Banger post. Deaf community goes hard
Sorry, can’t hear you over my massive dong.
I’m blind, but I feel you
Gosh, only thing I can think of is self-repairing telomeres.
Everything else is perfect, might as well live for hundreds of years.
I wouldn’t be optimistic, something else may break
Everything else is perfect? You don’t have joints?
Just an immortal pile of goo.
Goals.
My joints are as good now as when I was 21, and they are supported by my broad range of glorious and balanced musculature.
Doesn’t mean much if we don’t know your current age but joints in general are a weak point of the human anatomy
Obviously 22
Higher
Skill issue.
Yeah, people need replacement knees and hips because of skill issues…
Cartilage loss and bone fractures regenerate as long as genetic integrity is maintained, that’s why it’s widely considered an age related disease. Self repairing telomeres would keep you from having most later in life joint failures.
As for arthritis and general aches and pains, those are more common after the human body stops developing, usually in the late twenties and early thirties and progressing onwards. You can also contribute to these pains by misusing or overusing joints, such as tennis elbow.
So not a skill issue then.
My brain, i hate being neurodivergent it’d be so great to just fOCUSSS
It’s funny, there’s a local TV program where people can anonymously ask adults and kids with various handicaps questions they wouldn’t dare ask them directly and “would you rather not have it” is always one of them. The adults always dodge the question by saying that it’s not as bad as it seems and so on and then the kids always reply like you did “I would much rather not have any issues!”
The adults: I learned to live with it and now it became part of my identity
The kids: this sucks! everyone’s mean to me and the world makes no sense!
Fuck. I felt seen/attacked by that on both counts.
Right?!
I’d upgrade the depression away from my brain and give myself the ability for hyperfocus at will and to turn off sensory issues. Taking the autism and ADHD away altogether would leave me a different human, idk that almost feels like dying a little bit, or being lobotomized. Wouldn’t want to lose a part of my brain that makes me me. But super valid to want to be neurotypical!
Thinking about it, if it counts as an organ, idk if I wouldn’t rather change my immune system to stop attacking healthy tissue and get better at attacking viruses instead. Tough choice.
Aren’t those 3 things though?
One organ, not one thing.
monkey’s paw curls
When a monkey’s paw’s last wish is spent, you have a monkey’s fist.
The only upgrade I want is to be able to control the hyperfocus
Me too with brain, I hate not being able to socialize.
Considering what it means to be “normal” around me, I’d rather be divergent.
But then again, I manage to focus well enough.
I already have a big cock. So I would choose a bigger cock.
Hey, spare some cock for us too!
Hmm i think i worded that wrong…
Having a bigger dick is overrated. Great for fantasy, but very impractical.
I’d upgrade my lungs to be better filters and oxygenate my blood. My immune system to fight diseases my efficiently (turn it into a scalpel rather than a cluster-nuke). My brain to retain it’s learning capabilities well into my later years. Completely overhaul my metabolism so that I won’t have to do heavy exercise to get good muscles (really, all that exercise just exists to make one chemical reaction happen).
After that, then, only then, might I consider doing something with my dick. Though perhaps more with my balls, so I can just switch off the reproductive capabilities to ensure safe sex.
It said one organ, you went on a shopping spree haha.
Hey, flesh is weak! :V
From the moment I understood
Definitely my spine. There’s a reason basically anyone who has worked in the trades for a while has a fucked up back. It would be nice to avoid my impending back problems.
Is it a form problem?
better brain
with that I can make more money and with that I can just buy new organs
Congrats. You now feel anxiety twice as intensely.
yeah but now I can buy 2x the anxiety meds because of all my money
being smart is overrated, and it actively makes anxiety worse because you can come up with pretty good rationalisations and then be anxious faster
I mean, he didn’t say smarter; he said a better brain. I would also love a better brain, which to me would not mean an increase in intelligence. On paper, I’m allegedly well into the gifted territory of the IQ scale, but my developmental and learning disabilities, especially my poor executive functioning, have led to me working fast food…
ayyy twice exceptional high five, how are the unfinished projects going? it’s a strange life to be both allegedly gifted and also have a learning disability, your whole life you get told how much potential you have, but you can only reliably pull off being kinda average
but i digress, yeah that’s a fair point. i guess i assumed when they said “better brain” they meant “better brain power”. i too would like a brain that can perhaps manage to do things when i want it to do things, instead of only doing things when they become emergencies
deleted by creator
huh, that is- strange, it sounds almost as if knowing “from the start” about being twice exceptional fucked you up more than being oblivious. very few know about my IQ, and i only got tested at 18, same with adhd where i had my first suspicions at university and started trying to get diagnosed after it. what you’re describing sounds like a deeply confusing child/teenagehood. it sounds like you were kind of taught to feel helpless and doubt yourself
and oh man, i hope that the spark to do silly projects captures you again soon :( they’re so fun, best of luck <3
Brain twice as powerful but so riddled with benzos that it functions at half capacity.
but I still have more money than before
Sometimes I wonder if my brain was already donated.
Can I just say “my immune system”? That’d prevent all kinds of diseases and make you cancer proof!
not an organ and having a stronger immune system would kill you
Post didn’t say stronger it said upgrade. And it wouldn’t be an upgrade if it killed me!
I asked the lady with no legs. She said bigger dick.
Heart failure is one of the biggest killers out there. I think you’d have a better odds of living a long life with some kind of super heart. Your heart is basically just a water pump that has to remain online for 100 years or you die fast.
Unless your lungs fail
The heart will take that on after the lung layoff.
That’s a good point, but in my opinion the other common deaths are way worse. Cancer? Living with the anxiety of impending death and constantly getting sicker, more in pain and being nauseous from medication? Or COPD, feeling like you are suffocating slowly? Alzheimers, Parkinsons? Or my personal fear - dying from a stupid simple cold? Man, I take a heart attack any day of the week.
I have a friend who’s losing the battle with cancer right now and I didn’t really appreciate how bad it would be. Both the cancer itself, and having this much forewarning. I would rather it be quick and surprise. For my sake lol screw everyone else
Yeah, I’m just thinking about the meta pick for general longevity.
Can we pick the nature of the upgrade? I want to pee champagne
From now on you’re french
Merde!
And you can only pee in the champagne region of France.
But you’re not allowed to live there due to public indecency.
Otherwise it’s only called sparkling piss.
Infinite wishes situation : upgrade your brain such that you are sufficiently smart to bio-engineer all the other organs.
Or! OR! Downgrade your brain so you’re just dumb enough to feel constant happiness.
Does happiness increase or decrease with intelligence? What if your brain upgrade becomes an emotional downgrade?
Does happiness increase or decrease with intelligence?
Is there even a correlation?
Looked it up. Seems there happiness does not decrease with intelligence. I would have assumed the more intelligence you have the more capacity to understand and worry about problems you would have.
Yea, but happiness is a weird thing. After live changing events, both positive and negative happiness is impacted for a while, but after a couple of months most people gravitate back to their default happiness level.
You could always downgrade your brain again after you’re done.
Probably brain, responsetime
Who am I kidding, it’s gonna be vibrating dick
Good newss! If you use a massage gun pressed right to the base of your dick, it vibrates like a vibrator.
Great trick if she’s on top, fun for everyone
I think somewhere on the internet there is a whole ass manhwa based on this concept
Upgrade my liver, stay drunk for the next 3 years and 9 months.
Isn’t that backwards? The liver filters alcohol out of the body. I would think an upgraded liver would sober you up quicker.
But I’ll die.
I guess this isn’t a good pick.
Either way you would run into the problem of having a huge amount of your calories come from alcohol, without any nutrients. Unless you’re just drinking beer, which is just liquid bread.
Rethinking this… no. I’m UPGRADING the liver to keep me drunk for 3 years and 9 months to not be sober. The upgrade is drunk and not dying, and another part of the upgrade is filtering out all the additional calories.
Wouldn’t being able to enter a coma on demand be more useful ? Wake up in 4 years…
Yes, but which organ do you upgrade to do that?
Brain, to add coma-on-demand functionality
