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

    We should have tons of little breathing holes all over.

    Imagine if no one snored?

      While you can create spiracles that repel polar substances like water, you cannot protect them against surfactant like soap. No more showers unless you want to drown.

        Yeah but we would have probably made weird body suits to deal with that by now if it were that big a deal.

        We’re really, really bad at preventing problems, but were the best problem solvers we’ve ever found.

        Seems just about every other animal is great at preventing problems. We’re the opposite.
