No periods
No balding
No nausea
No body odor
Resistance to obesity and muscle wasting

        Separate holes for eating and breathing
Separate sewage system from entertainment complex
Remove mental health disorders
Improved empathy

Good day, are you talking about urine sewage system and/or anal intercourse?

[-] Olhonestjim@lemmy.world 7 points 7 months ago

How about a system which fully harvests nutrients, then compresses waste into smooth, solid, compact, sterile pellets which leave no residue and don't smell bad?

i think that’s the core issue. Whatever kind of sewage system you have is going to be a source of entertainment for some people

Well, one can hardly argue with that, kind sir.

I disagree - one hole for everything. Just imagine how many less medical clinics you need to go to.

Yes, I'm American.
