Being able to eat gluten. So many things have wheat and thus gluten. Soy sauce? Check. Dumpling wrappers basically everywhere in Japan? Check (more flexible and easier to work that pure rice flour). Tons of sauces? Check. Salad dressings? Check (sometimes via soy sauce in Japan).

The desire to have sex? Sure would make relationships easier.

[–] inb4_FoundTheVegan@lemmy.world 8 points 4 days ago (3 children)

I understand this well. Spent a few decades in dysfunctional relationships rooted in my lack of sexual desire. Happily married to another ace woman today, where sex is only ever suggested as part of joke and we've never even came close. She is liberating, freeing, incredible and safe.

Yet I still hold a lot of guilt from previous partners who spent time thinking something was wrong with them or I was cheating because I always made "not tonight" excuses for several years straight. It wasn't fair to either of us, but my lack of introspection, self-honesty and fear of being alone kept us years of strife.

Things are wonderful now, no complaints but GAWD a lot of heart ache could've been avoided if I had a *normal" sex drive.

A measurable attention span.

[–] singletona@lemmy.world 11 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Oh but it CAN be measured.

It is simply that value is too short for what you need it to be.

Wait, what were we talking about? /jk

Two things, I have horrible vision, wear -9 glasses. And I am autistic and have a very difficult time navigating many social interactions, I would love to not have to deal with either of these.

A body that isn't rapidly degrading before I'm even 30.

I had a couple more grocery store stops to make tonight but decided to go home instead because my body hurts and i wanted to stop moving for a while.

Granted, I am fat and sedentary

I wish I had enough rhythm to dance, not like some amazing dancer, I'm talking even just a little bit. I dance like Elaine on Seinfeld.

Functional parents.

Mine are 80, and due to a lifetime of terrible decisions and this shitty country, are driving for DoorDash, in the car I "loaned" to them a year ago.

I love them, but it'll be nice when the funeral comes, because at least it'll be the last time they use me as an ATM.

Regular fucking eyesight

I'm not even asking for 20/20, I'm asking for eyesight that can be fixed by LASIK

A half-decent singing voice.

To illustrate how bad my singing is: our school did a musical every year. One year it was Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. The music department set up auditions. First they did a speaking audition, after which I was short-listed for Joseph. Then they did the singing audition. I ended up being 'one of the brothers, the one who doesn't really sing anything'.

I don't even want to be an awesome singer, just be able to carry a tune recognisably.
