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.

    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.

    Make everyone shit rounded rare earth metal cylinders. Suddenly we don’t need Cobalt and Lithium mines any more and the worst aspects of having to poop are solved too. It’s dry and doesn’t stink, so no need for the toilet, just poop in your little collection bucket, no need for wiping and then you go on with your day.

      Squeezing a metal cylinder out my chute sounds a lot less pleasant than just pooping poop.

        Haha fair enough, I was thinking of multiple little ones not singular big ones. Think of bunny droppings or something.

    Does the need for particular hormones count as a single bodily function? Asking for a post menopausal person.

      Sure, why not? I guess you might as well just say you would like to do away with menopause if you could, that works 👍

    The “loosing hair where I want it to grow and growing it where I definitely don’t want it to grow” thing.

        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!

    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.

    That thing when you accidentally swallow the smallest amount of spit the wrong way and start coughing like mad
