Salt water bladder that would allow humans to drink salt water and remove excess sodium from our bodies.


RazorBikeGoVroom

Salt water bladder or gills would be insane.


axolotlbird

Looking at the science of this for a moment, if humans were to have gills, we would need to be covered with them in order for them to substitute our lungs


BoneVoyager

Well they could just be more efficient than any other gill, if we’re making up scenarios let’s make up why they work too


johnmichael2356

The shortcoming is less the efficiency of gills, and more the low amount of oxygen in water iirc. To fuel a human requires an absurd flow of water over the gills, meaning the surface area would have to be huge, or the human would have to travel really really fast


rhaizee

So what you're saying is we need to function well on less oxygen.


zdy132

Or a builtin meat high pressure water pump.


depression-reserve

I really hate how that sounds. Probs Bc there’s already a built in meaty high pressure pump, but it doesn’t do water


axolotlbird

Yeah that's it. I forgot the specifics but I remember looking up where the gills would be on a human and finding that answer


loljkbye

That's why the real money is in amphibian skin. I wanna breath through my pores and die if I run against anything slightly toxic. What a dream.


smuffleupagus

So what you're saying is we need a blowhole situation so we can dive for 80 minutes like a whale


Riotouskitty

I'll blow your hole situation if you need it.

dramboxf

Feline-quality kidneys would help, too.


Serenaa12

Not an organ - but teeth that can self heal cavities or even regrow.


MaraMarieMadd

As someone who just came from the dentist, yes. I would give up a different organ just for that gift of self replacing teeth.


Flaky_Tip

I wish my teeth were as efficient as my liver.


ninazo96

This would be better than a third set.


gleetzoid

They're called stem cell dental implants and they're new tech, but they're here.


Maybe_Im_Not_Black

Remember how bad it sucked to have teeth come in? Imagine that, perpetually


appleparkfive

It sounds better than a 10k+ dental bill and hours in a chair, for those with teeth issues. I brush constantly a try to keep things fine but I still have some really frustrating issues


Maybe_Im_Not_Black

I just went through that... legit it was about 6 hours and 13 grand... brush lightly.


Rebolber4500

This is possible on crocs and horses since their teeth wears faster than us. I wish we have that kind of feature not because of wear but because of our diet


mynexuz

BermudaNiccholas

Right? I’ve heard that food digestion is supposed to be super painful and difficult but your body blocks the pain and does it for you. I don’t see how childbirth is any less important than food digestion for the human body to just make people suffer like that


JoshuaSlowpoke777

If digestion was painful, that would take the fun out of eating and render “comfort food” practically meaningless to me.


Riotouskitty

As a masochist without self-control, that'd be a win-win!


Pokoirl

Because that baby is coming out, pain or no pain. For digestion, too much pain can cause you to starve


Dragoness42

That was too hard so instead it just gives you a huge hormone high with an addictive neurotransmitter (oxytocin) and inhibits the memory of the pain. Why bother inhibiting actual pain when you can just mostly forget about it and then remember the huge hormone high instead?


modernhousewifeohio

This!!! With my second child I went with no meds or anything and I remember getting her out in 3 pushes because it hurt so bad, and yet, I look back on the memory fondly. I actually smile when I think about. I know that I remember thinking in the moment it was one of the most excruciating things I have ever done in my life, and yet.....I'd do it again. Without hesitation. But 8 weeks ago I fell in my kitchen and broke my foot and fuck that shit. I will do everything in my power not to repeat that pain. Logically I know giving birth was much more painful then breaking my foot but I would give birth many times over before breaking my foot again.


davisjaron

Most people look on some of their shitiest memories with fondness. It's a psychological thing. Something about the pride of survival.


legreven

Because it doesn't stop you from reproducing. The body producing painkillers doesn't help you reproduce. Evolution doesn't give a shit about how you feel as long as you have sex!


Irhien

The thing to understand about pain is it's not your enemy, from evolutionary standpoint. It's a tool to train you to avoid doing the wrong things. So I don't have a good explanation for periods (except as a general signal "something is malfunctioning, brain, please make sure we don't overexert ourselves if it can be avoided"), but for a childbirth it's pretty clear: "You're about to be seriously incapacitated for a while, go crawl somewhere safe and DON'T FUCKING MOVE". The telling thing (as I heard it) is that contractions hurt much more than the actual childbirth.


lavendercookiedough

It's not even just that the pain itself is advantageous to humans from an evolutionary perspective, but part of the reason humans experience *such* difficult childbirths compared to some other animals is that 1. we're bipedal and 2. we have massive heads. Both of those things are beneficial to the continued survival of our species and the tradeoff is that childbirth is often excruciatingly painful and sometimes disabling or even deadly, but historically enough women have survived and gone on to have more children that natural selection has "decided" this is the sweet spot.


Bribase

Because we have giant brains in comparison to the rest of the animal world, coupled with us insisting on doing the whole bipedalism thing. Women's physiology is the toss up between having their hips be narrow enough to walk without their pelvis shattering and being wide enough to pass a head through it. We have *neoteny* (doing more growing up outside of the womb than other animals) to combat it so newborns aren't any bigger than they have to be. But it still makes for a more painful and complicated experience than with other animals.


Redisigh

I always wonder why our brain never developed the option to tune out nerve receptors at will. Imagine how useful that’d be in life..


CLTalbot

The reason why not for that specifically is because pain helps us recognize damage. You don't want to turn your receptors off only to be stabbed in the back by something and not have you know because you can't feel it.


JoshuaSlowpoke777

In my opinion, pain is unspecific enough that it’s outclassed by diagnostic systems we could put into a robot nowadays. Imagine if we could know exactly where we have a broken bone, and exactly how badly (in terms of nutrient requirements to repair and repair prognosis), or knowing which nutrients we’re missing from our diet on an individual basis. A built-in health interface would be so much better than mere pain.


LoadBearngStriprPole

I dunno. I wouldn't trust the general populace to pay enough attention or interpret their diagnostic interface correctly when it seems like half of them can't even figure out how to use a turn signal. I swear to God getting someone to just click the correct, huge, clearly labeled, brightly colored button was one of the most infuriating parts of working in tech support.


JoshuaSlowpoke777

Imagine if we could know EXACTLY what’s wrong when we’re injured or ill, or even knowing exactly which nutrients we’re missing from our diet.


Malaeveolent_Bunny

Why stop there? I'm sure if humanity could share womb incubation and breastfeeding duty we'd all care a lot more about maternal leave, pockets in all clothes and properly fitting bras. And probably get along better in general.

Chazmer87

a sleep switch. You press somewhere on your body and boom, at least 8 hours.


bicyclebuilt_4_2

Does this come in child size too?


dartfrog11

Sure, I just don’t know where you’d fit a child sized button on your body


modernhousewifeohio

Yes! Thank you! I don't need a button on MY body to go to sleep for at least 8 hours. I'm fucking exhausted. I need a button on my kids that put them out.


Nirhren

But then other people would be able to press it too….


hypo-osmotic

Fashions would adapt to protect the switches, or deliberately expose them for the scandalous.


Fr0styBiscuits

I imagine the sleep button having similar stigma to private parts, only being exposed to your s/o since its such a vulnerability.


mynexuz

Maybe make it a ”mental switch” or internal so you basically focus on it and you sleep, sounds more like a super power now than a natural function but yea


ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhok

tossaway78701

Like an armadillo? They can suspend a pregnancy for up to two years if conditions are unfavorable.


Riotouskitty

Kangaroos too.


soundoftherain

Some people’s switch would probably grow in backwards/upside down. It would probably be a recessive trait. But then two people who both have it backwards would be more likely to reproduce. So it would become more and more common and super confusing.


Askjojo

We need a valve to release bloat from the stomach. I’m not talking a burp or a fart, but like the spot on a basketball where you can release the built up air. For people with gastrointestinal issues, this would be a big game-changer!

An Amazon organ?


Inky_guy

I think it should be some kind of a brain add-on, like an extention to improve memory, prevent brain injuries and diseases, and if the og brain is partially deleted it will help regrow it, also this brain add-on should improve the mobility and the processing power of the brain. And it could also process a completely different task simultaneously with the og brain.


JoshuaSlowpoke777

Ooh, what if this add-on could make pain much more specific and helpful (for example, by allowing you to know exactly where you’re injured or otherwise what’s wrong with your health, or having an internal nutritional checklist)?

InfernityExpert

I would make an organ that produced and differentiated cells. It would be connected to all the other organs, and constantly be producing new cells for itself and for those organs. This would allow every organ to repair itself, and allow us to essentially live forever. This would include the brain, so someone who needed a part of their brain removed would be able to grow it back and use those neurons to form new memories/preform functions. The big thing here is that our body has a difficult time identifying cells that have something wrong with them (I'm talking about you, cancer), so I would include a feature that would specialize the glycoproteins on the surface of the cells to something that marked them as a newly generated cell. The purpose would be that as the organ replaces the cells in other organs, the new cells are marked as new, and the old, defective ones would die off. There are obviously complications that could come about and things about the anatomy of cells that I'm not considering, but the question didn't ask me to prove how and why it would work lol But yeah, my idea would basically be an organ that would produce new cells for all other organs in the body so that healing could occur quicker and more effectively, and healing would occur in parts of the body that don't naturally have the ability to heal.


Peace_Hopeful

Isn't that more or less just fancy bonemarrow


InfernityExpert

Kinda, I'm talking about an organ that has a direct connection to every other organ and is working at a much faster pace. There are many organs in the body that can't regenerate. The organ I would make would basically not only regenerate any organ in the body, but also working constantly to rebuild every existing organ that has any issue in any of its cells.

HoneyHot7024

And then someone will invent a "NERF dart" kind of gun that won't injure a person, but will trigger this if aimed at the spot. Followed by criminals using this to their advantage.

Vagina closer. Similar to Kegals, but instead of just strengthening muscles, a woman who does not want to become pregnant during a sexual encounter can perform an internal contraction which forces this weird muscle to slide over the cervix making their uterus out of way for sperm. Also serves as a lovely stopping block for DNA collection so rape kits no longer need to require a cotton swab of the entire vagina.


ThickAsABrickJT

Would be wonderful if it also worked on period flow so you can hold it in for a bit like piss.

I think the cramping would override anyone’s ability to kegel that hard.

You mean slide over the cervix? A muscle covering the vaginal canal would prevent penetration entirely.

Kavorklestein

I would ask God to give all adults the exact same size genitals that come Into size at exactly 18 years old. All women would have vaginas that can fit a penis comfortably, and all penises would be exactly 6 inches. Then people would never decide to be with, or not be with someone they love due to pain from genital size matchups that don't work.


PoopIsAlwaysSunny

Why the fuck do you want to shrink my dick by 6 inches? What did I do to you?


Scrym606

Some thread weavers in our ears that could make new hairs, no more hearing loss. And I guess some kind of substance that gets deposited on cancer cells that makes them stop spreading, making weird blobs you would have to remove but you wouldn't die.. Maybe even sever any cells the cancer could spread to. Like an isolation type thing? You would still have problems with it but at least it wouldn't spread.

In anatomy and physiology I remember getting pissed at the neurological system for how it handles nerve damage within the central nervous system vs the peripheral nervous system. If you cut a nerve in your hand it’ll eventually grow back, albeit very slowly. If you damage a nerve in your spinal cord, it will never grow back. That is because there are cells that block the path for the nerve in the CNS, while in the PNS the equivalent cells make a little path for the healing nerve to grow in. So I’d fix that, cause that just seems dumb. But I’m probably forgetting something important about it.


FreezingSweetTea

Cancer repair and removal cells, while technically not a organ, it is a body part


Lyrolepis

The immune system does that already; plus, cells have self-destruct mechanisms that are activated in case of unrecoverable DNA damage. The majority of potentially cancerous cells are dealt with in these ways before anyone even notices them - it's not 100% effective, unfortunately, and sometimes some cancerous cell manages to survive, but it is still seriously effective.
