Yeah, same for me. It's not that I would never ever sleep, it's just that I would love to not have to sleep.TheMagicIndian said:I choose sleep. So much time lost. Though I could still sleep if I chose to, I suppose.
Enjoy pooping yourself, chewing on your lip until it bleeds, scratching your eyeball, and all the other very unfortunate side effects of the actual medical condition where you can't feel pain. Oh, and never being able to taste hot sauce again. Turns out, not being able to feel pain really sucks. Pain serves a very important purpose - it keeps us from accidentally hurting ourselves.DJ_DEnM said:So yeah. You can remove one thing related to your body. It can be bowel movements, it can be an organ, it can be (In some cases unfortunately) a tumor, etc. I would remove what makes us feel pain. I'd be awesomely unstoppable.![]()
