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.

    needing food. that would free up a lot of time and money, no input = no output. no dishes, no stove or fridge, no need for a dishwasher, then on the other end, no need for TP, or even a toilet!

      This was my comment. My dad and I felt that same way but my grandmother just couldn’t understand how we could.

      If I never needed to eat, that’d be wonderful. No more getting fat ever again and I’d probably be 100 times healthier.

      If you’re still regenerating tissue, your body is still producing weight. Drastically reduced (I’d guess by 75% total, of which 2/3 is dead digestive bacteria you’d no longer need), but still existent.

      Fun fact, you don’t defecate out weight loss, either. You exhale carbon in CO2

          Not effectively. You’ll just have a lower concentration of CO2 in your exhaled air. Maybe it’ll stay the same with the increase in exertion by breathing more, but that’d be a good way to estimate how little energy your breathing consumes compared to proper exercise. And after all that, exercise is pretty slow to burn calories as well. The good news is your brain burns calories by thinking harder, an activity we’re both now involved in

            I’m just gonna learn from you and fart glitter. I’m pretty sure I can lose weight that way…

          Fat contains long hydrocarbon H-C-H chains (with other stuff at the end). When it’s broken down to release energy, it combines with (3) oxygen O2 molecules, making H=O=H (water, H2O) that you sweat, pee or breathe out, and O=C=O (carbon dioxide) that your breathe out. Carbon accounts for significantly more of the weight than the hydrogen and it’s in this sense that you breathe it out.

          If you breathe significantly more without exercise, you’ll hyperventilate, which I’m sure is even less fun than the exercise in lengthy doses, and I don’t think you’ll lose weight.

    I wanted to say allergies, but I am not sure you mean abnormal stuff too.

    Breathing otherwise. Annoying + can’t stay underwater for long enough.

    Though if add, direct thought + feeling sharing. Current communication is way too inefficient.

      Pretty much all answers here should be valid, have an upvote 👍

      Another thought, it would be nice if our hair didn’t grow like any longer than an inch or so, where people wouldn’t need regular haircuts or complicated hair styles.

      I mean sure, ladies wouldn’t be able to grow their hair out as is fairly common these days, but if our hair always stayed relatively short, it would be perfectly normal, and would save us the hassle of going to the barber.

            There was a sci-fi book a while back where all humans were gone, and all that was left was a thriving android civilization expanding across the solar system. The main character was built on the base of a sex bot, and had the ability to set the speed of her hair growth, and color. At one point she gets tied to some tracks (a city on Mercury that traveled around the planet) to be eliminated (she was a spy) and ends up getting away by forcing her hair to grow at a rate so fast it came out weak and easy to tear. Super weird book, but I thought of it when I read the comment I was responding to. And yes, on/off was part of it.

    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.

        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!

    Sneezing/snot production. Sure, it can feel amazing. But the sudden urgency to stop everything I’m doing and focus on my nose or risk a disgusting eruption of green mucus all over my face in a public setting is something I could do without.

    Also, I’m waiting for someone with medical knowledge to come in here and mention Prions or something else silently devastating to the body.

      Excuse me, I just farted. What the fuck did I just read? 😂🤣

      Our dog is named Brownie, I’m not in any hurry to taste his batter.

      Anyways, free upvotes for everyone today 👍
