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.
I can’t be trusted with direct control of the of my pleasure center of my brain.
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.
Since when is a dick an organ?
Reproductive organ
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?
You could always downgrade your brain again after you’re done.
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.
Upgrade my eyes so I can sense different wavelengths of light at will. I would also make them very resistant to blindness.
Banger post. Deaf community goes hard
Sorry, can’t hear you over my massive dong.
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?
As an audiophile, probably my ears. I wanna be able to hear over 19khz.
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.
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
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.
I want my tits to be able to shoot lasers at will, it’d be cool.
You mean something like this?
More like holding it up like a gun.
Brain is a no-brainer. It’s okay as it is, but having an optimal one sounds terrific
Id like to switch my autism on and off
Would it still be you after the upgrade?
Gee I sure hope not
if i were smarter, i’d be able to answer that
Without the upgrade I don’t know. My knowledge of what constitutes my personality visavi my intelligence and such is too lacking, but I guess I would change
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.
Otherwise it’s only called sparkling piss.
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
Honestly, I have been way too warn out, stressed out, burned out, tired, depressed, and busy to really have any projects going. It feels like I pretty much just sleep, work, and doom scroll on my phone. A lot of that though is from trying to deal with the results of trying to have an SO (never again) and trying to do homesteading while trying to pursue her dreams with her.
Yeah, it definitely is a strange experience being “Gifted and Talented Learning Disabled” as the school system labeled me. The school system didn’t know what to do with me. It was certainly weird being partly mainstreamed (a mix of SPED and mainstream classes [including honors classes]).
I would genuinely prefer to have an average IQ, or even slightly below average, if it ment I didn’t also have the disabilities I currently have. I literally had physics books as bed time stories as a kid. yet when it came to the end of high school; I was discouraged from applying to a 4 year university (despite my grades), because of my disabilities and and discouraged from going into STEM. The rest of my extended family all have advanced degrees and impressive career and there there is me, who can’t even function well enough to live on my own.
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
Transgender Men have joined the chat
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…
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.
