Body hair is now opt-in

Ability to regrow lost teeth

Ability to go to sleep when sleep should be gone to.

Add more holes to the body.

Very short mating season. The amount of people is too god damned high.

(+) baby pouch, like marsupials'
(+) limbs regrowth capacity, like salamanders'

RFC, pull request to add git.

Reasoning: Having a built-in versioning system would allow humans to rollback undesirable changes and advancements could be made more easily

please comment or downvote if this is a bad idea

Reduce max fingernail length pls

Appetite is 100% linked to calories needed. You still enjoy food, but the moment you swallow enough calories for whatever you did since the last time you ate, you have zero appetite and anything put in front of you loses all appeal.

Terrible for survival situations, great for modern life where an abundance of food is a bigger problem than a scarcity.

No more fucking hemorrhoids!

Everyone has perfect mechanical health always.

Fix our spine and knees

Pelvises that can accommodate both upright walking AND the size of human brains without, you know, killing the humans during birth.

Iirc there are some reptiles with two sets of eyelids on each eye, the inner one being transparent, so they can close just the one while under water or in like dusty/windy conditions, but still be able to see.

Humans need in on that action.

Our bodies need some trace metals, problem is it can't differentiate between metals it needs and metals that will kill it. "Hell yeah, delicious zinc" as it noms down on lead instead of pooping it out.

replaceable parts, clorophyll, and maybe double jumps

I'd add a tail.

Make a full night's sleep like 4 hours or something. As long as our corporate overlords don't take advantage and make it a 12 hour workday.

Let me just say that if God was a city planner, he would not put a playground next to a sewage system

Let's put a cap on how much excess energy the body can store as fat. Sure, some amount is fine and has a number of uses, but just let me poop some excess calories out. I'd only need more if I were to hibernate.

Thinking on it, I want to hibernate too, please.

While we're at it from animals, how about upping some of our regeneration? Teeth don't regrow? Naw, constant regen please. I get too big of a cut and I get a scar? Let's let everything regrow from being lost if you can survive without it. Also why doesn't the brain heal? Most important part of the body and each crack's there for life. Let me get my serotonin back already, slacker.

Also what's with this getting assigned a gender thing? You don't even get to know what it means before you have one! And then we build society as if this coin flip was the seed to the tree of life. Let people choose and switch naturally, please and thank you.

Improve the birthing process so you don't have to rotate just to fit on the way out. Either make babies smaller or vaginas bigger (in which case penises would have to compensate I guess)

Maybe body odor could be an opt-in? For, like, sexy times between men who like that kind of thing...

Change that double helix into a quadruple one for extra redundancy, making it harder for it to gain irreparable damage. Also, make it a loop rather than a straight line so the ends don't get shorter with each replication. And remove that dementia bug that has a greater chance of showing up the longer run time is

Stop aging at 20

Ability to regrow lost teeth and no more wisdom teeth.
