I want an implant that can regulate body functions and even rejuvenate & regenerate me.
What would that mean?
- Forever young
- Adonis/Venus body
- Some sort of self-healing capability
- Some sort of body-shaping capability
- Possibly immortal

If it were guaranteed safe, I would get a regulator installed to control level of sleep. Something that could send you to sleep quickly and send a wakeup impulse at a designated time. Sleep quality would be a game changer
Right now my tinnitus is killing me soooo CyberEars β¦ but if they comes with a subscriptions Iβll support my old one
slow down my brain on demand so boring repetitive tasks feel fast forwarded.
Cyborg butthole
Full cyborgisation. Just not one made by any capitalist entity.
I really want some of the existing NFC and LED implants that are available, but I keep putting it off because Iβm a bit squeamish about installing it myself and no professional service is near me.
None cause if I have to blast all the synths out there I donβt wanna lose pieces or, worse yet, die
I used to think a future with cyborgs would be pretty cool but personally, I'm not so hot on the idea anymore. The problem is that you would be beholden to whichever corporation or government manufactures and pays for parts. And who is to say that the support for whichever product that you've surgically implanted will be for life, and that you won't end up with useless landfill electronics sewed up inside of you.
Personally I think that if AI was ever made with altruistic purposes, that could fill the role of things like complex calculations and extra memory or a log. And good Augmented Reality could fill the role of interacting directly with entertainment and blocking out the outside world. And maybe one day there would be effective ways of interacting directly with computers through electrodes or even wirelessly. Although who knows how our privacy would be invaded then. There could be literal thought police in that case.
The problem is that the tech will always come from someone else. Imagine integrating this kind of tech into your life on such a deep level and then the person in charge of over seeing and maintaining this tech turns out to be an authoritarian nazi.
You mean like our real-life situation with Neuralink and the new Nazi called Elon Musk?
A monkeys tail! Third hand, balancing, grabbing, etc.
Honestly, I'd go the full cyborg route, like in Ghost in the Shell. This would be my first step toward adjusting my consciousness to existing within and controlling an artificial environment, ultimately aiming for fully uploaded consciousness. I'd want to exist as a cyborg for a couple of decades, then I want to be uploaded into an autonomous space probe with as many sensor types as possible and left to explore the Universe (+/- relativistic speeds, I don't really care). BUT I'd also want the possibility to erase myself, because I most certainly wouldn't want to live forever. At least, not as I see it now. This is the purely sci-fi version.
In the realistic version, a cybernetic eye and a logic co-processor to increase my background process bandwidth. Sure, a brain-computer interface would also be nice, but I somehow suspect I'd get nostalgic for the clackety-clacks and would most likely revert to analog interfacing after a point (for which I'd like that "fingers within fingers" prosthetic from GitS).
Unless, of course, Musk (or any other such) will be handling said cybermods, in which case none, thanks. I'd rather just decay and die as a basic human being than have such people tinker with my bits.
joints that don't wear down over time
A magnum dong to go with my magnum condoms.
Not in order but I would like to have Bionic sight Bionic hearing Bionic joints Bionic smell Bionic sleep regulator Bionic metabolism regulator and a bionic muscle regulator
A brainchip would be amazing. But realistically no corporation should be in your head.
This would enable real life language translation, internet functions, scanning, a hud of vitals etc.
Speak any Human language
Similar to this, or perhaps in obtaining it, perfect memory recall and retention
arms. hate my current arms and could greatly benefit from sci fi ones
throws Shadowrun 2 street samurai catalog on table
This.
Some kind of general pain suppression.
You could turn it off, if you're into that and sometimes pain let's you know there might be a problem, but the endless agony people go through would end.
