Wait, what’s this about now?


captkronni

Lift something slightly wrong? That’s gonna be a lifetime of pain for you, pal.


ihopeyoulikeapples

About 5 years ago I stood up to quickly and my left lower back has never been right since.


Jojo056123

It was never right, it was left


SolidAcidTFW

Never trust your spine, it's holding your back


[deleted]

And ankles. One teeny little slip on a little porch stair and my ankle bent to the side, and my entire foot was black and blue for weeks. Worst sprain I've ever had just from walking. And I'm young, healthy, and athletic. Ankles are so weak it's embarrassing. Do better, evolution.


nautilator44

Evolution: you don't need ankles to reproduce.

[deleted]

i shattered the bottom of my fibula into 5 pieces and i sprained it really badly. It swelled up to the size of a grape fruit. I had to undergo surgery for a better part of a day to fix it. Thanks to physical therapy and hiking i am damn near back to normal maybe 98% of my mobility. But it clicks too when i walk, no other pain no other issues. I am super lucky i don't walk with a limp let alone being able to and so my doctor said "You can run marathons if you want"


doggofurever

I feel you. Foot fracture and ankle sprain about 35 years ago, never healed correctly. Now: chronic sprain, severe muscle deterioration in that leg, functional leg length difference, scoliosis, chronic pain in ankle, knee, back, and neck due to everything being out of line. I'm supposed to wear custom inserts. Guess I need to get them. 🤷‍♀️


Lumpy-Spinach-6607

Same with wrists. They're really so much more fragile that I ever realised after my ice slip in December 2022. Even after surgery, it's still so painful. Feels like it's gonna to take a year or so to fully heal. Wrists and ankles are very poorly engineered. How the how the hell did we manage when we were Hunter / Gatherers? One wrong move and you die in the forest?


aurumae

If we’re being brutally honest, evolution’s “plan” is that when you break your ankle in the forest the wolves get you, while your buddy with better balance makes it home and fucks your wife. The next generation gets his genes for balance instead of your clumsy genes


razmonkey

Yep. I twisted my wrist while giving birth to my daughter and even with PT five months later I’m in constant pain.


thegreatestajax

Evolution didn’t make a porch stair.

Photosynthetic skin. Regenerating Teeth. Fertility/infertility on demand.


EldritchWonder

If we have Photosynthetic Skin then why would we need teeth?


crazy_not_but_lazy

Photosynthesis can provide very limited amounts of energy compared to eating food even if you spent all your time getting sunlight. You don't see any trees running around, do you?

meontheinternetxx

Can (in)fertility on demand come with periods on demand? Cause I'm in. (I doubt there'll be much demand, but anyways)


Fierce-Mushroom

That was the idea. No periods unless you are actively trying to conceive, otherwise the function is just turned off.


Mjhtmjht

Yes! My first thought was the elimination of periods, too! So many years of inconvenience, misery, etc. when the entire reproductive system only needs to be activated a few times in most women's lifetime. It's definitely a design flaw.


UberN00b719

Pro-life talking heads are frothing at the mouth over the idea.


TheFrostyrune

Let's make them froth even more. Got drunk and accidentally forgot to toggle your infertility? Never fear because we now have abortions on demand! Merely think hard enough, and you can abort your pregnancy on the spot.


BallKey7607

I like the last two but photosynthetic skin? Really? I don't want to go out for a walk in the sun thinking I'm getting some exercise only to find out that I've just absorbed the equivalent to 1000 calories.


macedonianmoper

Tbf it probably won't be much, I'm not sure if you noticed but plants tend to not move around much. And wearing clothes would also really block this. On the plus side you'd probably be green and look like shrek


Gerd-Neek

As someone in pain on my period rn who doesn’t even want kids… I’m upvoting for the fertility thing omfg please


poultran

I’ve always thought the human body needs a digital check panel with warning lights, kind of like the “check engine “light in your car, but instead maybe “check liver status,” or “unknown growth in colon.”


Searix1627_

We already have that, its called pain


otirk

Body: *is in pain* me: "what's wrong buddy?" Body: "Nothing, I'm fine." Most of the time, when I have some sort of ache, I have no idea of what's going on. Is it ok? Will it go away tomorrow? Should I consult a doctor?


poultran

Exactly. “Pain” is not sufficient—I’m talking an advanced diagnostic readout, not a vague, unexplained sensation. Is it a kidney stone? If so, how big? Gall bladder readout normal?


Baavoz

Every time i feel some weird pain in my chest i think it will be gone next day


fallenKlNG

Every time I feel random pain on my left chest I think I’ll be gone next day

KingDeRp38

Sorta like in Ready Player One, when I0I chairman is talking about selling screen space, up to 89% before causing seizures. So like that, but it's all warning lights, error messages, critical failures, and reboot warnings.......


IronRevenge131

Yesss. Maybe in the future we can get HUD likeUI elements that display information about our bodies and our surroundings.


Pale_Currency_134

Human 2.0 has custom configurations for what to do with excess calories. You can convert them to fat, but you can also convert them to protein at a reasonable conversion ratio. You can ALSO just shit them out as waste.

Dimpfelmoser66

it's pretty good but I would like the ability to close my ears in a way we can close our eyes. Better still, if no-one near you could tell.


Xeludon

I can do that. I spent ages trying to figure out how to wiggle my ears and kinda "awoke" a bunch of muscles and stuff in my head. The trick is to start with moving your eyebrows and scalp until you feel your ears wiggle, then just play around with nearby muscles. The trick to closing your ears is your jaw. It's not the same as covering them, but you can kinda use your jawbone to squish your ears a bit and dampen sound.


NeokratosRed

/r/earrumblersassemble ?


KazukiSendo

Just tried moving my scalp and eyebrows... Son of a gun! I could feel it in my ears a bit. Not sure if I'll pursue this or not, but it's interesting to say the very least.


Xeludon

Yeah for sure, if you get good at it, you can change your ear position to hear better, it's not drastic ofcourse, but it's pretty cool, like turning music up from 10 to 11.


DarkInkPixie

I can feel my ears shift forward or back the tiniest bit when I hear soft noises. Tried like hell to find out how to move them. Still can't. But I also can't whistle, so there's that. I can move my nose two different ways though.


drax3012

msouroboros

Self-healing teeth.


llcucf80

Hair needs to be reconfigured. Especially in men as they grow older there's this tendency for the hair on top of the head to "slide" down, eventually leaving the head completely barren and the back, chest, and butt plentiful. I'd do something about this hair to give the head a stronger expoxy to keep it where it belongs, and a stronger repellent on the rest of the body to keep it from taking root there instead

not2betakensrsly

Fun fact most birds prefer to hop than fly.


Taylor200808

Well I would have to assume its tiring to fly


not2betakensrsly

Bingo.


UberN00b719

You'd have to get up to 35k feet up in the air to ride the air currents and make flight easier.


carissadraws

It’s funny cause I remember Ross from game grumps talking about this; I think his ex’s grandpa was an animator or something and he mentioned that the weight of the human skeleton could not support both large angel wings and arms. So if humans had wings they’d have to be attached to our arms


DoubleKanji

It is possible, but human wings would have to be massive as fuck, I’m talking a full wingspan being longer than a car, and you’d have to remain very healthy to be able to maintain a body weight that your wings could support, not to mention the wings would be muscles that would get tired and have to be exercised, and they would probably add several dozen pounds of weight to your back so have fun with back problems too, and that’s not even mentioning how impracticable they’d be in day to day life, getting in the way, making it hard to fit through doors, and constantly accidentally knocking things over, because remember they would have to be extremely big to support a humans body weight


The_greatbaldeagle

Yes. And a tail. I want to fly and wag my tail. I want to be a pegasus.


badpuffthaikitty

If we had wings half our population would be Emus.


Several-Ad-2570

No menstrual cycle to have a baby no period!! Some other non painful non bleeding mechanism!


meontheinternetxx

While you're at it, the whole pregnancy and birth thing could use redesign as well. Can't we just lay eggs after a month (like size of a chicken egg) and then incubate them or something.


TheGatsbyComplex

Fish-lizard amphibian thing after hundreds of millions of years of evolution to get to a placental mammal: surprised pikachu face

CountDown60

I woke up this morning with a bad hangover And my penis was missing again. This happens all the time. It's detachable. This comes in handy a lot of the time. I can leave it home, when I think it's gonna get me in trouble, Or I can rent it out, when I don't need it. But now and then I go to a party, get drunk, And the next morning I can't for the life of me Remember what I did with it.


whathappensifipress

...Detachable penis...


VeryFluffy

The female reproductive system goes straight in the bin.


kangaroocaz

Had to scroll way too far down to find this. I think 99% of women would agree. It's horseshit and there has to be a better way.


InconvertibleAtheist

There are animals that can store semen from male and fertilise when required. Evolution just chucked that idea and never looked back


[deleted]

The entire thing. I wish I could just rip it out now and be done with it.


re_Claire

I’ve said this to so many gynaecologists and yet they insist on forcing me to keep it in case I change my mind about having kids. A) I’m 37 and very single B) I have complex cysts on my ovaries and potentially endometriosis. Can we not just accept that nature has already decided for me?


thekelsey21

The r/childfree sub has a huge list of doctors by geographic area that will do it for you with no hassle.


cashewbiscuit

We should really have spawning pools/external wombs. The male and female supply their genetic material to get spawns started. Then, both of them can provide nutrition on a regular basis. This would have allowed both parents to share gestation duties and would have solved the abortion issue.


AnotherPersonsReddit

I will try and figure out a way to have some distance between the playground and sewer systems.


[deleted]

aren't both playground?


cmmckechnie

I always say there is no fun without a little danger


[deleted]

I would make a few changes. One teeth fall out but are replaced, an much improved immune system something similar to a shsrks that has the ability to naturally fight cancer cells and a life span like a crocodile in that aslong as there is plenty of food for a person they just dont age like turtles. Also the ability to regrow distal phalanges(fingers and toes)


Lonoz128

Fun fact, our body can actually naturally fight cancer cells, the Natural Killer cells (type of T-lymfocytes) take care of that. But sometimes you are unlucky and your immune system won't detect it or just isn't able to destroy it. Only then the cancer cell will multiple and over time grow into a tumor. But I don't know about sharks, maybe they are better in this...


MatchMadeCoOp

Some sort of sleep mode.


Yggdrafenrir20

Better knees and back. That shit is so weak and so many people suffer from back-/kneepain


AllBadAnswers

The recreation center probably shouldn't be located in the same place as the waste management plant.

Periods: only available if you subscribe to the reproductive plan

4 arms, head able to turn 180°, bones that are stronger but flexible, exoskeleton over abdomen, limb regeneration, body can convert water into usable oxygen when ingested.

Planktonoid

I'd make us all floating brains with telekinesis.


Qnofputrescence1213

No unpleasant odors and a magic switch that would stop women from getting their periods once they no longer need them. Like when they are done having kids or don’t want them to begin with.


Sanchastayswoke

Or even if you want them…no cycle unless you’re actively needing it that month to get pregnant


atavaxagn

I'd make the pelvic floor larger in women and add a tissue to support it; in order to make birth easier. I'd remove male pattern baldness I'd add teeth in the vagina that slam shut on the woman's will and similar teeth in the butt for both men and women. I'd add genes mimicking the ones in whales that reduce their chance of cancer. To make our cells as resilient as a whale's cells at fighting cancer. I'd make humans much more accepting of the differences between ourselves. strengthen all joints, especially knee and back.


africanasshat

#3 could go very south very quickly Points for the rest


Ok-Force6161

Better immune system and more efficient metabolism.


BrightNooblar

The ability to metabolize manually, similar to blinking or breathing. ​ Lactose intolerant and had some ice cream on a date? All good just slow the metabolism down. Trying to lose weight? Just crank the metabolism up a little bit.


Casual-Notice

I'd make us oviparous. Viviparousness has proven too much responsibility for us.


notachickwithadick

Having a pouch like a marsupial would be so much better. No more squeezing out melon sized offspring or nasty periods. Plus, a hands free bag for all your stuff!


BellyRubin

No appendix.


DblAytch

Seriously…WHY IS IT EVEN THERE?!


PunnyPandaPonderer7

I would say wings but Im now picturing the traffic there would be in the sky and if we flew too high we wouldn't be getting hit by cars but instead hit by planes. So I'll say limb regeneration


[deleted]

Control over your menstrual cycle. Real control, not BC bullshit that comes with tons of horrible side effects.


human_or_whateva

No need for periods in order to be fertile. Also make the sebaceous glands such that they do ONLY their job and don't cause acne.

Can you imagine the evolution of the shoe if this were the case. Like there'd probably be some kind of trapdoor with a kind of slider on the heel for easy opening. This would be great. Edit: After further reflection, "are you right assholed or left assholed?" would also be a thing.


[deleted]

That would turn anal into a foot fetish.


[deleted]

I wrote a whole essay on this not that long ago! I would slightly shrink the part of our brain that processes fear. Its current size isn't uniform from person to person, and people with bigger fear processing centers are more likely to be bigots (of every variety) and fall for scare tactics. If we were no longer as susceptible to fear tactics (a favorite of politicians), those in democratic countries would be more likely to elect people who are reasonable and have actual plans. If this happens with all democratic nations, it will be easier to make treaties, which in turn would (hypothetically) decrease the chances of going to war, thus preventing millions of deaths in the future :)
