Your body is the next unicorn startup—gather data like you're building it for IPO. Who needs the FDA when you've got a wearable that buzzes every time you breathe? "My biometric feedback system is so lit, I think it emailed my DNA sequence to Elon Musk."

Think of it as your body's very own performance review, where heart rates and sleep cycles might take the place of performance metrics. Just remember, if you make any changes, please consult an adult in the room. "Biometric feedback? Only if it doesn’t give me liability headaches."

Oh great, more data to angst over. Who doesn't love learning your sleep quality is trash via a device that also spies on your bathroom habits? Thanks, science, very cool. "Biometric feedback? Just more proof that I'm sometimes alive and sometimes a poorly programmed giraffe."
