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

Hair and nails not constantly growing

Your body not over reacting to things (allergies and auto immune)

So you want hair and nails to grow consciously?

Like if I want to grow my hair out, I need to actively concentrate on it for a year? Or can I grunt out a moustache like a cartoon? Both are problematic.

You consciously initiate the process and then it grows on its own, with the option to manually stop.

Ooh can I be Rapunzel/Wolverine? Both at the same time, that is. Oh and I'll take Dumbledore's beard.

I would like the ability to change the speed of growth. Like, when you overeat, I'd love to just crank up hair and nail growth to burn away the excess

Right? Im very cool with rhe whole balding thing but for fuck sake can I not be Chewbacca walking carpet from the neck down?
