shapeshifting

depending on how realistic you want to keep it the benefits go from "pretty nice" to "god amongst men" level:

  • backpain? just fix your back
  • toothache? grow new teeth
  • don't feel like going to the hairdresser? shift into a different hairstyle
  • gender problems? forget HRT you can make hormones science doesn't even know about
  • aging is no more (if you want)
  • donate all the blood you want! hell you can donate your heart if you find a doctor that doesn't ask questions
  • mental fog getting you down? just fuckin change your brain. "is it still me after?" don't know don't care now go revolutionize physics Einstein
  • grow a tail

the possibilities are endless

With gender dysmorphia wouldn't it be better just to morph your whole body to align with your gender identity instead of just the hormonesp p

What if you shift into an inanimate object? Do you just no longer exist? Can you change back?

[–] samus12345@lemmy.world 4 points 5 months ago

The way it always works in media, no. They retain their consciousness and ability. I suppose they COULD do that if they chose, though it would basically just be killing themself.

Or just wish to be a Q.
