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
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.
Pelvises that can accommodate both upright walking AND the size of human brains without, you know, killing the humans during birth.
5v USB charging port.
Obsolete in a decade, so make it hot-swappable.
(Because cold-swappable requires a shutdown)
This would actually be amazing, calories-powered, you can charge your phone and also burn calories at the same time
Periods. Fuck periods. There has to be a better way.
Back to monke
Would complete immunity to radiation be a small change?
Would it actually be detrimental in the long run?
Pros: No more cancer
Cons: No more natural evolution
Kidney stones, gallstones, whatever the fuck the body does of “Lets build a rock inside the body that can fuck us up” needs to stop.
Better foreign body-own body recognition by immune system. No more auto-immune, no allergies, MS, Lupus.
No more cancer please.
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.
chef’s kiss perfect list.
Just make us all shape shifters so we can do whatever we want.
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.
I’d like extra thumbs please
For this one there’s actually technology in development right now.
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.
Ability to absorb the water in our bladder back into our body. I guess somehow poop out the solids
