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.

    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!

        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…

    You could pre-empt the need to shit by not having to eat or drink. Honestly, when I lament humanity’s weaknesses I eventually always come back to the fact that we’re creatures in this universe that can only persist if we kill and eat other creatures. How would we be fundamentally changed if that were no longer true?

      Um, you know that your body expels more than digestion by-products through defecation, right? Where do you think dead blood cells go?

      The other “noble ape” shit I’m not touching.

        Honestly, I have. Not in person though, but on PBS Public Television.

        I do not have the parts to experience child birth, but indeed it does not look like a fun experience.

          Yeah so my partner gave birth to twins in a c-section.

          I also do not have the parts but hoo-boy that was the experience of a lifetime, and not necessarily all fun / happy joyous.

          Basically the pregnant person is on the table and they erect a sheet vertically just below her arms. Then dad (me) sits by her head and holds her hand while the magic happens.

          It seemed like there was about a dozen people in the theatre, the kids each having their own team of pediatrician and nurses.

          It was a complex pregnancy and while everyone is fit and well now the 48 hours following that operation were pretty terrifying.

    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

    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.

      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.

    Sweating. I wanna be exclusively water cooled. None of this evaporative cooling BS. Just swap fluid every six months to a year. I always need moving air anyways…

      To be water cooled we would need some kind of radiator, I guess moving blood through your extremities could work but seems risky from an evolutionary perspective. Like if you’re hot from running from a predator your hands and feet would be flush with blood.

      Also I think evaporative cooling could help you maintain a body temp of 38 when the ambient temp is somewhat warmer than that like 45 or so. I don’t think a radiator could do that.

      Sorry to get all practical in this thread about not needing to poop. I was just kinda thinking out loud.
