If you could give up one bodily function what would it be?

[Free Thinker]

I could go without making number 2. With my crappy digestive system I have freqient diarrhea, so it seems like a plus for me.

I won't say sleeping since I actually like it. Sure, I may have dreams about my eyeballs splitting in half, but it helps to not think about stuff for a few hours and just relax.

I'd say either of the two waste removal actions (Nos. 1 & 2), or breathing, provided this scenario would get rid of any health risks that would occur in the real world.

breathing then i would live in a lake

Refractory Period! Oh!

Seriously probably sleeping or breathing,each one is kinda annoying in its own way.

 

[Nuuu]

Vomiting.
Darn it body, you can find a better way to remove a virus besides returning my lunch in a uncormfortable and terrible tasting way.

 

[James13v]

Sleep, easily. Imagine all the stuff you'd get done.

 

[Nieroshai]

I'm tied between the need for sleep and the body's irritating habit of absorbing unneeded calories instead of taking what it needs and dropping the rest back into the intestines.

If you could just not have to do something, what would it be? What if you never had to shave again especially for ladies who hate shaving their legs, or never had to go to the bathroom? What if you never had to sleep again? What about if you could live without breathing, you could never choke or drown. What would you choose?

Obviously, I am kind of playing fast and loose with the definition of bodily function, but basically I am asking what is something that you have to do every day, and it would be awesome to not have to do that ever again.

I would go without sleeping, think of all the extra time you would have.

What would you choose and why?

I agree with you a lot, however I'd modify that to not having to rest, like the no sleep things, and not having to rest after a workout. I'd do that so I could imporve myself mentally and phyisically

 

[Slayer_2]

Not having to sleep, it was a hard choice between that or not having to breathe, but sleeping wastes so much time.

 

[Farseer Lolotea]

Yeah, I'd give up the need to sleep. Not to say that I wouldn't still climb in bed and cuddle with my husband...

 

[MechanicalMusic]

The ability to ingrow toe-nails... that shit hurts more than a stab wound.

I would go without sleeping, think of all the extra time you would have.

Yeah, a whole three or four days before the heart gives out to exhaustion. But if you make it past that marker, then you have insanity to look forward to as your brain starts dying.

I've got a feeling somebody doesn't get the point in this thread..

OT: I clicked on the thread thinking - eating - Food is fucking expensive
Then i saw - sleeping - which is like living for an extra third of your life.
And then - breathing - i would love the feeling of just swimming underwater with no need for air. (This would also be considering my lungs would not explode at low depths due to high pressure) otherwise id have to stay closer to surface.

Also i think fatigue would be great to give up.

So many choices!
Think ill just get rid of that pesky sleeping business.

This post has transcribed my thoughts down to a "t." What is this sorcery?

Sleeping would be my decision because I always have a lot of things I want to do, like write, read, and draw, but I sleep so much I don't have time for it. If I could eliminate the time spent sleeping, I bet I could be a lot more productive.

gaining more weight than i need to have at the time

 

[stinkyrobot]

Would have to go with aging.. anymore I don't want to reverse until I'm a sperm again lol

 

[ThePurpleStuff]

I can cheat and say ALL of the annoying ones that cause nothing but suffering, (periods are a good one, I don't want kids so stop making me miserable you pesky uterus!) But in all seriousness I'd love to live without the need to sleep, there's lots of things I want to do and sleep makes it difficult.

 

[SinorKirby]

Living.

Being undead would be AWESOME. Although, it would probably just kill me. BUT WHO CARES ZOMBIE TIME YEAH!!!

 

[Master Kuja]

Sleep, so long as I don't suffer the effects that come with no sleep. IE: Exhaustion, insanity, hallucinations and eventually death.

 

[newfoundsky]

I would much prefer to have greater control of my bodily functions. That way I'd never finish first and she'll feel awful.

 

[blankedboy]

Excretion, because then I can last forever. :>
No sleep would suck because no dreams.

 

[LarenzoAOG]

Hiccups can go f*** themselves!

You sir are correct!

I don't know what fucking purpose hiccups serve, but the only thing they do is make me angry as all hell.
