If I choose to remain a woman: add 2 more inches to my height, lose the genetic stomach fat, improve ability to build muscles. Maybe less curlier hair.
If I choose to become a man: late 20s, dark wavy hair, 6'5, lean build but not skinny. Wanna be a target version of Michael Scofield, basically.
I’m not even that tall and my height causes issues. People love tall until you try to fit in an airline seat, regular sized car, fit on a bicycle, or buy clothes that don’t need to be custom tailored. Not to mention how often I hit my head on things. And finally it kind of sucks that people are almost always initially intimidated by me based on size, hard to get part that first impression.
Yeah. But, you know, most girls like a tall dude. And I wouldn't mind being part of their fantasies.
From the genetic baseline, totally, if that'd fix my hair loss and dandruff, also a fuller beard. I'd probably give my hair slightly lighter brown color, too.
Balls the size of peas and a cock fat as a cigarette. That oughta get the guys and gals going
Make my spine double jointed and I'd never leave the house.
I'd have everything the same except there was one hair on my head that I could control like a tentacle.
Heck yeah... I'd get better vision, better spine, ... there's a plethora of quality of life things that I think most people would be insane to pass up. On another side, having a sweet of powers that effectively made me Batman levels of ability... How could anyone actually pass that up? Literally just a peak human... Yes please.
"I AM A GOD!!! THE GOLDEN GOD!!! I AM UNTETHERED AND MY RAGE KNOWS NO BOUNDS!!!"
Keep my natural self
So far I think you're the only person who has chosen that. I'm happy for you
It might be nice to try out different hair textures without having to put any work into it.
Other than that, the only scifi dream I would have is a proper GUI/HUD reporting system so I can just get the raw data about when things are going wrong.
I would love a character creator.
I'd resolve my numerous health issues and take on a youthful appearance.
I'd imagine if this was ubiquitously available to everyone we would see a majority switch to their likeness to their favourite characters from whatever media they prefer.
I'd improve the efficiency of my uric acid processing, decrease cardiovascular pressure, and throw in a cat's spine just for fun.
Ignoring the obvious "change myself into a magical wolf man which ends up getting dissected by some government agency", probably just a tune up.
There's a lot of mostly minor and cosmetic stuff I'd fix. Removing the need for glasses. Fixing my teeth. Ridding myself of a genetic thing my chest does. Fixing that weird pop my toe does every one in a while. I'm not really interested in being mr muscle strongman who people think women flock to; it's just not me.
Mentally though, I'd like to see about removing my depression/anxiety stuff, although I'm not sure if that's allowed or not by the rules. That's honestly probably the biggest thing holding me back. I'd keep the autism though; being neurodivergent isn't a crime.
Lots of changes. Not much on the outside, but fix breakable/broken stuff, be more efficient, this kind of things. Not having to worry about your own body betraying you seems like a good idea.
Can I use the button multiple times? If so, I have several experiments / experiences to do / have.
If it's a one time thing, I'd probably stick with the same genetics. I got pretty lucky, and I'd hate to make a change that I later felt negative about.
Hmm. Can I revert to preadolescence like an immortal jellyfish?
I don't relish the idea of doing puberty again, but it'd probably be easier the second time.
Do you retain your memories? Is this like a time travel thing? Are you essentially immortal, but in a loop?
It's more like biotic reversal so no time travel, just suddenly de-aging until just before biological puberty in a similar fashion as turritopsis dohrnii, the immortal jellyfish. Ideally, memory and personality remain intact. Afterwards, aging begins again normally so it's effective biological immortality.
I'd like to have fewer moles on my skin and wouldn't mind the little chest hair I got to stop growing but other than that I'm pretty satisfied with it.
fix my heart and make myself cis. no "improvements"
