  • No periods
  • No balding
  • No nausea
  • No body odor
  • Resistance to obesity and muscle wasting

Balls should be behind a thick bone. Essentially not so temperature dependant to facilitate this.

Body hair should have multiple sliders like a video game avatar. Wanna be furry all over like a Persian cat or a poodle? No problem. Want to be smooth as a dolphin? Also no problem.

Iirc there are some reptiles with two sets of eyelids on each eye, the inner one being transparent, so they can close just the one while under water or in like dusty/windy conditions, but still be able to see.

Humans need in on that action.

We used to have that. It “devolved” into that lil bump in the corner of your eye by your nose bridge.

I'm pretty sure the major things that need to change are in the brain. Predeliction for violence and hate, addiction to controversy and toxins, and whatever makes people stupid enough to support facists.

Our bodies need some trace metals, problem is it can't differentiate between metals it needs and metals that will kill it. "Hell yeah, delicious zinc" as it noms down on lead instead of pooping it out.

Reduce max fingernail length pls

Deactivate-able hair follicles

Like chromatophores so you can have hair where you want and not where you don't. Maybe it just takes a long time to transition 🤔
