    I would upgrade my brain to be able to consciously control all the little automatic stuff. Tell my brain to up the metabolic rate when I want to burn more fat, increase heart rate when exercising, basically to be able to consciously control all functions of my body at will.

        You could control yourself to control yourself. Add sudo permissions to it with a max use of once a day.

    Infinite wishes situation : upgrade your brain such that you are sufficiently smart to bio-engineer all the other organs.

      Does happiness increase or decrease with intelligence? What if your brain upgrade becomes an emotional downgrade?

          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.

    I’d like to upgrade my penis into super penis, two barrels, break action instead of the pump action, then I’ll create a new sex act called “Quakeing”, where you strafe around your sexual partner while constantly ejaculating on them with your super penis.

      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!”

      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.

      Considering what it means to be “normal” around me, I’d rather be divergent.
      But then again, I manage to focus well enough.

    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.

    Gosh, only thing I can think of is self-repairing telomeres.

    Everything else is perfect, might as well live for hundreds of years.

    Upgrade my eyes so I can sense different wavelengths of light at will. I would also make them very resistant to blindness.

      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 can hear slightly higher frequencies than most, or at least I used to be able to. Back when TVs used cathode ray tubes I’d have problems with the small portable TVs because they would emit an annoying high pitched tone. Even high pitched tones unintentionally mixed into records. The world is designed for people with typical senses.

        My buddy has a CRT. It makes a very high pitched noise, close to 18900hz. But it’s not above what most people can hear, most humans can hear up to 20,000hz. Over time this decreases of course. But every time I go to this guy’s house I can hear the CRT going, so loud, so annoying.

      Yep, super hearing for me too please. Imagine actually being able to appreciate 192khz recordings… damn. Actually, I don’t even think my HD600s go that high

      Ok but it needs to be an ‘activable’ skill, if it’s always on it could be a nightmare with all kinds of background noises continuously ringing in your ear.
