How much cyborg do you want to be when you grow up?

This dude wanted to be an extrasensory angler fish of some sort. What type of augments are you coveting in the future? Abdominal bagel toaster implant, pencil sharpening nipples, blow dryer/AC in the swamp ass region, AR eyeballs connected to a gaming device embedded into the appendix?

"The Cyborg Antenna is a sensory system created to extend color perception.[43] It is implanted and osseointegrated in Harbisson’s head and it sprouts from within his occipital bone. It has been permanently attached to Harbisson’s head since 2004 and it allows him to feel and hear colours as audible vibrations inside his head,[44] including colours invisible to the human eye such as infrareds and ultraviolets.[45] The antenna also allows internet connection and therefore the reception of colour from other sensors or from satellites.[24] Harbisson began developing the antenna at college in 2003 with Adam Montandon[46] and it was upgraded by Peter Kese and Matias Lizana, among others.[44] The antenna implant surgery was repeatedly rejected by bioethical committees but went underway regardless by anonymous doctors.[47]

Harbisson has given permission to five friends, one in each continent, to send colours, images, videos or sounds directly into his head. If he receives colours while asleep his friends can colour and alter his dreams.[48] The first public demonstration of a skull-transmitted image was broadcast live on Al Jazeera's chat show The Stream.[49] The first person to make a phone call directly into his skull was Ruby Wax.[50]


Neil Harbisson conducting a colour concert at Palau de la Musica Catalana, Barcelona (2014)[51]
In 2014, Harbisson executed the world’s first skull-transmitted painting. Colours sent from audience members in Times Square as they painted simple coloured stripes onto a canvas were received live via internet directly into Harbisson's brain.[52] He correctly identified and painted the same color stripes onto a canvas in front of an audience at The Red Door, 10 blocks away from Times Square.[53]

So this thing just vibrates his skull at some audible frequency corresponding to some light frequency? Weak. It should at least probe into his brain and directly stimulate neurons. This guy is only 0.1% cyborg max 😕
 
Hard to say, I'm open to bionic replacements for my major components, and depending on how things are going, how far I'd like to extend my lifespan. I might decide a hundred years on this rock is enough, especially if we don't figure out some ways to unfuck said rock.

Depends .... do we get bionic junk? 😛
 
I want magnetic mounts on my temples and nose bridge to hold spectacles and other devices. I want an eyeball and LED light on my palm for close work. A fingertip text scanner might be useful.
 
I'm hoping my COVID vaccine nanobots will build me a new pancreas or at least some beta and islet cells.

I could go for a cybernetic left eyeball too, the retinal detachment kinda fuckered that one. A zoom feature with a targeting reticle would be sweet.

Looks like the new variant doesn't give a rat's ass about your vaccine.
 
I want the implant that gives subtitles when people speak. especially where they are speaking a language I dont know, i want it to translate it into english. Also, i dont want it to translate like how automatic translate currently works. I want it to take context into account, and translate like a human translator, using some kind of learning AI maybe.

just get a babel fish and put it in your ear.
