We’ll just all assume that every person who gets this would make themselves early twenties with flawless skin, perfect organs, appendages and functionality, and no excess weight.

My question is, would you change yourself from your genetic baseline, and if so, how?

    Do I have to have a biological body? I don’t want to be carbon based anymore.

      From the moment I understood the weakness of my flesh, it disgusted me. I craved the strength and certainty of steel.

        That quote gets thrown around at me alot. Which is weird since I paint Orks.

      I mean I’ve heard that arsenic-based life forms are plausible but I think you have to live in a methane Rich environment to survive so you would basically like collapse into a puddle of toxic goo

        I was hoping for something more mechanical or digital. If I’m going through all the hassle of getting a new body then I don’t want to bother with the habits of the old one ( eating, sleeping, etc).

              But bender drinks, and sleeps…I think he eats? Maybe? I know he doesn’t have taste buds though. They did a whole episode on him cooking with lsd.

                Drinking is for fuel and they’ve demonstrated that the robots can have alternate fuel sources. A Bender body is perfect because I can claim a major victory against entropy while not going crazy by sacrificing my human stimulus (like Metalo from Superman). I want to be unfettered from Earthly needs while still being able to party.
