What, if any, cybernetic augmentation would you want for regular life?

Speak any Human language

A magnum dong to go with my magnum condoms.

Volume control for the ears, with equalizer, decibel normalizer, and active noise cancelling.

Improved eye (singular), a second thumb on right hand, internal physical storage, modular left arm with power tool extensions, a nose and jawline that are very clearly technological but don't do anything else, and a set of integrated wheelies

I used to think a future with cyborgs would be pretty cool but personally, I'm not so hot on the idea anymore. The problem is that you would be beholden to whichever corporation or government manufactures and pays for parts. And who is to say that the support for whichever product that you've surgically implanted will be for life, and that you won't end up with useless landfill electronics sewed up inside of you.

Personally I think that if AI was ever made with altruistic purposes, that could fill the role of things like complex calculations and extra memory or a log. And good Augmented Reality could fill the role of interacting directly with entertainment and blocking out the outside world. And maybe one day there would be effective ways of interacting directly with computers through electrodes or even wirelessly. Although who knows how our privacy would be invaded then. There could be literal thought police in that case.

The problem is that the tech will always come from someone else. Imagine integrating this kind of tech into your life on such a deep level and then the person in charge of over seeing and maintaining this tech turns out to be an authoritarian nazi.

Cyborg butthole

Mechanical “eyes” that correct my vision.

A way to monitor and regulate body chemistry or neural action would be nice. Change and directly see my stress and sleepiness levels, regulate pain at will if necessary etc. I think there would be tons of uses for things like that.

A brainchip would be amazing. But realistically no corporation should be in your head.

This would enable real life language translation, internet functions, scanning, a hud of vitals etc.

I wanna see the hype about regular colour. I’ve got red green blue yellow colourblindness. I wanna see how things are meant to be coloured.

joints that don't wear down over time

throws Shadowrun 2 street samurai catalog on table

This.

arms. hate my current arms and could greatly benefit from sci fi ones

New skin. It doesn’t need to be fancy, just no more scars and a better fit.

I would want a body pocket of at least 100 cm³, some volume controler for ears, and (personnal interest) a fully engineerable right eye

Cyber eyes. I have thick glasses and a lot of floaters, so many that I cannot even tell if my glasses are clean or not most of the time.

But naturally they'd need to look natural and be with zoom, infrared, night vision, a camera function and a video playing function (no wireless functions though).

I've often wished for a searchable brain. No more not being able to think of that thing or someone's name or what exactly happened when.

Bionic ears, mine are shit.

None cause if I have to blast all the synths out there I don’t wanna lose pieces or, worse yet, die

I have a rare lung condition, so I'd want a full double lung transplant and new heart. Maybe just make my chest entirely clear like a computer case.

And chop off both of my feet and give me something new. Not for any real reason, I just hate feet and would rather have springs or something else.

I've thought for many years that the first true cybernetics will be artificial eyes. If they can get self contained optic systems that fit into the eyeball space, it should be trivial to allow them to see a much wider spectrum, plus macro and telephoto. That would be cool. A computer interface for them would be awesome, but I'd have trust issues with that as well.

Bionic eyes, mine are shit

This might sound nuts but, programmable/shifting tattoos.

Like, it could detect elevated levels of cortisol in your blood or increased heart rate and then just gently pulse or warm up to a comforting temperature as a way calm you down or remind you to breathe. Or light up like a custom RGB keyboard, or change colors/holographic effects depending on time of day. Anything really.

A math coprocessor would be nice. Ability to instantly know the answer to equations I see, and ability to do large calculations in my head.

Also, some sort of interface port where I could upload skills or information, matrix-style. And it would have to be a physical port, no fucking way I'd want that available wirelessly.

Bionic back, mine is shit.

extreme cum

A hearing implant that works by audio mixing rather than just raising volume. I'm not deaf, but I have trouble filtering out background noise.

Give me mechanical tentacles like doc ock. I wouldn't want to replace anything.

I want to give birth to our techno overlord's robot babies.

A brain/computer interface. But like you say, depending on the state of tech companies maybe only as an input (I can manipulate computers without allowing them to send a signal of any kind to me).

It'd just be for stuff like mentally dictating note taking, being able to "Google" my thoughts (probably best to send the output to my phone rather than directly into my brain)

Exoskeletons are almost viable already. Climbing a major hike without breaking a sweat is a real dream for outdoors people

Though number one for me would be personal temperature control. Imagine having the perfect ac everywhere you go. Somehow scifi ignores this idea but that would change everything.

Also cybernetic eyes obviously.

Subdermal armour. Like a flexible, slash-resistant, heatproof mesh under the skin. I work in a kitchen so it'd be nice to be able to ignore those pesky little nicks and burns.

functional ovaries

I don't want a pill. I want a full organ integrated into my body that releases hormones responsive to my body's natural rhythms and diet and environment.

I don't care if it's via cybernetic augmentation or a stem-cell grown uterus combo package.

Wouldn't mind something that would fix my tinnitus.

New legs. Not special ones, just new ones that aren't shit. Man that sounds like a downer. I'll take a mechanical hand that doesn't hurt when I forget to take breaks from drawing for 12 hours. And some ocular implant to tell me the name of that person who just waved at me and who clearly knows me.

I can think of other things that sound cool on paper but I've consumed enough media to know that they're VERY bad ideas and not worth it.

Parallel processing. Sometimes when speaking or thinking, something comes to mind which is related but presents a fork. It would be cool to chase both branches

Something like an eidetic memory chip would be splendid.

I too wouldn't actually do it because I don't trust corporations that would make this shit. But I've often dreamed of having a "think to text" option, like speech to text but without having to say it out loud. If this existed I'd have a first draft of a novel from all the plotting and imagining scenes and dialogue when I go on walks. It feels much harder to get the juices flowing when I'm at home with my computer.

I want an implant that can regulate body functions and even rejuvenate & regenerate me.

What would that mean?

• Forever young
• Adonis/Venus body
• Some sort of self-healing capability
• Some sort of body-shaping capability
• Possibly immortal

I've always wanted a [prehensile tail] (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prehensile_tail), cyber or natural.

I also have some trust issues. I'd rather not have spyware built into me.

That said if I could magically wave those problems away, I wouldn't say no to improved senses. Eyes that can see any wavelength from radio to x-rays, with different filters for wavelength and polarization available. Same for ears too.

I have actually considered(but not super seriously) getting a magnet implant so I could detect magnetic fields and current flowing in wires, what do you think the limit of that would be if you took it to an extreme?

Mental augmentations are a bit scarier. For multiple reasons.

Vital sign monitoring system

Usb in something like my finger so i can connect to any pc and use it with my brain

Robotic limbs, mainly because its kind of a dream of mine to create affordable, diy-capable working prosthetics for people who cant afford them, especially if theyre for children/teens who seemingly double in size every half year.

My wife has Fibromyalgia so I'd love some cybernetic implant to dull her pain. Everything seems to hurt for her and something to block some of that and give some strength back to her hands and muscles would be great

Full cyborgisation. Just not one made by any capitalist entity.

If it were guaranteed safe, I would get a regulator installed to control level of sleep. Something that could send you to sleep quickly and send a wakeup impulse at a designated time. Sleep quality would be a game changer

If we're going full sci-fi, I want to fall asleep as soon as my head hits the pillow, then go STRAIGHT to REM. ...and actually stay asleep long enough for any of that to mean jack.

A cortical stack that allows me to upload my brain to a computer, and make back ups or forks of myself.

I really want some of the existing NFC and LED implants that are available, but I keep putting it off because I’m a bit squeamish about installing it myself and no professional service is near me.

None

Any kind of material which simulates an organ lining without risk of rejection or loss of attachment. Just that one simple thing, I bet it would save countless lives and reverse so many diseases. On large scale you could patch up pierced body cavities or ruptured organs, on a small scale you could mend cut veins and arteries. It would be perfect for protecting donated organs, implants such as pacemakers, or temporary iron plates and rods.

I believe machine simulated immune cell attachment has formulated some potential materials, but as of right now it's just scifi.

Right now my tinnitus is killing me soooo CyberEars … but if they comes with a subscriptions I’ll support my old one

slow down my brain on demand so boring repetitive tasks feel fast forwarded.

Not in order but I would like to have Bionic sight Bionic hearing Bionic joints Bionic smell Bionic sleep regulator Bionic metabolism regulator and a bionic muscle regulator

Honestly, I'd go the full cyborg route, like in Ghost in the Shell. This would be my first step toward adjusting my consciousness to existing within and controlling an artificial environment, ultimately aiming for fully uploaded consciousness. I'd want to exist as a cyborg for a couple of decades, then I want to be uploaded into an autonomous space probe with as many sensor types as possible and left to explore the Universe (+/- relativistic speeds, I don't really care). BUT I'd also want the possibility to erase myself, because I most certainly wouldn't want to live forever. At least, not as I see it now. This is the purely sci-fi version.

In the realistic version, a cybernetic eye and a logic co-processor to increase my background process bandwidth. Sure, a brain-computer interface would also be nice, but I somehow suspect I'd get nostalgic for the clackety-clacks and would most likely revert to analog interfacing after a point (for which I'd like that "fingers within fingers" prosthetic from GitS).

Unless, of course, Musk (or any other such) will be handling said cybermods, in which case none, thanks. I'd rather just decay and die as a basic human being than have such people tinker with my bits.

a pair of working wings like a bat, a prehensile tail like a monkey that is strong enough to pick stuff up equally as my arms can, skin like a chameleon that can transition to the color and texture (visually) of my surroundings and regenerative cells like those immortal octopuses.

that's just for regular life, my ultimate fantasy version would have all that but also an improved ass, that sits in an office chair more comfortably so i can write TPS reports more efficiently and with better clarity.
