What, if any, cybernetic augmentation would you want for regular life?

[tiefling@lemmy.blahaj.zone]

Bionic eyes, mine are shit

[anindefinitearticle@sh.itjust.works]

functional ovaries

I don't want a pill. I want a full organ integrated into my body that releases hormones responsive to my body's natural rhythms and diet and environment.

I don't care if it's via cybernetic augmentation or a stem-cell grown uterus combo package.

Vital sign monitoring system

Usb in something like my finger so i can connect to any pc and use it with my brain

Robotic limbs, mainly because its kind of a dream of mine to create affordable, diy-capable working prosthetics for people who cant afford them, especially if theyre for children/teens who seemingly double in size every half year.

Same even if they only give me 20/20 vision

Dermal plating. Like a flexible, slash-resistant, heatproof mesh under the skin. I work in a kitchen so it'd be nice to be able to ignore those pesky little nicks and burns.

New legs. Not special ones, just new ones that aren't shit. Man that sounds like a downer. I'll take a mechanical hand that doesn't hurt when I forget to take breaks from drawing for 12 hours. And some ocular implant to tell me the name of that person who just waved at me and who clearly knows me.

I can think of other things that sound cool on paper but I've consumed enough media to know that they're VERY bad ideas and not worth it.

I've always wanted a [prehensile tail] (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prehensile_tail), cyber or natural.

A cortical stack that allows me to upload my brain to a computer, and make back ups or forks of myself.

[pleasestopasking@reddthat.com]

I too wouldn't actually do it because I don't trust corporations that would make this shit. But I've often dreamed of having a "think to text" option, like speech to text but without having to say it out loud. If this existed I'd have a first draft of a novel from all the plotting and imagining scenes and dialogue when I go on walks. It feels much harder to get the juices flowing when I'm at home with my computer.

Hell yes. Decades of tinnitus gone? Sign me up.

[brundlefly2077@sh.itjust.works]

Immediately came here to say TAKE MY EYES! My nose can’t take much more of this spectacles bullshit.

[bluesquid0741@lemmy.sdf.org]

And you could moonlight as a shadowrunner.

[monster96@lemmy.world]

My first thought to since my eyes suck. I'd also like some features attached like zooming, able to change eye colors, maybe see in different light spectrums.

[marighost@lemm.ee]

This would be mine too. Mainly so I can feel like I'm sending messages telepathically.

[albbi@lemmy.ca]

A great SciFi book series with this is Old Man's War. I love the brain pal concept in it.

[backgrndnoize@lemmy.world]

So you want the power of the sun in the palm of your hand as well huh

[broadfern@lemmy.world]

This might sound nuts but, programmable/shifting tattoos.

Like, it could detect elevated levels of cortisol in your blood or increased heart rate and then just gently pulse or warm up to a comforting temperature as a way calm you down or remind you to breathe. Or light up like a custom RGB keyboard, or change colors/holographic effects depending on time of day. Anything really.

[backgrndnoize@lemmy.world]

I want this plus perfect memory recall, imagine reading or watching something once and being able to remember it forever and bring that memory back whenever you want

[robottoaster@mander.xyz]

auditory processing disorder? I suspect I have that too.

[fourth@mander.xyz]

Bionic back, mine is shit.
