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

Kase,

I have one: ingrown nails and nail infections can go fuck themselves.

I have had FIVE consecutive toe infections in the last 18 months or so. I’m so done with it lol.

But on a broader scale, some people die or lose limbs from stuff like this, so it’d be nice if that didn’t happen anymore.

DredUnicorn,

I had a problem with this, just got the nail removed, it was best decision I’ve ever made.

Kase,

Thanks for the advice! I have an appointment in a week to do just that :)

Azal,

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.

mumblerfish,

Yeah, can we at least not have so many pain receptors in along the kidney and baldder tract?

corsicanguppy,

Disagree: when something’s wrong there, you really want to know.

Check back after I’ve passed a kidney stone, though, as experience may temper that!

APassenger,

Disassociate. And do it a lot.

Or have meds.

Cannot recommend and I’m sure mine was minor.

corsicanguppy,

chef’s kiss perfect list.

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

Treefox,

No more cancer please.

KpntAutismus,

there’s almost a vaccine for that

Nop, preventing them from dying is though.

Bakachu,

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.

DrRatso,

You can not have a cure for cancer, but a cancer. I promise I am not trying to be pedantic here. Cancers are so different from one another, that a single cure for breast cancer might not even work on all breast cancer.

fury,

No more biting down on my tongue or cheeks when eating. Most annoying glitch ever.

Bakachu, (edited )

Omg yes this absolutely. I eat to nourish myself and survive and am punished randomly by self-inflicted mouth wound that lasts for days/weeks => evolutionary failure at its finest.

Insult to injury when the food is actually something healthy like a salad instead of fries.

CritFail,

Just one universal blood type please

Just make us all shape shifters so we can do whatever we want.

  • Separate holes for eating and breathing
  • Separate sewage system from entertainment complex
  • Remove mental health disorders
  • Improved empathy
L4rr,

Good day, are you talking about urine sewage system and/or anal intercourse?

Olhonestjim,

How about a system which fully harvests nutrients, then compresses waste into smooth, solid, compact, sterile pellets which leave no residue and don’t smell bad?

i think that’s the core issue. Whatever kind of sewage system you have is going to be a source of entertainment for some people

L4rr,

Well, one can hardly argue with that, kind sir.

Bakachu,

I disagree - one hole for everything. Just imagine how many less medical clinics you need to go to.

Yes, I’m American.

    Our kidneys reabsorb the water constantly. If we want to poop out urate, we have to go back to using a cloaca.

    Malfeasant,

    Those are kidney stones. I’ve heard they are undesirable.

    KpntAutismus,

    better concentration and more logical thinking.

    i hate how i put people into boxes all the time.

    plus make them lie for personal gain less.

    KpntAutismus,

    being a hermaphrodite would be pretty dope

    6daemonbag,

    I just finished The Left Hand of Darkness by Ursula K Le Guin and am utterly moved. She realized an alternate humanity so clearly

    Shou,

    Sword fight! Loser gets preganenant.

    Wha-… Uh… Hmm… Yeah… Yeah, OK… Ok, yeah I’m in.

    SCB, (edited )

    Gonna hard pass on the entirety of having a female reproductive system. More trouble than it’s worth imo.

    fogstormberry,

    I’d like extra thumbs please

    Sadbutdru,

    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.

    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.
