We’ll just all assume that every person who gets this would make themselves early twenties with flawless skin, perfect organs, appendages and functionality, and no excess weight.
My question is, would you change yourself from your genetic baseline, and if so, how?
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.
That’s nothing, mine has a hole that goes all the way through!
If you really think about it, people are just donuts with anxiety
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.
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😭
Same, EDS and MCAS here. It’s fairly well controlled nowadays but I’d love not having to adhere to huge life changes and needing to down 30 pills a day.
I would absolutely:
- Get rid of anxiety (assuming there’s some genetic component to this - seems like all the women in my family have it)
- Change my eye color from hazel (mixed green & brown) to full green
- Add about 5 inches of height (I’m only 5’0")
- Add gills to my sides that deploy at will when under water, but otherwise are hidden
- Fix that annoying “it went down the wrong pipe” design flaw
- Add a nictitating membrane to help fix my dry eyes
- Wings? Maybe!
Definitely wings. First thing I thought of. Unfortunately that would require a massive redesign. Firstly, you’d need hollow bones, as well as a very low body fat percentage. Decent chance boobs and butt don’t grow hardly at all. Secondly, you’d need extremely strong chest muscles, which also still have to be light. And in order to provide enough energy for that, you’d need a larger and stronger heart with wider blood vessels. You’d also need to most likely quintuple your daily calorie intake. Possibly more depending on how often/when/ where you are flying. You would also want lungs with more surface area to absorb oxygen better, even at low altitudes. Especially at higher altitudes. That would likely mean a stronger diaphram. Stronger leg muscles for takeoff/landing. Better eyes for scoping out landing points and avoiding hazards. Most birds don’t fly at night, so you may consider something akin to a cats eyes, or go the bat route with echolocation. And you’re going to need a neutral remapping unless you just plan to replace your arms with the wings. Fortunately, outside of a higher energy cost, that last one might happen automatically, our brains are very plastic.
I’d completely change everything and end up being a perpetually horny sex doll
Mood
Trans people have entered the chat 🙂
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.

Good news! You are now water based! Nothing changed, enjoy your wish!
Awww c’mon this ain’t monkey paw.
I mean I’ve heard that arsenic-based life forms are plausible but I think you have to live in a methane Rich environment to survive so you would basically like collapse into a puddle of toxic goo
I was hoping for something more mechanical or digital. If I’m going through all the hassle of getting a new body then I don’t want to bother with the habits of the old one ( eating, sleeping, etc).
So basically just like turn you into Data.
I was thinking a bit more industrial.
But bender drinks, and sleeps…I think he eats? Maybe? I know he doesn’t have taste buds though. They did a whole episode on him cooking with lsd.
Drinking is for fuel and they’ve demonstrated that the robots can have alternate fuel sources. A Bender body is perfect because I can claim a major victory against entropy while not going crazy by sacrificing my human stimulus (like Metalo from Superman). I want to be unfettered from Earthly needs while still being able to party.
TIL Alex Mack probably smelled like a fart.
Some basic QOL-fixes such as asthma, eyesight and allergies. Fix the propensity for alzheimers and heart disease. After that, probably not much.
I’d give myself long curly hair (I’m bald), an 11 inch penis (currently only 10.5), and huge-ass angel wings (anyone that doesn’t say huge-ass angel wings is a fuckin liar)
You misspelled centimeters.
I just need the angel wings, I already have a huge ass.
That’s way too much penis.
I’m trying to remember what sci fi story that was, set in a future where genetic modifications were common and easy. The protagonist chose a “small” penis that was only 11-12”, as the biggest size that was fully functional and useable. It was kind of amusing the number of characters represented having vanity penises for appearance, even if they were too big to be fully functional or that a person they were attracted to might enjoy.
If we’re gonna go for full on fantasy bodies I’ll take a dragon and we can have an epic battle in storm-rent skies as a metaphor for the struggle between good and evil.
Then back to my place to calm down with some orange slices and some foetal spooning.
I’d be a head shorter and make myself a cutie lol
I’d also want to get rid of my mental illnesses, and reset my weed tolerance. And, if possible, give myself an eye for art. I love to draw, but I sssuuucccckkkkk. And be smarter. Cause I have a severe case of the dumb.
I also would ask to not be asexual since it seems like everyone else is having a good time and I wanna be involved lol
I would change everything in a heartbeat. You wouldn’t even be able to finish explaining what the button did before I pressed it like 7 times lol
I absolutely loath who I am, physically and mentally.
I’d remove my personal need for sleep, making it completely voluntary. But I wouldn’t tell anyone about it. I could use an extra eight hours of free time every day.
No body hair, straight hair, no scalp issues, and more feminine face.
If I can extend it to the brain, no family history of schizophrenia (I don’t have it myself but it’s the reason I intend to abstain from psychedelic drugs.)
Ever since I saw Ghost in the Shell, I’ve wanted a full on robotic body. I’d have a few different ones to suit my mood, too. Assuming I could afford it, anyway. Which since it’s a dystopian nightmare, means I probably wouldn’t be able to get anything other than the shitty tank-like body and only if my insurance covered it. 😮💨
Ever since I knew the weakness of my flesh, it has disgusted me…
I’m not trans but It would be cool to have the body of the opposite sex.
Other then that, hell yeah, my genes suck and I would rather change them, fuck my soft shitty teeth and their slow agonizing journey to replacement
