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
RFC, pull request to add git.
Reasoning: Having a built-in versioning system would allow humans to
rollbackroll back undesirable changes and advancements could be made more easilyplease comment or downvote if this is a bad idea
Being able to shoot lasers from my tits would be cool.
A lot of great ideas here, but also sinus are such a terrible design. Please no more sinuses.
Balls should be behind a thick bone. Essentially not so temperature dependant to facilitate this.
- avian lungs and eyes

- Separate holes for eating and breathing
- Separate sewage system from entertainment complex

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.
Redesign the spine for vertical use. Don’t put the eating and breathing tubes on either side of the same flap.
We should have tons of little breathing holes all over.
Imagine if no one snored?
No more biting down on my tongue or cheeks when eating. Most annoying glitch ever.
Optimised learning throughout our entire life. Better focus and improved memory to take in knowledge more effectively
No age related ball sag.
You never forget the first time you sit on your balls
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.
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.
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.
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.
