i mean yeah, i'll take just having the same body but made of nanites please. There are just no downsides to that: i'd be immortal, impossible to damage since the nanites would just flow back into place, i could reconfigure my body at will, and extremely cool shit like extruding tools from my body (either made of nanites or effectively 3d printing them).
nanomachines son
I'm trans so yes, I've been trying to do that for over a decade
I’d get a new bum. Mine’s cracked.
MEND BUTTCRACK
That's nothing, mine has a hole that goes all the way through!
Hold on, just a thought. If a straw only has one hole because it goes all the way through, then anus and mouth are both the same hole.
We are NOT having the "how many holes does a straw have?" arguement again!
Why not?
I thought we all agreed that a straw was a tube with one hole all the way through it, and that one hole has two openings.
If you really think about it, people are just donuts with anxiety
You could become the unibummer.
I would dial the clock back 35 years and fix my teeth. A tail would be nice too and a sot pelt and maybe cat ears to go with the tail.
Make my spine double jointed and I'd never leave the house.
Lots of changes. Not much on the outside, but fix breakable/broken stuff, be more efficient, this kind of things. Not having to worry about your own body betraying you seems like a good idea.
how many of us would be furries? Statistically speaking, i want an answer.
i love fucking with people, so it's an obvious choice.
Become monke that way I don't have to think anymore.
Do I have to have a biological body? I don't want to be carbon based anymore.
From the moment I understood the weakness of my flesh, it disgusted me. I craved the strength and certainty of steel.

No more garbage genetics please. EDS, pots, ADHD, probably autism (on the waiting list for testing), chronic stomach troubles, depression, anxiety, hormone imbalances, PCOS, chronic pain, inflammation, weak loose skin. All that can go fuck right off forever and die. Once my body actually worked, and looked like it wasn't cursed from the get go, I think I might actually like it. Mostly. Might like an androgynous unit for daily living and a feminine one for sexy times. Both thoroughly muscular of course. Gotta get that muscle tone. If we went for non human stuff on top of that, wings. Huge fuck off dragon wings. None of that Superman flying shit, I wanna FEEL the flight. Hell, I'd probably actually be able to enjoy doing any physical activity if my fucking body wasn't so, so breakable. Really I just wish I wasn't in so much pain.
i was gonna say the same. just wanna be pain free😭
If I choose to remain a woman: add 2 more inches to my height, lose the genetic stomach fat, improve ability to build muscles. Maybe less curlier hair.
If I choose to become a man: late 20s, dark wavy hair, 6'5, lean build but not skinny. Wanna be a target version of Michael Scofield, basically.
I’m not even that tall and my height causes issues. People love tall until you try to fit in an airline seat, regular sized car, fit on a bicycle, or buy clothes that don’t need to be custom tailored. Not to mention how often I hit my head on things. And finally it kind of sucks that people are almost always initially intimidated by me based on size, hard to get part that first impression.
Yeah. But, you know, most girls like a tall dude. And I wouldn't mind being part of their fantasies.
I would like to have the enzymes that would allow me to drink alcohol. :(
Alcohol sucks and makes people feel bad, you're not missing anything
I agree. Everything people think it improves, it does not. Its an illusion
No body hair, and a higher pitch voice (because my singing is GOD AWFUL). That's all.
I'm one of two women in my extended family that I know of who don't have any hair in our armpits, something I'm very thankful for.
okay but have you considered that a tail would make most chairs incredibly uncomfortable for you? also do you really want to be able to fall on your ass and break your tail?
I think we lost the tail for a reason.
small price to pay for tail
totally change stuff. remove the miopia. give me the ability to tan. anything else I could do what is clearly improvements. I would keep the overall look the same. like I would not change anything that could not do better practicality wise. I would not just change for looks.
There is some stuff you can buy called Melanotan that will give you the ability to tan.
It's what Rachel Dolezal used to impersonate a black person
Apparently it also makes you super horny but this is highly suspicious and it go to evidence at best
I doubt taking it orally will get it into my skin.
You have to inject it.
yeah. thats not going to be happening.
Never change a running system. Even small changes may have unexpected consequences, if the machine is as complex as our bodies...
How do you "reboot", medically-induced coma?
you can not.
just think about it: 80 to 100 years uptime, no reboot, no fall back system, not even a cold spare. and you want to change something while its running? madness! maybe if you are very lucky you may be able to replace some of the internal components.. but not to upgrade, only if your on the risk to loose the whole system...
I'd have everything the same except there was one hair on my head that I could control like a tentacle.
Like a tiny little itty bitty hair or would this be a larger hair?
It would grow and behave like any other hair I think, just be movable.
You could use it to hold some snacks up there or something.
........how strong are your individual hairs???
Like the hair Akua used to bind Anansi.
