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.

I wanted to say allergies, but I am not sure you mean abnormal stuff too.
Breathing otherwise. Annoying + can’t stay underwater for long enough.
Though if add, direct thought + feeling sharing. Current communication is way too inefficient.
Pretty much all answers here should be valid, have an upvote 👍
Another thought, it would be nice if our hair didn’t grow like any longer than an inch or so, where people wouldn’t need regular haircuts or complicated hair styles.
I mean sure, ladies wouldn’t be able to grow their hair out as is fairly common these days, but if our hair always stayed relatively short, it would be perfectly normal, and would save us the hassle of going to the barber.
Or just have the ability to control how fast it grows.
On/off switch
There was a sci-fi book a while back where all humans were gone, and all that was left was a thriving android civilization expanding across the solar system. The main character was built on the base of a sex bot, and had the ability to set the speed of her hair growth, and color. At one point she gets tied to some tracks (a city on Mercury that traveled around the planet) to be eliminated (she was a spy) and ends up getting away by forcing her hair to grow at a rate so fast it came out weak and easy to tear. Super weird book, but I thought of it when I read the comment I was responding to. And yes, on/off was part of it.
Sleep.
Welcome to 22 hour work shifts, with twenty minute breaks.
Twenty minute whats?
Haha. Not what I meant but I guess it works too.
Am salaried and also had the exact same thought. I haven’t had a work break in … 10 years at least. My fault, yeah.
Toenail growth.
Cutting nails is annoying, and toenails are awkward and stupid.

Nails. I think we could go without nails. Specially toe nails. Finger nails could be an optional add on.
I don’t mind shitting, it feels good. We could probably absorb more of it so we have less shit to do? Seems so inefficient.
Eh, I think I’d rather keep the nails for protection and to open soda cans and whatnot, but yeah it would be nice if they weren’t continuously growing and need regular trimming.

OK, we can compromise and keep your index finger and thumb nail. But they grow at 1/10 the speed.
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
If I breathe more, would I lose more weight?
Not effectively. You’ll just have a lower concentration of CO2 in your exhaled air. Maybe it’ll stay the same with the increase in exertion by breathing more, but that’d be a good way to estimate how little energy your breathing consumes compared to proper exercise. And after all that, exercise is pretty slow to burn calories as well. The good news is your brain burns calories by thinking harder, an activity we’re both now involved in
This guy thinks so, but you also have to do cold plunges. And is more about converting your fat into a better kind of fat.
I’m just gonna learn from you and fart glitter. I’m pretty sure I can lose weight that way…
Remove need to sleep. You would get ~33% more time every day.

Sleep’s the only thing stopping you from working 24 hours?
It’s the only thing stopping the people in charge of our society from mandating 16-hour days
We’d just be exploited for our labor 33% more.
Sleep. It used to take up nearly a third of my life. Since having Long COVID, it’s closer to half my life.
Honestly, think of what we could get done if we had all that extra time…
I would eliminate the ability for humans to reproduce.
Have you SEEN people?
Have you seen a birth? Not fun
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.

LMFAO! Touché salesman!
As long as we can still practice.
I’d like to urinate from my thumbs at will.
Who is Will, and what did he do?
😂🤣
You could pre-empt the need to shit by not having to eat or drink. Honestly, when I lament humanity’s weaknesses I eventually always come back to the fact that we’re creatures in this universe that can only persist if we kill and eat other creatures. How would we be fundamentally changed if that were no longer true?

The other “noble ape” shit I’m not touching.
I agree. Let’s not go apeshit.
Sweating. I wanna be exclusively water cooled. None of this evaporative cooling BS. Just swap fluid every six months to a year. I always need moving air anyways…

Can I add wings? I wouldn’t mind being able to fly around!
You can absolutely add wings!
Have an upvote 👍
Yeah not too many people in this thread have considered the “adds” it seems! Do you have an add?
Awesome question!
I would add a stem cell gland to help with healing injuries and stuff.
Whoa you just took it to another level. I think I like yours better!
Eliminate the need to sleep.
As others have mentioned:
Welcome to 24 hour work days…
Have an upvote regardless 👍
