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
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
dual redundancy for every organ, and the ability for a damaged or removed organ to grow back.
Dual opposable thumbs, now we can grab and open the water bottle with one hand!
Balls should be behind a thick bone. Essentially not so temperature dependant to facilitate this.
Just have them where the ovaries are, since they came from the same proto organ anyway.
Mine are…
very poor choice of words…
Back to monke
Definetly periods, stupid design and incredibly rare in mamals anyway.
Also, a change of our metabolism, our current way to deal with excess energy is outdated. And maybe make us resistant to cancers, that shit sucks.

Better foreign body-own body recognition by immune system. No more auto-immune, no allergies, MS, Lupus.
No more biting down on my tongue or cheeks when eating. Most annoying glitch ever.
Stop aging at 20
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.
Change that double helix into a quadruple one for extra redundancy, making it harder for it to gain irreparable damage. Also, make it a loop rather than a straight line so the ends don’t get shorter with each replication. And remove that dementia bug that has a greater chance of showing up the longer run time is
Sounds good. Not sure this counts as a minor change…
- 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
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?
Basically the only joints we got that are good are the hips and shoulders. The rest of the joint are what evolution could do (so far) with the bag of bones from fish flippers.
Better repairing, see Deadpool. Cancer, missing limbs, teeth, w/e.
We should not get our adult teeth at 7 then no more ever. We need at least one more set.
I don’t think balding is useful, agree that could go.
Fertility should be manageable without using all the devices, hormones, etc. Like it should be a positive choice not a default state we have to harm ourselves to avoid. And I don’t think we need menopause either. Just turn on fertility only to get pregnant.
(ETA- I also think sexually transmitted diseases should not exist at all, they seem like religious fundamentalist biological warfare, but not sure what change in a human body could accomplish this and leave the pleasure intact. )

Just be a shark at this point
