I’ll start by saying that I’d get rid of the need to shit. I’m pretty sure everyone can agree that it’s unpleasant.

    Everyone’s saying the need to sleep. That goes a bit too far IMO. Who knows it would work out as we think it to be? Maybe the 33% we sleep will just be reduced off our lifespan with nothing won.
    Also, honestly, even if that wouldn’t be the case - I wouldn’t want to not sleep at all. It’s like a regular break from life. Even if employers wouldn’t exploit this, I don’t want to be awake forever.

    Now, here’s my proposal: We still need to sleep, but we can control falling asleep and waking up like it’s a muscle. Lay in bed and fall asleep anytime. No more falling-asleep issues for anyone, no more sleepless nights.
    And also, we’d have a perfect inner clock and the ability to choose when we wake up. Fall asleep at 11 PM, have to get up at 7? Great, you know exactly when 8hrs are over and are able to just wake up, no alarm needed.

    Make everyone shit rounded rare earth metal cylinders. Suddenly we don’t need Cobalt and Lithium mines any more and the worst aspects of having to poop are solved too. It’s dry and doesn’t stink, so no need for the toilet, just poop in your little collection bucket, no need for wiping and then you go on with your day.

      Squeezing a metal cylinder out my chute sounds a lot less pleasant than just pooping poop.

        Haha fair enough, I was thinking of multiple little ones not singular big ones. Think of bunny droppings or something.

    Surprised nobody said cell degradation.

    You now can live for as long as you’re not killed whilst physically keeping an appearance of an ~30 y.o. This also technically prevents cancer.

      In the end there can be only one!

      I like this, but you can’t have kids and be immortal, that’s a recipe for overpopulation.

      Would enjoy not aging past adulthood (or not past 45, that was my “vampire age”), but life has to end unless you want all the same people around forever and no or very few new ones.

    That thing when you accidentally swallow the smallest amount of spit the wrong way and start coughing like mad

    The “loosing hair where I want it to grow and growing it where I definitely don’t want it to grow” thing.

        Following the spirit of my post, I would assume that toenails would no longer receive damage and would hopefully last through a person’s lifetime.

        Side thought, it would be nice if teeth didn’t rot…

    I would like to correct the gut-brain connection. 95% of the time our gut tells our brain that it wants something, and it’s trying to say it wants water, but the brain hears that the gut is hungry.

    Remove the need to exercise, like an anaconda. The ability to just lay around doing nothing and still be ripped to the max. That would be cool!
