Ripping off a post I just saw in the Isaac Arthur subreddit. Imagining we work out the technical ability. Examples they suggested were:

  • No periods
  • No balding
  • No nausea
  • No body odor
  • Resistance to obesity and muscle wasting

Baby teeth last longer. What's this bullshit about your first set of teeth lasts 5 to 10 years, then you're supposed to make it 60+ on the only other set you get? I'd make baby teeth last about 20 years.

Or just be like a shark and grow new teeth every 20 years or so.

People used to only live like 35 years most of the time. A tribe usually only had a couple of people who lived to old age, and became elders who were cared for by the younger people.

Yeah, humans live longer in captivity than in the wild. Sure. This is why I want to change how teeth work.

Let's do this shark style. New teeth every couple weeks, every day a tooth falls out, the streets are now littered with teeth.
