Ripping off a post I just saw in the Isaac Arthur subreddit. Imagining we work out the technical ability. Examples they suggested were:

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

Improve the birthing process so you don't have to rotate just to fit on the way out. Either make babies smaller or vaginas bigger (in which case penises would have to compensate I guess)

[–] rikudou@lemmings.world 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

That one's entirely of our own doing! By having better healthcare, people who wouldn't be able to survive childbirth naturally are spreading their genes which leads to childbirths being harder and harder with every generation.

U got a sauce for that? My instincts are telling me that we don't evolve or mutate that fast lol.

No nearsightedness/farsightedness

No arched noses

Everyone can breathe through their noses silently

No pectus carinatum/excavatum

Digestive tract hits limit on sugar digested and rejects the rest

No loosening of sensitive hair follicles; make every scalp hair difficult to remove/fall out

Complete body function control. Like no more emergency shits, you can time the bowel movements and just go once every 36 hours.

Also the reservoir guys have when we stand up pissing. How bout we don't have 20ml piss left in the urethra when we retract the penis?

Let me just say that if God was a city planner, he would not put a playground next to a sewage system

Penis size, premature ejaculation, long male refractory period, and ED.

Wait that's not all guys? /s

Baby teeth last longer. What's this bullshit about your first set of teeth lasts 5 to 10 years, then you're supposed to make it 60+ on the only other set you get? I'd make baby teeth last about 20 years.

[–] A_Random_Idiot@lemmy.world 7 points 10 months ago

Or just be like a shark and grow new teeth every 20 years or so.

Change that double helix into a quadruple one for extra redundancy, making it harder for it to gain irreparable damage. Also, make it a loop rather than a straight line so the ends don't get shorter with each replication. And remove that dementia bug that has a greater chance of showing up the longer run time is

[–] LesserAbe@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

Sounds good. Not sure this counts as a minor change...

[–] FluffyPotato@lemm.ee 4 points 10 months ago
