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

    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.

      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 :)

    Brain is a no-brainer. It’s okay as it is, but having an optimal one sounds terrific

    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

    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.

    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.

      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 used to think that if I could have a superpower I’d like to be able to take a big rancid shit at will, but open up a portal so it would arrive in the pants of a person of my choosing. But these days, what’s the point? Most world leaders could be absolutely destroyed by a well timed beer dump, but Trump probably wouldn’t even notice it wasn’t his.
