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
Body hair is now opt-in
Yes! With the ability change your mind please!
Ability to regrow lost teeth
*if teeth are in a regular position.
Just as long as I don’t grow my wisdom teeth back. I don’t want to have to have those removed again.
How about repeated full replacement every 5-10 years?
I love the idea of adults with loose teeth as their tenth set of teeth comes in.
Sorry my performance has been below average lately, boss, I’m just getting my 8th set of teeth.
“Hey, go easy on Jim, he’s teething this week.”
I don’t know. That could become tiresome.
Had one lower molar pulled recently 🥹
Ability to go to sleep when sleep should be gone to.
Or the ability to forgo sleep indefinitely. I’ve got too much shit I want to do and too little time.
Let’s apply RPG sleep rules.
You can go for weeks without sleep, but when you do sleep, you awaken fully healed.
Add more holes to the body.
What, do pores not count?
no holes for you
For what?
I’m not that picky about their primary function.
Goddamn ear fuckers.

Very short mating season. The amount of people is too god damned high.
Or just have a built in birth control switch that has zero side effects. Of course, it would have to be entirely controlled by the individual so as not to turn into some dystopian population control mechanism.
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

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.
Yes, but with a tweak.
Being able to tell how much food you need in advance would be better, so that instead of thinking that you’re really hungry and piling your plate, you only buy or prepare as much food as you need. That would cut down on food waste too.
Maybe it could be based on the average daily calories used each day over the past month to replenish exactly what’s been used plus predict ahead until the next meal time?
No more fucking hemorrhoids!
Everyone has perfect mechanical health always.
Pelvises that can accommodate both upright walking AND the size of human brains without, you know, killing the humans during birth.
This is why I was writing : “(+) baby pouch, like marsupials’ …”
Fix our spine and knees
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.
5v USB charging port.
This would actually be amazing, calories-powered, you can charge your phone and also burn calories at the same time
