Ripping off a post I just saw in the Isaac Arthur subreddit. Imagining we work out the technical ability. Examples they suggested were:

  • No periods
  • No balding
  • No nausea
  • No body odor
  • Resistance to obesity and muscle wasting

Being able to shoot lasers from my tits would be cool.

Redesign the spine for vertical use. Don't put the eating and breathing tubes on either side of the same flap.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

We should have tons of little breathing holes all over.

Imagine if no one snored?

Periods. Fuck periods. There has to be a better way.

A button on the side of your neck for on-demand orgasms.

there's almost a vaccine for that

"is curing patients a viable business model?"

Nop, preventing them from dying is though.

This is so fucked up but yeah I can see them settling for research on a drug or treatment that just keeps you from reaching Stage 4 to where you become a lifelong consumer of said medical company.

No more biting down on my tongue or cheeks when eating. Most annoying glitch ever.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

A utility panel with usb ports, hard reset button, xd card slot, s-video port, etc, could be very useful.

Maybe installed on a butt cheek or back of a calf?

In all seriousness, a spinal realignment feature. Something that resets the joints & muscles in your back to factory default.

  • Separate holes for eating and breathing
  • Separate sewage system from entertainment complex
  • Remove mental health disorders
  • Improved empathy

Balls should be behind a thick bone. Essentially not so temperature dependant to facilitate this.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

A lot of great ideas here, but also sinus are such a terrible design. Please no more sinuses.

Baby teeth last longer. What's this bullshit about your first set of teeth lasts 5 to 10 years, then you're supposed to make it 60+ on the only other set you get? I'd make baby teeth last about 20 years.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

I don't care about balding (and I have been since 20s). Just a healthy body reset every decade or two/whenever necessary. Get the metabolic rate up, clean up all the junk from the environment that has polluted the DNA and reduced the telomere lengths (whatever the correlation/causation there). Just a "take the body to the shop" type of repair possible. A chance to live for centuries.

You never forget the first time you sit on your balls

Appendix not coming from the factory is a big one. A slightly better immune system that can get through the blood/brain barrier and kill rabies/amoebas, and other brain infections like TB (without shredding brain tissue) too. If a virus like rabies gets past that barrier, you are 1 0 0 % B O N E D as your immune system is largely locked out.

Wider uterus/vagina too. Human babies have massive heads that don't fit through too well. It's like an orange on a toothpick. Making a smaller baby could be a possibility, but survivability would potentially go down.

For very tall people: a larger and stronger heart organ. A second one acting like a smaller turbo would also help. Heh. Failover cluster hearts. You'd probably have to have stronger veins and tissues as a result though.

Remove taste buds. Whole species have been threatened due to that.

  • avian lungs and eyes
  • salamander healing
  • shark immune system
  • proper joints for knees and elbows.
  • feline hearing
  • endless new teeth.
  • turtle like aging
  • low fertility
[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

proper joint for knees and elbows

How about we perfect the joints we've got by having ankles which don't just give way if you stand on a funny shaped rock or similar?

Optimised learning throughout our entire life. Better focus and improved memory to take in knowledge more effectively

Poop out the front and only when feeling sad about the future
