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.

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

    Everyone’s saying the need to sleep. That goes a bit too far IMO. Who knows it would work out as we think it to be? Maybe the 33% we sleep will just be reduced off our lifespan with nothing won.
    Also, honestly, even if that wouldn’t be the case - I wouldn’t want to not sleep at all. It’s like a regular break from life. Even if employers wouldn’t exploit this, I don’t want to be awake forever.

    Now, here’s my proposal: We still need to sleep, but we can control falling asleep and waking up like it’s a muscle. Lay in bed and fall asleep anytime. No more falling-asleep issues for anyone, no more sleepless nights.
    And also, we’d have a perfect inner clock and the ability to choose when we wake up. Fall asleep at 11 PM, have to get up at 7? Great, you know exactly when 8hrs are over and are able to just wake up, no alarm needed.

    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.

    I strongly disagree.

    Personally I’d remove the need for sleep and effectively increase my lifespan by 3rd.

    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!

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

        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…

        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
