Upgrade my eyes so I can sense different wavelengths of light at will. I would also make them very resistant to blindness.
I was born flatfooted. I’d make my feet and legs normal.
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.
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.
One of:
- eyes to see a wider spectrum of light (infrared to gamma-ray)
- ears to increase sensitivity or reduce it close to 0 a will
- nose to smell all dangerous stuff that is odourless (carbon monoxide f.e.)
- muscles not to lose training after a few days (I am not sure that wouldn’t fuck up methabolism)
- have an organ to catch radiowaves (while being capable to switch it off)
- brown fat cells to never feel cold (with added super bonus that they also kill cancer by starving it)
- liver to remove toxins without being easily damaged
The choice is difficult :)
Brown fat cells would also make you burn more calories doing nothing
If you’re in a first world country and making a decent salary that just becomes a lower chance of obesity and diabetes
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?
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

Tough call…
Do you pick the one that will probably kill you or the one making quality of life kinda shit.
Awkward when fixing the organ doesn’t fix the problems with it
(•_•)
Idk cause making my pp bigger in my mind fixes all of my problems.
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?
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.
I’d upgrade my balls so that they aren’t vulnerable when being attacked. That way I can steal Bobby Hill’s purse and get away with it.
I’d upgrade my ass so that I didn’t need to shit, it just like teleported the poop somewhere
Absolutely no way, finishing a good poo is such a relief.
You can still do it, just anywhere.
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
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
