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

Boobs just stay full and up, despite aging, breastfeeding, etc. if we are going to have periods, at least make them painless. Cells just shut down cancer every single time it starts, making it obsolete. You wouldn’t get out of breath at the top of a staircase/big hill if there’s anyone nearby.

The ability to breathe underwater - or if that is too much of an upgrade to ask for, the ability to hold your breath for much longer periods of time so that we could spend significant time underwater.

Especially seeing as the planet's surface is over two thirds water!

Penis size, premature ejaculation, long male refractory period, and ED.

Wait that's not all guys? /s

Complete body function control. Like no more emergency shits, you can time the bowel movements and just go once every 36 hours.

Also the reservoir guys have when we stand up pissing. How bout we don't have 20ml piss left in the urethra when we retract the penis?

Let me just say that if God was a city planner, he would not put a playground next to a sewage system

No nearsightedness/farsightedness

No arched noses

Everyone can breathe through their noses silently

No pectus carinatum/excavatum

Digestive tract hits limit on sugar digested and rejects the rest

No loosening of sensitive hair follicles; make every scalp hair difficult to remove/fall out

Baby teeth last longer. What's this bullshit about your first set of teeth lasts 5 to 10 years, then you're supposed to make it 60+ on the only other set you get? I'd make baby teeth last about 20 years.

Or just be like a shark and grow new teeth every 20 years or so.

Can I also get no aging, no unwanted body hair and flawless health?

Improve the birthing process so you don't have to rotate just to fit on the way out. Either make babies smaller or vaginas bigger (in which case penises would have to compensate I guess)
