    Gosh, only thing I can think of is self-repairing telomeres.

    Everything else is perfect, might as well live for hundreds of years.

        My joints are as good now as when I was 21, and they are supported by my broad range of glorious and balanced musculature.

          Doesn’t mean much if we don’t know your current age but joints in general are a weak point of the human anatomy

                Cartilage loss and bone fractures regenerate as long as genetic integrity is maintained, that’s why it’s widely considered an age related disease. Self repairing telomeres would keep you from having most later in life joint failures.

                As for arthritis and general aches and pains, those are more common after the human body stops developing, usually in the late twenties and early thirties and progressing onwards. You can also contribute to these pains by misusing or overusing joints, such as tennis elbow.

    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.

    Heart failure is one of the biggest killers out there. I think you’d have a better odds of living a long life with some kind of super heart. Your heart is basically just a water pump that has to remain online for 100 years or you die fast.

      Good newss! If you use a massage gun pressed right to the base of your dick, it vibrates like a vibrator.

      Great trick if she’s on top, fun for everyone

      Isn’t that backwards? The liver filters alcohol out of the body. I would think an upgraded liver would sober you up quicker.

          Either way you would run into the problem of having a huge amount of your calories come from alcohol, without any nutrients. Unless you’re just drinking beer, which is just liquid bread.

        Rethinking this… no. I’m UPGRADING the liver to keep me drunk for 3 years and 9 months to not be sober. The upgrade is drunk and not dying, and another part of the upgrade is filtering out all the additional calories.

    Sinuses. Those fuckers are overdue for an upgrade. Can you imagine never being congested again?

    Brain is the right answer but sinuses are #2.

    All y’all are picking dick.

    But the correct answer is the balls. Need something more durable and with a faster reload time.

    I’d upgrade my balls so that they aren’t vulnerable when being attacked. That way I can steal Bobby Hill’s purse and get away with it.

      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.

        My buddy has a CRT. It makes a very high pitched noise, close to 18900hz. But it’s not above what most people can hear, most humans can hear up to 20,000hz. Over time this decreases of course. But every time I go to this guy’s house I can hear the CRT going, so loud, so annoying.

      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.
