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

Bionic back, mine is shit.

Yeah I think I either have been officially diagnosed with it as a kid or suspected of having it.

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. 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.

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.

"Hey asshole!"
Love it.

If we're going full sci-fi, I want to fall asleep as soon as my head hits the pillow, then go STRAIGHT to REM. ...and actually stay asleep long enough for any of that to mean jack.

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 qualify would be a game changer

[dudedudenson@lemmings.world]

I'd rather not need sleep at all, with the option to do it sometimes for skipping time

How can your eyes suck

My mouth suck

Parallel processing. Sometimes when speaking or thinking, something comes to mind which is related but presents a fork. It would be cool ti

My wife has Fibromyalgia so I'd love some cybernetic implant to dull her pain. Everything seems to hurt for her and something to block some of that and give some strength back to her hands and muscles would be great

[lattrommi@lemmy.ml]

a HUD would be cool with a bionic eyes I think, so i could 'see' a list of stats. temperature, barometric pressure, direction of sound origin, my to do list, personal vitals like BP and heart rate, I could go on.

that would unfortunately have the same inherent trust issues as any company that made them would surely try to phone home with that data and probably try to insert ads and shit too.

I really want some of the existing NFC and LED implants that are available, but I keep putting it off because I’m a bit squeamish about installing it myself and no professional service is near me.

[lattrommi@lemmy.ml]

a pair of working wings like a bat, a prehensile tail like a monkey that is strong enough to pick stuff up equally as my arms can, skin like a chameleon that can transition to the color and texture (visually) of my surroundings and regenerative cells like those immortal octopuses.

that's just for regular life, my ultimate fantasy version would have all that but also an improved ass, that sits in an office chair more comfortably so i can write TPS reports more efficiently and with better clarity.

[mrsilkworm@lemmy.ml]

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 tattoo that works like a sign on the forehead that says "warning: grumpy" that lights up accordingly, would be useful for all of society in my opinion.

[soulwager@lemmy.ml]

I also have some trust issues. I'd rather not have spyware built into me.

That said if I could magically wave those problems away, I wouldn't say no to improved senses. Eyes that can see any wavelength from radio to x-rays, with different filters for wavelength and polarization available. Same for ears too.

I have actually considered(but not super seriously) getting a magnet implant so I could detect magnetic fields and current flowing in wires, what do you think the limit of that would be if you took it to an extreme?

Mental augmentations are a bit scarier. For multiple reasons.

[drmoose@lemmy.world]

Exoskeletons are almost viable already. Climbing a major hike without breaking a sweat is a real dream for outdoors people

Though number one for me would be personal temperature control. Imagine having the perfect ac everywhere you go. Somehow scifi ignores this idea but that would change everything.

Also cybernetic eyes obviously.

[krik@lemmy.dbzer0.com]

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

They suck at sucking in visual info

[suck_on_my_presence@lemmy.world]

I have a rare lung condition, so I'd want a full double lung transplant and new heart. Maybe just make my chest entirely clear like a computer case.

And chop off both of my feet and give me something new. Not for any real reason, I just hate feet and would rather have springs or something else.
