Hair and nails not constantly growing
Your body not over reacting to things (allergies and auto immune)
Hunger annoys me.
Like, yo, tummy: I have not failed to feed you in over 30 years. Maybe don't cause me physical pain and nausea? A simple grumble is fine until it gets actually serious, ok?
goes a few hours without eating
Tummy: panik
A simple grumble would be perfect. Sometimes I get really hungry annoyingly quickly, and other times I don't get hungry and go way too long before remembering to eat. It'd be really great if I could just program my body to just give me a lil popup reminder after a certain number of hours.
Sometimes strokes can destroy the area of the brain that controls hunger. They require alarms to consistently eat, sleep, etc. I remember one story about a guy who put all these alarms on his watch. One day, his watch runs out of batteries, so his alarms stop completely. A couple days later, he calls the hospital because he couldn't get out of bed. Turns out he hadn't eaten anything the whole time. In short, you'll probably forget to eat without any signal you have to.
I will tell you, it's not that hard to train your body to treat hunger differently. You just need to fast now and then, most religions have guidelines for this. It doesn't take much to give you hunger resistance, and it makes a huge difference... You become less affected by low blood sugar and able to ignore hunger when you need to
After your body adjusts, hunger becomes cyclical - you feel hungry, maybe even nauseous, but then it goes away after a couple minutes. If you're doing something, it's so easy to ignore you forget about it
Right? Im very cool with rhe whole balding thing but for fuck sake can I not be Chewbacca walking carpet from the neck down?
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
