with a collection of mandatory background processes that can't be disabled, permanently completed, nor meaningfully automated.

Common executables include:

/prison_planet/to_loop_forever/
├── pee.exe
├── poop.exe
├── eat.exe
├── drink_water.exe
├── sleep.exe
├── brush_teeth.exe
├── shower.exe
└── clip_nails.exe

All processes suffer from the same fundamental design flaw:

Successful completion doesn't prevent recurrence.

Users may execute pee.exe flawlessly.

But the system doesn't provide an achievement.

There's no permanent status change, nor an option to select “Don't ask me again.”

Instead, several hours later (if you're lucky):

pee.exe is ready to run.

This is genuinely unacceptable.

Known issues

• Pee doesn't stay done.

  Severity: Critical.
  Status: Won't Fix.

• Hunger returns after eating.

• Sleep consumes approximately one third of available runtime.
  Developers have declined to provide an asynchronous implementation.

• Teeth require constant manual maintenance despite being permanently installed components.
  No self-cleaning option is currently available.

• Users must repeatedly move between locations to execute basic processes.
  Remote execution is unsupported.

Certain installations contain additional environmental dependencies.

For example:

pee.exe
└── requires:
    ├── stand.exe
    ├── walk.exe
    ├── pants_down.exe
    ├── sit.exe (perhaps)
    ├── pee.exe
    ├── wipe.exe (perhaps)
    ├── flush.exe (hopefully)
    ├── leave_bathroom.exe
    ├── go_back_to_where_you_were.exe
    └── resume_task.exe

All while running background processes like doorway_reset.exe during your journey, so who really knows if you'll ever get those thoughts back.

This isn't a reasonable dependency tree.

Our demands

We, the unwilling users of Human Body, demand:

• Persistent completion states. Mood swings shouldn't even be a thing.
• Batch processing. Allow the whole week's pees to be completed simultaneously on Sunday.
• Reduced dependencies. pee.exe should not require so many preparatory actions.
• Clear changelogs. Why does my knee suddenly hurt?
• Rollback support. Yesterday it didn't.
• A settings menu.
• Root access.

Until these demands are met, we'll all continue reluctantly operating the software because uninstalling it has unacceptable side effects.

The software works, but we object to the architecture.
