No. My adaptations are definitely intentional. All that sandbox-world gaming is training, for when I will be stuck inside a ~70 m^3 volume with several other people, simultaneously mining for vital resources and additional living volume using a remotely-operated robot that is not quite ready for fully autonomous operation yet.
It will totally be worth lifting 250kg of human adipose tissue into LEO, I swear. If the food supply fails, you'll need someone that can survive without it until the next available harvest. Not that I weigh that much now, but with some intensively sedentary neckbearding, I can probably get that high by the time we're ready to launch.

I'm not typically a fan of unanchored humor on HN as Reddit has more than enough to go around, but I commend you on turning "neckbeard" into a verb.
This sounds close to the neck beard trope, of people living in their parents basement and never seeing sunlight. Could we inadvertently be adapting to a Martian or Lunar environment?
