Which impossible physical change would you make?

60 replies

Pick one to change your life forever…

  1. Never be any fatter than you are right now. You could still diet if you wanted to be thinner, but this is as fat as you’ll ever get.

  2. Become self-cleaning. No more baths or showers ever; no need to even have to wash your hands.

  3. Never have to shit or piss again. No such thing as body waste.

Which would you pick?

Number 1!! Not even close. Not having to constantly stress or panic about what I eat would be life changing

GlowFlo · 05/07/2024 14:16

Depends on how te waste is disposed of...if it accumulated or not?!
But probably 1 or 3.
You?

Theedgeoftheabyss · 05/07/2024 14:17

I'd like not to be deaf.

DramaAlpaca · 05/07/2024 14:19

I'd choose 1 from your list.

daffodilandtulip · 05/07/2024 14:20

If I grew, then I wouldn't be fat in the first place. And I'd be able to reach shelves. So 1 but stretched please.

Stibble · 05/07/2024 14:21

Does 3 include future immunity from UTIs, constipation etc? If so I think I’d take that to future proof old age. Otherwise… 1? Quite like washing.

Strawberrycheesecake7 · 05/07/2024 14:21

Number 1 definitely. My weight isn’t too bad at the moment but I gain weight very easily and it’s a daily struggle to keep it under control. I enjoy baths and showers and number 3 doesn’t bother me that much.

Comedycook · 05/07/2024 14:21

1 definitely

Normalnot · 05/07/2024 14:25

Number 1

When I seen the title I thought it was going to be about something you’d like to change on your body…..

I wish my nipples could be removed and popped on further up my tits.

basilbrushestail19 · 05/07/2024 14:25

Number 3 then 1. I like a nice shower/bath

ArabellaFishwife · 05/07/2024 14:25

I'll take 1, if I can defer it by a few weeks, to make the maximum that bit more flattering and comfortable in my tightest clothes.

CollyBobble · 05/07/2024 14:26
  1. Never be any fatter than you are right now. You could still diet if you wanted to be thinner, but this is as fat as you’ll ever get. - I've never been overweight and never will, so this doesn't apply to me.

  2. Become self-cleaning. No more baths or showers ever; no need to even have to wash your hands. - I love having a bath so it's no to this one.

  3. Never have to shit or piss again. No such thing as body waste. - where would it go? Evaporate? I suppose I'd choose this one as although I usually wee twice a day, excessive drinking in warm weather means I do sometimes need to go when I'm out in the wilds with my dogs!

MrsTerryPratchett · 05/07/2024 14:26

I travel a lot so #3 sounds great. Pooing in a desert with not a tree or bush within 100 miles isn't pleasant.

Leglessly · 05/07/2024 14:26

I'd choose 3.
Nothing worse than getting comfy in bed, drifting off nicely... and bam, suddenly desperate to pee. Or needing to pee during a long drive. Being able to eat lots of spicy food without worrying about the fiery aftermath. Not having to clench your butt cheeks together for the rest of the day when you have a strong coffee at work. So on and so forth.

hulahoopqueen · 05/07/2024 14:27

As an emetophobe, I'd take #3 all day long as long as vomit counts as bodily waste!

Mmmmdanone · 05/07/2024 14:29

I was tempted by 1 but 3 would be truly life changing as I'm ruled by my bladder

Alalalalalongalalalalalonglonglilong · 05/07/2024 14:32

No. 1 if it was 2017 and I had just shed a lifetime of weight which I then regained (thank you pandemic) and still can't lose. So I'd pick 3 for now but remain very unhappy with myself and annoyed that the one chance I had to make a sudden change was wasted on me.

LeaveTheClocksAlone · 05/07/2024 14:51

Absolutely definitely 3

romdowa · 05/07/2024 14:59

I'd pick number 2. Never having to mess around with washing and drying hair again would be awesome. Doesn't mean I couldn't take a shower or bath if I wanted.

tothelefttotheleft · 05/07/2024 15:01

@op

Do you still have the bad health you can get from food even though your weight doesn't go up?

Bowib · 05/07/2024 15:04

1, I love baths and showers so it’s not hardship having to wash.

MysweetAudrina · 05/07/2024 15:05

Def 1 as I love a good shite.

Quisisana · 05/07/2024 15:06

3 would be great for long distance hikes and train rides.

DoYouSmokePaul · 05/07/2024 15:08

Definitely three! I hate going to the toilet. If puking was included I’d be a lot happier though.

Yellowbananasarebetterthangreen · 05/07/2024 15:20

None of those tbh. Id choose to be 3 inches taller. Im only 5ft3 and find it annoying.
