    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.

    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.

      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?

          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.

    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.

          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

    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 :)

    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.
